After two years of service, Elder Roberts left for Abroche (America) this morning at 5 AM! Wow... felt a little bit of jealousy... but I was happy for him.
One crazy experience. We were teaching a lesson and we started to see nsuba (rain) small small. So we quickly closed the lesson ad started running to the chapel. As we were running the rain started to hit. Pssshshshshshshshhshs so I yelled as we were running, come on Jones (small boy translator that was with us) run!!! We gotta go we gotta go! I started yelling at the people, "nsuba nsuba! it’s gonna rain (already raining hahahahahhahahahah)" it was hilarious. So we get to the chapel and it is just coming down and then something crazy happened, the sky turned orange. Like completely... sign of the second coming? Maybe. But it was crazy. I took pics and I’ll send them next week. So, yeah, that was crazy.
Theres is this food called kenke. its way good. Its is like a corn stalk wrap when you buy it and you open it up and its like baanku kinda. Like it’s hard to describe. But you grab like a ball and mold it in your hand like Playdough. Then dip in pepper salsa kinda of stuff (called pepe). Then you swallow whole the ball. It’s so yummy haha. Then you get a big smoked fish wth it. It’s awesome. So good haha probably because I’ve been n Ghana for too long.... cant’ remember normal food.
We went out contacting (looking for people to teach) and we met this woman named R. We told her about Joseph Smith. Then she opened up to us about how here husband struggles with some addictions and that she had stopped praying because she hadn’t seen him change after many prayers. We talked to her about faith and what it can and can’t do (thanks President Uchtdorf) and encouraged her to begin praying again and pressing forward with a hope that one day he would change. She was all of the sudden very happy but before looking very sad. We saw her again and gave her a Book of Mormon and told her if she read this book she would find peace in her life and help with her problems. It was really cool. She is leaving back to Mamobi (in Accra) but she will be back in a month. That is the AP's area so I feel confident in giving them the referral. So yeah that was cool. We are lead to those who need us if we listen and there are always those who need us.
Love,
Elder Janda

FROM DAD: The son of some of our close friends went to Ghana for a study abroad humanitarian expedition this summer. We were able to send a fairly large package with him to give to Max. He was able to drop the package off at the mission office. This is a picture of our friend Cody with a few of the office missionaries.
