Pictures and 18 month mark

hey fam,

well, i don't have too much to say this week, so i decided to send some pictures.
  
i know a told you about rita, the runaway girl that we met a month or two ago. here is a picture of her. a couple of weeks ago we randomly ran into her as she was coming home from school. we were on the other side of kumasi in the sister missionaries area, it was nuts. On the left is my companion Elder Christensen.
 
a couple of weeks ago (february 6th) i had one of the sweetest sundays of my mission. here is our investigator's class that day!!

left to right: me, elder darrow, elder holmes, & my comp. elder christensen

here's a picture of the stake president, president samchi (that is sam-chee) and his family. they live in our ward, and we go to their house often. we are really close with them. their daughter, dora, just turned eight and was baptised that day.
 
here's one of francis, fredrick, mcallen, and me. they are three SWEET recent converts that were baptised into the other bantama ward just before elder lehr was transferred. you could send the mcallen picture to the darrows cause they know about him, he's from sekondi.  


out doing what we do best - walking!

i was walking through a very busy market one day and i saw a guy wearing a red jersey that instantly caught my eye and i knew what college it was. so i raced through the crowd over to the man and asked him if i could take a picture with him. he looked real confused as to why this random white man wants to take a picture with him, but accepted.
 
here i am outside of elder and sister bennet's apartment in sunyani.

well, we had another super hard working week, it feels really good. on sunday we had all of our sweet people come to church. maame and mother came again. isaac amponsah came and even brought his wife, beatrice. isaac yebaoh also came with his wife akos again. they're all in that picture (except for amponsah's wife) i'll point you out all of them sometime.

today is my 18 month mark! it's crazy.

we are finishing up our goal. my companion accomplished it with a baptism yesterday, but two members of our zone need to accomplish it by the end of the week. pray for us!

we got a new mission goal this week. every missionary is to baptise a family AND help a different family to go to the temple to be sealed in four months.
that's all i got for today. i love you, thanks for everything.

love, elder mackay
