A really exciting week!

Today is Veteran's Day so Lindy and Elise were home from school and able to speak with Conner.  He was on a "Trotro" or bus going to the Internet cafe.  They report each week to their mission president via email.  Conner said he can't decide if the people of Ghana are the best drivers in the World or the worst!  He said the Trotro is a 12 passenger van that has been stripped down and has bench seats put it in so 15 people can squeeze in.  He said there are no seatbelts and children sit on laps.  He said at first it made him nervous as vehicles drive inches apart but now it just seems normal to him.  
Conner and his companion went with some other missionaries and cooked a pig today.  He said meat is expensive to buy in Ghana so it is a treat.  Some of the Tongan missionaries are leaving so Conner said this might be the last time they do this for awhile.  He often cooks eggs and eats bread as it is only $1.00 a loaf.  
Conner sounded happy and upbeat.  He said things have been going well.  

Below is this weeks email:

I have only a short time to email this weeks I apologize for any grammar mistakes.  We have not received transfer new yet, so I will let everyone know who my companion is next week.  We did receive some great news though, we are becoming a technology mission.  We should get smart phones in the next few months.  It will make teaching really nice.  We can start using videos and contacting will become much easier.  I am super excited for that.  As far as the work is going, we have had a few setbacks but we are making progress.  Last week we taught 14 new people! I found myself teaching five people at a time.  I could feel the Spirit help me as I answered the questions of those susceptible, and they eventually opened up and agreed to read the Book of Mormon.  We will see what happens, but I have done my part so far.  I really felt good this last week.  I as going to send pictures but I ran out of time.  We had a massive lightning storm last night and we are having random blackouts more than usual.  I hope everything back home is going well.
