Writing on this blog every week reminds me of when I would
email home every week when I was on my mission. Like those mission emails, some
weeks you have SO much to write about. And other weeks, like this one, there is
not much to say.
I didn’t do any traveling this weekend because I had a lot
of school work to catch up on. I practiced my drums, wrote two papers, and got
caught up on some sleep!
On Saturday morning I went to the Adenta Stake Primary Music
Festival. All of the primary groups in the stake came together for a morning of
musical sharing. All 9 wards/branches sang the SAME two songs. By the end of
the event, I was more than ready to not hear “Nephi’s Courage” for a while
haha. Although I love being involved with the primary, I think that I am a
little timid around the children. According to the practices here in Ghana, any
adult has the right/responsibility for the care and discipline of a child. I
think that it just makes me a little nervous to pick up a child who I don’t know
or to take a child out of the classroom when they are misbehaving. Hopefully I
will be able to feel more comfortable as I spend more time with them.
Today (Sunday) we had our own version of General Conference.
Because the churches here do not receive the conference broadcast when it
occurs in October, the members here wait for the DVDs to arrive and then they
watch two of the sessions on the first Sunday in November at the church building. It was really nice
to spend the day watching the conference sessions. It made me a little homesick
for our “traditional” conference weekend of coming home from school to spend
time with the family. But there is always next conference!
The last piece of news that I have to share with you… I will
be spending 5 days in London on my way home from Ghana! My mom has worked
really hard to call the airlines and rearrange my plane ticket to leave Accra
to London on December 16th and then still catch my flight home from
London to the USA on December 21st! I will be traveling with my
friends Kristen and Annie and we will get a chance to tour around London for a
few days! I was really sad when I did not get to spend time in London on my way
to Ghana, especially because the Olympics were happening at the time… But now I
get to go on my way home! I am already preparing myself to go from 80+ degree
weather to the lovely England winter haha.
The time I am spending here is going by so quickly. I hope that everyone is doing well and is
having a wonderful week!
