Hey everyone!!!!

Well, as for this week, it was just that, a week.  We have been going around and finding new people to teach and that has been fun sometimes.  We have also been trying to find people who will be ready for baptism this coming transfer end.  So as far as everything is going, it's just a week.

We have Elder Doffon in the apartment now.  So yeah, he's pretty cool, the downside is that he is still learning English.  I help him out a lot with words and stuff like that, it's pretty fun.  We have had some good apartment moments, but as far as being alone in the apartment it is impossible.  We have members and investigators come over all the time and they stay till like 12 or something like that.  Also, it's just tiring most of the time.

As far as energy goes, I have none.  Lokutshu does a personal study every morning at 5 and also does a study at night.  A lot of the time he forgets to turn off the light, so I am stuck with no sleep.  Other than that, it's just kind of well here.

So this week has been clockwork to say the most.  Get up, go out, see people and come home.  We have been working with new people and they are pretty cool.  One of my favorites is a sister named Gladise.  She has been living in Odoben for a while and her husband works in Accra.  We have been teaching her a bit and she loves it!  She really hopes to keep learning from us, and she has 3 little girls that ironically aren't afraid of me haha!!!!  We have also been working with some members to track down less actives.  We also have a few of our recent converts who are falling less active.  That is a serious bummer!!!  The problem that we are now facing is that they just don't want to come to church because they are too busy.

Well then, as far as things are going it's pretty ok.  We have been working a lot and it's ok.  The missionaries in Asikuma have been doing pretty amazing with their area.  I'm glad they got missionaries out there, its pretty sweet!!!

Well, things are good here, and well yeah.  If you have been able to figure out how to send stuff that would be amazing!!!  I'd like a photo album of the fam and my friends!!  Also, I can live with some nice American candy over here haha!!!

Hope things are going amazing back home!!!!  I love you all and I hope to see you soon!!!!!!!

Love,
Elder Stockton Smith
