| Happy Mother's Day |
This week was a busy one but went by seriously fast. We had a lot of little final things to finish up before the big calling day. We had to run out and fix some credit and give some new phones to people because theirs broke. But, the big calling day went seriously well. After we fixed all of the minor things, there weren't any problems. Along with the other 180 something missionaries in this mission, I was also able to call my family. It was such a great experience and so great to see and talk to each one of them. I am so grateful for such a wonderful family!

We have been teaching a lot of people recently that have really been progressing well recently, like a family we met a couple of weeks ago. They are all progressing well towards baptism hopefully at the beginning of next month. As a mission as a whole, we have definitely been seeing some serious negative results recently. Baptisms have been down this whole year, and there has definitely been a halt in the work recently. President Cosgrave asked the entire mission to have a mission-wide fast last Sunday. It has only been a couple of days, but I and other missionaries have already seen the results of the fast. In the mission baptisms and other key indicators are up, and in my area, we have found two new people that are serious about the gospel and are planning to come to church this Sunday. God is aware of his servants and I know that this is work and He is guiding it.

Picture of the massive flooding that has been happening because of the rain. Dry places are literally turning into swamps.

To end, I will tell another story about how Ghanaians hate the rain. It is like everything shuts down inside them or something. The whole town shuts down as well. It is seriously like they are robots and as soon as they get wet, they shut off. On Sunday morning I woke up to the sound of rain. And instantly thought oh-no!!!! We were running a little late to the chapel, and when we got there, only 15 members were there at 9 and at the end of sacrament meeting the number remained the same. Noone wanted to come to church because of the rain and the rain even stopped at 8:30, thirty minutes before church even started!
