I got a hair cut

Hey guys.

   I didn't really realize everyone was so interested with my hair.  But yes, I got a hair cut.  I think I figured out how to fix my clippers.  I just need to realign my blades.  Getting a haircut every two weeks would be kind of ridiculous.  It has been a week and my hair hasn't changed.  Once a month or once a transfer would be better.  Thick hair didn't have anything to do with it, just the blades weren't moving enough.  (I think we all gave him a bad time about his shaggy hair in our letters to him.)

   I guess our lease doesn't end until June.  Some of the members have found some places that would work but they need Cooper, the guy in charge of missionary apartments to approve it.  So I don't know when we will move.

   This week was slow.  Contacting wasn't easy this week.  We only found a couple new people but couldn't give most of them a baptism date.  Some were going back to school, one was a daughter of a pastor, and some just wouldn't accept at the time.  Some people will never promise anything, because they don't want to let you down, but then they will never do anything because they never committed to it.  It is not easy.  We did get a referral of a guy that could progress, so we will be trying to work with him.  Mark is still cool.  He hasn't started filming his movie yet so he will be here for a while.  He is from Accra.  We were able to teach him about the Book of Mormon this week.

   On Wednesday, we will be having a mission tour, where a General Authority (in this case, Elder Dubbi, a Seventy and Second Counselor in the West Africa area presidency) will come and talk to a couple zones at a time.  On Wednesday, us and Obuasi zone will meet.  I am looking forward to it, seeing Elder Dubbi and Obuasi elders.

   I hope that all is going well back home.  Thanks for the voltage info.  Our power was out and so was our water this morning. So the 4 of us had to pull water from the tank outside and take bucket showers today before going out.  It is said that you haven't served a mission until you have taken a bucket shower.  I can say that I have been serving well.

No packages yet. I will do my best to get Sister Holmes her movies.

Love you all.
