The Church This Week Got At Least One Ghanan Cooler

09/21/2009

Hey.

Hows it going? Well I will just start off and say that the Church this week got at least one Ghanan cooler. Ben got baptized on saturday and confirmed yesterday. The quad made it here and he really loved it. He really was elect and i think a key to other africans at the medical univeristy. But Valaree has ditched us a few times so i dont know whats up with him. I think we are just going to leave him for a little bit and wait for him to call us. He needs to do his part. We have this other lady named Valatena who is on date. She just showed up at church and the members introduced us to her and so she is doing good. Also the other elders are teaching this lady that i found when i was with Elder Hertz. She is will be baptized as well. So thing here in Simeropol have really turned around. Zone Conferences arent in Dnepr. They are in Simeropol for our zone and in other cities. The only time i go to Dnepr is for Zone Leaders Council and Transfers. My talk went fine though. Talked about the Atonement and Missionary work. That sucks Utah lost but i am glad BYU got owned. Is Tom Brady still playing or what? The Carters go home next month. The lady is Zap still hasnt been baptized since she cant give up smoking. But she is still around. That is awesome about Kolby speaking. I really like that kid. Haha thats funny about the english thing though. We teach for 2 hours a week. One hour tuesday and one on friday. Its pretty fun. Its probably the most effective way of finding people. Tracting is only something you do if you have nothing else to do. Its really ineffective here. We also have a sign that we stand outside with but thats kind of ineffective as well. Good stories always come from it though. People are crazy. But the way i figure Tracting Signboarding and Street Contacting are ways that you have to pay the price to the Lord for people like Ben. So its worth it. The only time i have fasted on my mission in on fast sundays. Other than that i havent. But anysports reminder are good. They give me something to talk about with other missionaries. Well i hope everything is going well for you guys. Love you and thanks for all the support.
