September 28, 2009

This past week went by really fast and not a whole lot happened that was out of the ordinary.
We dug a trench for some people, wearing our white shirts, although we did take our ties off. You should have seen their faces when we picked up a shovel and started to help. It was really cool.
My new companions, Elder Miqueas Ottonelli (from Argentina) and Elder Micheal Ertelt (from German) are cool, they both go home in four weeks. The members of the Church here are pretty cool. There is a Ghanaian family here, we are going to make FuFu with them this week.
Yesterday we ate at an American family's house (they are from Cache Valley). They are here for the husband's job and will be going back the day after me. They are really great.
We have been playing basketball at a court next to our house with a bunch of college students. They are all our friends now and they invite us to go to salsa parties and stuff like that. They know that we are missionaries and they respect that and have a lot of questions, even the ones from Iran and Afghanistan.
I am learning French from Elder Ertelt (he transferred from the French-speaking part of our mission) and it is coming along alright. I'm trying to finish the Book of Mormon in French before I come home.
