The Reason(s) You Should Change Your Water Filter

Hello everyone!

We had another great week this week, although it didn't turn out quite like we planned. The plan was to get out of quarantine and to proselyte but on Tuesday we all started to get sick. We all had stomach issues and Elder Sandoval told us it was the same thing he had in Mexico. He found out that it was because of the water in Mexico, so we checked our water filter and let's just say it was not clean. It was a nice greenish brown. I'll attach a picture of it so you guys can see. We assumed that that was the problem and replaced the filter and went on our way. Some of us got better but Elder Sandoval and I had to go to the hospital to get tested to be safe. Keep in mind I hate the hospitals out here. It was another day of waiting and when I was finally able to see the doctor they tried to get me to take a bunch of tests including a chest xray and I knew they were just trying to get the white guy to pay money haha. So I said I didn't need any of that and that I would just do the labs. They finally said okay to me just getting the labs done so it was time for me to get my blood drawn. I had a bad experience when I first got to Ghana getting my blood taken so I wasn't looking forward to it. I got into the lab and again knew that this was not going to be a pleasant experience based off of what I saw. The woman tried to draw my blood and missed my vein 3 times, she was going to try a 4th time but I told her to stop haha. I asked if they could just get it from somewhere else and she said she was able to take it from my hand so she painfully took it from my hand. I waited for another hour to get my results and it came back to tell me that there was nothing wrong with me. It didnt really make sense because Elder Sandoval went through the same process and they told him that he had malaria of all things. They admitted him and he had to stay at the hospital all week. I just went home and went back to missionary life. We proselyted a bit, and just kinda chilled while I recovered. I am doing good now and am looking forward to this week as it is the last week of the transfer

We combined with Kwamo 1 for Church on Sunday because the chief of the area wanted to have a meeting with some church leaders so we had to be done with church by 12. Church was good, we had 12 investigators there and 7 of which just showed up and we met for the first time. One of them was a girl named Priscilla. She is 20 years old and she just finished school. Her siblings have been baptized but she has not as she was at school. We will meet her this week and start to prepare her for baptism. 

Kendra was sick so we had to push her and her siblings baptism till this coming Sunday. We will try to add Maa Mary and Priscilla to that service as well. It will be a nice way to end the transfer.

Overall it was a good week! We are still pushing along in the work with whatever comes our way. We will see this Saturday what happens with transfer news but I'll let you guys know what happens in my next email. Thank you all for the love and support it means a lot. I love you all and hope you have a great week this week!

Love Elder Morgan.
