Well this week has been insane. It still rains nearly everyday which is nice because it cools everything off but terrible because the humidity goes through the roof. So, please, stop blessing the rains down in Africa.
Oh before I forget, when I went back to my apartment last Monday the power was off. We thought it was Dumso (when electricity stops working) but it lasted over a day. We then realized that the power had been cut off to our apartment, completely. It was terrible. We called a few people to fix the problem and they said it would be up the next day first thing. We then went another full day and night without power. It wouldn't be that bad if I was in Utah because I would just put on more layers but in Ghana that is not the solution. Sleeping has been hard. But luckily for us we got our power back on when we were going on our fifth day with it off. Wow I love Ghana.
I have been going non stop the past few days, but that is to be expected. I I have gotten better at speaking the language but I still have so much to learn and to progress on. I wish it came easy to me but as always it is not a gift I have.
Luckily I have been blessed with another gift, I can now eat really anything that is put in front of me. Fufu, Banco, rice ball, anything. It is great because there isn't much of a selection where I am located.
So me and my companion have figured out how to have an apartment fund and an extra fund for things we want. It allows us to cut the money that we spend each day. Because of this we have learnt that we live off of three or so dollars a day. Which would not work in America but isn't too bad out here in Ghana.
I miss you all. I would love to hear from everyone. I am also sorry if i do not get back to you right away. There is so much to do and so little time to do it.
Love to all of you, Elder Edison
*Things get better every single week and I am meeting so many people. And we are so so so busy!
