Dear Mom,
Life out here is very camping like. My diet consists of
mostly ramen, bread, eggs, rice, and chicken. We cook on a gas lit stove
because the electricity is unreliable. It goes in and out. Every day
there is a thunderstorm. we do our laundry every Monday. A sister from our branch comes and hand-washes all our clothes for 10
cedis.
The church is very nice here. It is actually a very nice building with
open hallways and class rooms. The talks are all in Twi, so I can't
understand them. Oh well, I still feel the spirit. Sunday was our district conference and President and Sister Hill came. All us elders sang Press forward Saints then a verse in Twi.
The confirmation is this Sunday and I will do it. Besides that not much else is going on.
No one got transferred so I'm with everyone for at least 8 more weeks.
Love you Mom soo much and I will find a way to send pictures.
Love, Elder Keddington
It's nice to finally get more information from him about the way he is living. I need to figure out how much 10 cedis is in American currency. My kids are getting off way too easy! ;) We sure love this boy!
Thanks for sharing, my Dear M-M, (Missionary Mom)
ReplyDeleteSuch tender times... I remember. My heart, my prayers are so with you - all of you. We send the only young people in all the earth who choose to give so much! And the only answer for that is "because it's true - " like it or not.. It just is and it just keeps rolling - . What a gift to share...
A "perfect mildness" is the venue and YOUR Son does that so well! There is much Power in such a rare gift of truly humble service! - & so much Joy in the journey!
Love you to pieces!
Just me,
Shirl
