Just another day!!! in AFRICA

To be honest it really didnt feel like i have been in africa till today when we had the opportunity to go to the temple. we drove through downtown accra to get there. i had an amazing experience over half of the elders here have not had the chance to go to the temple. i escorted two elders through the temple. really really great experience. we drove back and it kinda hit me that i was in africa. there are street venders who walk among the cars and sell you anything, dried bananas, water sacks, soda, windsheil wipers. its like the best drive through system i have ever seen.;) There are always ambluances driving around and elder widdison and i came realized it was probably for people getting hit by cars. no big deal.

Elder Widdison and i are getting pretty close. he is a really cool guy and we can kinda get some frustrations out with each other. he has a "friend' he talks about alot but all the missionaries know its his girlfriend. ahah yesterday we did a money exchang we alot of the other missionaries i got money from dubia, liberia, nigeria, south africa, australian, cote diviore. some really cool bills dont worry i only spent like 55 dollars american money,

this experience has really opened my eyes to the world, i never really saw black and white before but now i am colorblind if you know what i mean. there is no difference between black and white we are just people.

im reading the book of mormon again and its making alot more sense to me now. i have really strengthed my testimony more in the past 5 days then probaly all of my life. the missionaries here dont come with a whole lot more then just knowledge and a dedication to the gospel i have never seen before most of them have been converts for like 1-2 maybe 3 years i there knowledge surpasses mine greatly.

im sorry about the water heater and the washer machine. last night i hand washed 3 of my white shirts in the bathroom sink and took a really cold shower just to feel something cool on my body im sleeping most of the night now not waking up to stand infront of the fan for a little bit to cool off. i have almost gotten use to weather. not gonna lie getting kinda tired of the mtc. Love you all and talk to you on sunday.

love,

Elder Skouson
