On New Years, we had an interesting experience. We all came in, planned, and
with the little time left before bed time, we played a game. All of us
are enjoying ourselves, having a good time, when we see red and blue lights
flashing outside. I hit the lights
while Elder Iyamu looked outside.Elder Iyamu thought it was Daniel (which
Daniel was stationed 40 minutes away.... all of us knew that besides him I
guess) so he yells,"Whats up bro!!!" Then we hear,"POLICE!! POLICE!! COME
OUT!!" Ahh.... not the response we wanted. I would be lying if I said
my heart didn't jump a little. As we
opened the door and walked to the gate, the truck drove off. Hmm.... we
went to the gate, opened it, and watched the truck pull around a
house. all of us blankly stared at each other....... then went in. no clue what it was for, but we thought we had done something wrong. these
guys were not sounding happy at all when they were yelling for us to come
out.
The other day we went on exchanges with the ZLs, and when they
were heading down to kpandu to do an interview, we met up with the
other Elders and then they split. There was a problem though... 3 bikes,
4 Elders. We improvised and Elder Iyamu hopped onto the pole between the
seat and the handle bars of my bike. Things were going well until he felt
the courage to take the handle bars while I peddled. One of those moments
where you know its not a good idea, but since you're the one in the back with
someone infront, it gives you assurance that they'll take the blow of it
all. :) now, in Ghana, they have 2 ft ditches that run along the side of
the roads with no coverings. If you're not careful, you'll find yourself in
one. Keep that picture in your head. We get going, and he takes over. I
got the peddles going, and then reality hit him. He realized how difficult
it was to steer, so I went to reach for the handle bars. Before I could get
to it, we were on our way towards this ditch. I still knew I was
safe though. everything that ran through my head with the idea that
it was bad, was now playing forth in front of me. The bike approached
the side of the road, and luckily Ghana isn't good at keeping up on
pot holes, so the front tire entered a pot hole and the wheel
went sideways. Made for an abrupt stop. Once again, I was safe. he flew into the handle bars and the bike hit the ground with him
landing on it. For me... some how I walked out of the situation, literally. The tire hit and both of us went forward, but I
got projected in such a way, that I walked off the bike. Miracle? For
me at least... he was feeling it small haha But, that didn't stop us. We
made it successfully home after that!
We did have a
baptism this weekend! Sister P. who has been investigating the Church
since September. Elder Eppich and I had contacted her, and after all these
visits with her, she is prepared and ready for that step. She will be
awesome to have in the church! She has a little boy thats the cutest thing in
the world. Whenever he disturbs in lessons, I'll hold him in the air like dad
used to do with T. and B. and he starts laughing his head off. Sometimes it makes him sick, but for the most part, it works on keeping
him quiet so she learns.
Hope that this week you all stay away from
poisonous gases and blown over semis! Be safe and follow the spirit. Show
why its important to have the Spirit Directing your life. Thanks again for
everything! Love you all! Until next week.
Love Elder Zaugg
