We've been hearing about some weird natural disasters going on... small earthquakes in Idaho, wildfires in the west, hurricanes and flooding in the south, etc. Let me know if anything drastic happens.
I'm forced to email a little late today because we had some unexpected surprises that we had to take care of. But this week was great because we accomplished a lot of our to-do list in the office and also got to see our investigators more. Two of our sweet investigators right now are named Jackson and Jeffrey. They are the ones that Ebenezer introduced us to last week. They are humble and they are easy to teach. They're both very smart and skilled workers; Jackson works at a mattress company and Jeffrey is a heavy machinery operator. We're a little concerned because a lot of excavator operators get caught up with the gallumsey, the illegal mining operation in Ghana that police are trying to crack down on. But Jeffrey's a really good guy and I know that if he had better work he would always steer clear of that.
I've been feeling a drastically decreasing desire to go home. I never thought that I would be nervous about it, and I still don't feel anxious... it just doesn't sound fun. Sorry. I love all of my family and friends. I just didn't expect to feel this way. It's always been amusing to think about what it would be like after two years, but now there is no amusement. As we would say in the apartment, Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiai!!!! Asemooo! (translates to: Exclamation! That's a huge problem!)
Elder Crane is from Gilbert, Arizona. He played soccer and rode dirtbikes. He was a desert racer, and that's kind of how he drives the car. He's always fun and cheerful and nice to people. They like to talk to him.
The funniest quote of the week was in sacrament meeting when the second counselor in the branch presidency said: "We are pleased to announce the funeral of ........ which will be held on..... " Only in Ghana, where the biggest day of your life is your death. We also had an awesome family home evening and dinner with the Rogers family (from Utah). They made mashed potatoes and I almost cried in the first two bites. I didn't realize how much I missed potatoes.
Keep up the good work! My family is so stable and that's something I'm grateful for. Especially stable in the gospel. The picture is a haircut I gave to another missionary, who happens to be one of the assistants to the President.
Love, Elder Nelson
