The Third Time is NOT the Charm

Hey, all you people! Hey, all you people! Hey, all you people, won't you listen to me! I just had this sandwich, it was no ordinary sandwich. It was a sandwich with jelly fish jelly!!

     Ok.. Ok... Maybe I didn't have one of those sandwiches.... But I am sure that if Krabby Patties were real and jelly fish made jelly, I would undoubtedly try one. On these serious side of things, we had a really busy filled week. :) haha! So let's start with the beginning of the week!

     First off, Happy Birthday Dad!!! I love you!!

     Tuesday. So our mission has been working on our driving, so the church gave us some excellent tools to keep us driving safe. They are called a TIWI. Haha! It will talk to you if you are speeding or are driving aggressively. I have been humbled over the past week knowing that I always have someone telling me that I am not the best driver in the world. With in the first 5-10 minutes of driving I was told to "check your speed" twice. Apparently, the flow of traffic in VA is a lot faster than the speed limit. Goodness gracious are drivers here super aggressive here! Haha you don't really notice a change in your driving habits until the TIWI kicks in. :)

     Thursday was a pretty busy day, we had back to back appointments all day long. You better believe we felt like awesome missionaries. The best part about it was that we were able to do a lot of them on foot! The weather has been warming up and the humidity has been climbing as well which causes much sweating! Huzzah for staying fit!

     Saturday is the cause for the title. Lemme splain... I finally was able to accomplish one of my goals for my mission. Baptize a Ghanaian with whom I spoke twi with about the gospel! CHECK!!! Turns out hat Ghanaians either don't like water or are super buoyant because if they don't go all the way under the first time, the phrase goes, "the third times the charm." So we tried again only to prove that the third time might work. It was either a toe or her hair, but plug for the font didn't work properly so I had little water to use.... Anyways, in total, 7. Not one time but one times seven times. Heh.... Thankfully she didn't back out after the fifth try.  

     Yup! Definitely an adventure this week! Tune in next week to read, Mission Work: Attack of the TIWI's. Don't forget about its sequel, The TIWI Strikes Back.

Love you all!!
