The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (and the random)

by dad

The Good

this week has been very interesting. the baPtizms were so awesome. the first person i got to baptize what Joseph Kojo Mann, then King David Dogbe Badasu (pronounce how you like. you won't get it right haha) and then Kojo Awotwe (same as King David). it was so awesome. so cool that i got to have Joseph as my first. he is special to me and his day finially came. i got quite nervous before hand but all went smoothly. the water was a hue of green. that was weird. i was SO focused on not messing up and everything that i don't know if the spirit was as strong, but it really was the icing to the cake when i saw Joseph's face. he had a wet smear where he recently wiped a tear after the closing hymn; The Spirit of God. that was cool. i felt like i could pack up and go home cuz i got that sweet missionary story to tell. BUT i'm not done. i got lots more to do so don't get too excited.

The Bad

the reason i say this week has been interesting is because we had 3 baptisms and 0 lessons. yup 0.... elder bahme has been very, very sick. just has had a nasty head cold, and can't talk very well. so i have been in the apartment all week. i can't even begin to tell you what it feels like and how i feel like i'm wasting SO much time but there isn't anything i can do. when your sick, your sick. SO i just stayed busy. did alot of cleaning and BOM reading. i'm reading alot. but there is only so much reading you can do before you start to space off. (interesting when you read a whole page and then you realized; "hmm... what is the par at hole number 14 at ______ ?" so then i have to stop and do something else till i can focus). wish that wasn't true but it is.

happens to the best of us. but i love that book. it's so awesome.

The Ugly

you want a good story? well, because of the

rain here (it has been raining all week, all the time) the shower water is very, very cold! showers are such a delight. sigh... the water is so cold that i have to pump myself up to shower. i usually can't stay under the water for more then 20 seconds. when i am under i'm shaking and moving and usually singing something like mad so i don't focus on the water. sigh. such a fool. hahah.

and the random...

i have noticed that the one thing i miss the most here is cheese. it really does make everything soo much better. i wish i had some of that. i found out this week that on the 21st we are doing a beach picnic and i'm super excited. that means our golf outing will be on the 14th :) oh yeah! i found out that the mission is doing a temple trip between sep-oct. so stoked! love that place.

i love you guys so so much. you mean to world to me. thx for everything you do.
