Well im really not in the mood to type another letter. i just got to the end of my letter to u guys and the stupid power went off and i lost everything! Freakin heck! ah.... k here i go again. sorry if its not a good one but i hope u will understand. blah. im glad to hear that u r aall doing well! i have still been flying high since talking on skype. that was the best thing ever! So for rainy season. we don't get wet usually. when it is pooring rain we take cover obviously. haha so ya, we arent wet for the rest of the day or anything. the only time we are wet is when we are going home and we dont care. 


our rc's are all doing awesome. hopefully they can all go to the temple with our ward next month because they are going on a temple trip. As for our investigators we dont really have too many. Charles and cynthia are
awesome as usual with their family. they werent able to be baptized this sunday but next sunday they will for sure. we already did their interview yesterday and everything so they are all set. For kwabena, he is still trucking along. he still knows everything we teach him and more! ha he teaches us more than we teach him i swear! ha ok power off and on again. yay. love ghana. luckily i saved it right when i heard it beep this time. haha 


ok so i have been feeling very good! back to my normal self! cant say the same for elder hatch and smith though. haha i have been doctoring them with all my oils though, so thanks grandma! As for me and my companion, we r doing ok. he is from a rich family in nigeria so he does not like to do anything too hard haha
like our service projects or fetching water or even favors. but hes not like the other african elders which is good and bad. ha we are managing though. of course it is a challenge, but i know that it will only help me in the long run and make me stronger.


So for adventures this week... well we have been trying to get more member referals and we went to a members house to teach her daughter who isnt a member. She had told us that she lived far, but we were just like ya ok we can walk anywhere. turns out we went to the edge of our area and then took a taxi clear in another direction until we reached the last stop and then continued by walking clear in the same direction forever! Only to get there and find out that her daughter isnt serious at all. she is 20 and just graduated high school and doesnt care about anyhting. we tried to have a lesson with her but it failed. no joke she said maybe 10 words the whole time and she wouldn't tell us anything. i wanted to kill her cause i was like really?! we came all the way out here and u are gonna be like this?! and its not like we could just leave cause we were with the member. The worst part though is that we have to go back there tomorrow! ah! noooo! its gonna suck. who knows though maybe shell be different. 


sorry i dont have the day to day stories this week cause we got back really late everyday this week and so i would just eat write in my journal and crash. Do u really mean that i can stay with u forever? haha r u sure? even when im married and have kids? careful cause i might just take u up on that! ha Did u guys enjoy the pics and were u able to watch the videos? 


ok so saturday we did another service project at that house that burned down and we are getting close to getting it cleaned up.  its hard when u only have 2 crappy wheelbarrows and a couple bad shovels and no gloves! ha Also idk if u remember a charles that gagne and i were teaching a while ago but he finally came to church on
sunday! i was so pumped! it was awesome! Apparently he is moving though so freakin heck! As for sonny he is still awesome. just very busy so we havent been able to meet with him. he wont make it to be baptized on the 27th either, but im not worried about him being baptized because i know he will. 


Well sorry for kinda the lame letter, but the other one was better i promise! haha i love u all and thank u so much for everything! also i could use more of my fav fruit snacks! thanks! oh and a symphony bar with almond and toffee bits! mmmm!!! loving the velveeta by the way too. best thing ever! I have been trying very hard not to let ghana get the best of me! ha oh and hopefully elder hatch will have room to bring ur nativity sets home.  he'll prob just call u when he gets home. ok well love u all zoo much and thank u everyone for all ur support in anyway! 


Love, Elder Slade
