Hey everyone!!!!!

So this week has been pretty cool.  We have been enjoying aaaaaaahhhhhhhh at the apartment and these guys are so crazy!!!!!  We have a lot of fun at the apartment, and it's pretty sweet.  So Paddon and Goodrich haven't been feeling too good, so hopefully they don't have Malaria.  Otherwise, this is going to be a long transfer.

We haven't had much luck with some of our investigators.  Some are pretty busy and some live too far away for us to see them.  What I would give to have a car, but with this traffic, I'll take biking any day haha!!!!  We have some baptisms coming up here soon, and hopefully nothing will get in the way of them getting dunked!!!!!!  We have Brother Kingsley doing very well, but on the other hand, it isn't looking so well for some of our other investigators.  So yeah, we're just waiting for things to fall into place over here.

It's been getting hotter here, mainly cuz the rain comes and it's amazing!!!!!!!  Me and the guys sometimes go outside and dink around for a while.  I enjoy going to the park near our place to just chill there.  Play some soccer in the rain haha!!!  We also enjoy playing card games in the apartment.  Other than that, not much to do.

So well, mom, I need to set up a Skype account for me and send me the info for Mother's Day.  Speaking of which I would love for my friends to come over so I can say "hi" and see how things are going!!!!  So, let me know ok?

So that's it I guess haha!!!!!!  Love you all, be safe!!!!

Love,
Elder Stockton Smith

We baptized three amazing kids!!

Enjoying fufu

African fufu:  A staple food with deep roots in Ghana's history.  Often made with cassava flour.  Cassava is a woody root native to South America.  Portuguese traders introduced the cassava to Africa from Brazil in the 16th century.  In Ghana, before cassava was introduced, yam was the fufu's main ingredient, or, in some situations, plantains or cocoyams.   The cassava is boiled and then pounded into a dough-like consistency.  It is eaten with the fingers with a small bowl of accompanying soup or sauce.
