Well, this week is pretty interesting, haha!!!!!

So as for this week, I got a haircut like you wanted mom.  Turns out the Ghanains aren't that good with cutting white people hair.  Their hair is harder so when they cut mine, it wan't that good.  Luckily, I was able to guide him in cutting hair.  Not too bad, if I do say so myself.

We got word that we are having a mission seminar at the temple sight.  We may be having an apostle or someone come to see us.  We haven't had word yet so we don't know.  Also, on that day we have transfers.  So, we have no idea what's going to happen.  We got word from zone leaders that we have 3 new missionaries coming to this zone.  So who knows, I might be training haha!!!!

Alright, time for the week!!!!  So, as for this week it has been the same.  We had President come over this week and do apartment inspection.  We were lucky to clean the apartment before he came haha.  We had interviews and President Simpson is fricken amazing!  He's gonna be a good president for the rest of my mission.  Hopefully, things work out haha!!

We have been working hard with some of our investigators and luckily we have had success.  We have a few baptisms coming up this month for Godson and a few other investigators.  Godson's baptism is this next week.  We had a baptism yesterday for brother Caleb.  We have been teaching him for only a few weeks and he accepted baptism.  We will confirm him a member this next week.  We have also been working with a lot of members lately and we have had a lot of fun.  One family in particular is helping us a lot when we go out and teach.  I can't pronounce their last name, but they are amazing!!!!

We have also gotten word that they might open Asikuma area again.  So, maybe things will change for me this next week.  We don't know haha!!!!  We have been trying our best to find more investigators in Asikuma and we have had some luck.  We contacted a lot of people this last Friday.  I can't remember their names, but they seem cool.  At least we'll be able to visit them and start teaching them soon.  That apartment though, it is so sketch!!!!

Well,  things are going well here in good old Odoben.  Hopefully, things work out now that new missionaries are coming in.  Hope you all are having an amazing time!!!!

Love,
