The week has been fantastic! We have had lots of lessons and two investigators came to church! Alex was one of them and he is so ready to be baptized on the 2nd of July. Jason a guy who we have been teaching for a few weeks came to church. It always seems to happen that the Sunday you bring an investigator to church something bad happens. It wasn't necessarily bad, but a guy from the stake gave a 25 min talk on genealogy and it was SO boring. Me and Elder Foster kept looking at each other with the look of "oh my days" but it all worked out. He said he liked it. 

We had a Caribbean family we taught as well. The husband is really cool and inquisitive. The mom is Shika and the daughter is 7. It was the second teach we had with them and it was one of my favourite teaches I've had in the mission. We didn't practice it at all or have very much prep and due to buses we got to his house an hour early. We got in and the Spirit was strong. We taught the plan of salvation and answered all his questions. We flowed so well and worked in perfect unity and the key I think was just having love. When a companionship loves each other and strive to love those around them everything will always work out.

Here's a random video of me chewing I thought you might enjoy.... Hahaha

Went to the cathedral today. It was so cool. We took the official
tour. It was crazy and I took lots of notes haha the cathedral was
built in 1200ad and it only took 38 yrs. it's like 2 times the size of
the salt lake temple. Too bad it's the church of the devil whore of
the all earth....

Still nice to look at though haha

The new companion is German and he is so funny. Well it's not just him it's more of the 3 of of us together haha he is just as sassy and sarcastic and me and Elder Foster but he is German so it makes it so much funnier. He doesn't say things politely. Me and Elder Foster don't know if it's because he's German or just rude hahah when we ask for things he will just say "give me that" in his German accent and then we just laugh at him haha. We all get along equally and we don't feel like anyone is third wheeling. I'm honestly going to be sad when I have to leave. I've laughed so hard in the past 4 days!

So Alex, our most progressing investigator, is doing so good!! We have taught him a lot and he comes to church every week and he answers questions in young men that are spot on. I love that kid! Every time we see each other he gives me a hug! That's one of my favourite parts about being a missionary is making life long friendships! I absolutely love it out here. I've been growing and changing so much into the person the Lord wants me to be or I at least have been trying to.

The rest of the week has been great! We have been teaching a lot of black people! First lesson on Tuesday night was with a Nigerian family. I was at the temple that night so went a part of it. They were referred to us by a member. Wednesday during knocking we found a Caribbean family and taught them all on Friday. The lesson was really good and wasn't too weird or awkward. We actually flowed well and the family really liked the lesson and committed to reading the BoM. On Saturday we played football only with Ghanians and we were the only white people as usual haha! We got a ride home with one of the people playing and it's around a 30 minute drive and we had a really good gospel conversation. Never taught that many black people. 👍🏿

My new companion comes on July 5th. He doesn't know English and that's why he is is not here yet. He has to stay an extra 3 weeks to learn. So I'll be teaching him haha and he is Thai straight from Thailand! I don't know the area I'll be going yet. It's all a mystery. President Goobler jokingly asked me if I have any revelation in where I should go so he doesn't even know where I'll go haha.

Fred and Jill brewer both 80 yrs old have been married for 53 years. The first picture is them on wedding day. The 2nd is their 25 wedding anniversary, and this is them now. They still makes jokes at each other and mess around. They making me so happy!!!
