Everything is Bigger in Ghana

Well, Howdy everyone! I hope your weeks went well! Things have been pretty awesone here! It has been quite a week... both good and bad!
So i dont know if my video will attach or not, so i might have to save one story for next time... but this week i found out i have a mortal enemy here in Ghana... he is about 3 feet long from nose to tail, he likes to take my fruit scraps and move them from our compost pile to our front porch... and i named him "Stupid Garbage" .. he is a giant rat that has been living in one of our spare cabinents that is left on the porch. But we started our final battle this past weekend. He took my pineapple scraps and nade a giant mess right outside our door, so i made a spear and went to go hunt him down. Well... long story short, the dang rodent got away..  he won the battle, but i will win the war!

We had a really rainy day this week, and i got bored of staying inside, so i went out to go cut down some weeds. While doing this yard work, i looked over and saw a couple snails. So i grabbed them and went to go race them (just like in turbo!! But a lot slower.) on my way back to the door, i found a bunch more. I kept searching and ended up gathering about 5 lbs of snails... good eatin' i say!!

We have also had my longest experience with light out this week. 36ish hours! But it is crazy how often and for how long the lights go off now a days... we went from saturday morning at about 3 to sunday evening without and then again monday. So that means it was way too hot in our apartment, so i went camping.😂 i took my mosquito tent and one of our spare mattresses and went outside after i doused myself with mosquito repellant. Now i can say i went camping in Ghana and didnt get eaten alive by mosquitos!

Some more news from Adjei Kojo is that i will be getting transferred! This wednesday i will be moving to Asutsuare (i think that is how you spell it... yall can google it) ... My new companion will be Elder Eliason!  I think he is from Utah, but i am not 100% sure of that... let me make sure and i will add it to my email next week! This new area is just next to my second area akuse! So i am semi-familiar with the general area. I am finally leaving the city and heading to the bush! I will make sure to send pictures next week! Have a great week everyone!

Love,
Elder Williams
