Once again this email will not be very detailed due to 1. Being an office Elder 2. I am a little lazy at emailing right now.

| Zone leaders/District Leaders/Ap's/ Mission President of the GCCM |
Monday as we all know was America's birthday!!! We celebrated by treating ourselves to some nicerish food then we have on a daily basis. It was a great time to spend together (4 office Elders and the Assistants to the Pres). A comment was made by one of the AP's who goes home in 3 weeks to Utah - we as an office are the most unified group of all the past office elders. #YAASSS

| Our sweet bonfire on Monday night. about 7ft or so tall... cant see that at scout camp |
Tuesday was our office/ district meeting day. At district meeting I went prepared to instruct on how to make our prayers more meaningful. For the instruction I passed around copies of a devotional talk given by Joseph B Wirthlin entitled "Making our Prayers more meaningful". And we also listened to it on a speaker so we can see and hear it. The instruction was based off of PMG pg. 93 "Pray in Faith". I enjoyed continuing my learning on prayer the days that I was preparing for it the week before. Prayer is THE BEST. What a great gift to be able to communicate to the heavens :) Hope we pray morning and night.
Later on Tuesday evening we were put in charge of picking up the Telecom Zone leaders (old zone) and the two District leaders from Telecom at the station. So we had 8 total Elders staying in our apartment.... bye bye good smelling bath soap!!!
Wednesday was a great day but a long day. We had missionary leadership council from 10:30am- 5. The zone leaders usually go once a month but this time the District leaders joined in. So I got to take part :) Instructions were given on baptismal interviews, companion exchanges, stuff from the office Elders, and Leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ by President Stevenson. That evening we transported my last companion 30 minutes to his apartment because he would have traveled alone in a taxi (basa basa). We then transported my TC Elder Park to the mission home so he can go home for recovery. He had a surgery gone bad on his in grown toenail 8 weeks ago and has not been healing so he will recover and be back soon :)

Thursday was going to be a great day but Elder Simpson's stomach decided to give him problems yet again. So what was supposed to be a day of teaching turned to my companion sick. But we were at the office and then due to a couple things with the other companionship we went on an exchange. I drove Elder Jager around to do his office things in Cape coast.
Friday was yet another office day. More buying supplies. #SUPPLYELDERFORLIFE.

| I made pancakes for the apartment on Friday morning. No syrup but we used Chocolate spread instead |
Saturday we went out to teach finally!!!! And to make things even better we had our investigator Francis interviewed for baptism :) His baptism is going to be this Saturday. I could not be any more happy for this occasion!! Francis is a solid guy. His wife and young son were first to be baptized in November 2015 and Francis was not interested. Francis said he decided to start to come to church and be taught by us because of the change he saw in his wife and son :)

| Sunday lunch!! Fried rice and some pineapple. |
The worst part about this week is one of the less actives we have started to see again literally RAN away from us. She is a big girl and WOW can she run quick when she sees us walking to her. Helina was baptized and stopped coming to church 6 years ago even after bringing the rest of her family to the church. I know the reasons but will not share. All I will say is that she was not doing CPR!!!! Thats right, CPR. Church attendance...Praying... Reading her scriptures. Let us all do the basic things (plus more) so our testimonies will always be improving and not backsliding.
