Alright alright, another week here in Bawjiase. This week wasn't too crazy but my companion did kill a bird. I'll give a little back story first. In my companion's last area they had a bunch of rats running around in and near their apartment. All of the missionaries got fed up with it and they all bought their own slingshots. He told me that it pretty much solved their rat problem. They were also a lot of crows in the area and they were killing people's chickens. Whenever they were bored they would just shoot crows out of trees and he got pretty good at it. Now bring it back to this week when my companion got bored again... I was just sitting in bed reading a book when he ran into my room holding a dead bird. Well, we thought it was dead. He went to show all of the other missionaries and the bird started freaking out and trying to get away. We put it in a box because we didn't know what else to do with it. We tried to find a way to save the bird but he died shortly afterward. We held a funeral for him and even gave him a full name. I didn't take any pictures out of respect for the bird. 
<- Roughly what he looked like.

The rest of the week was just normal missionary work. It's been getting really hot here. I have to carry around a handkerchief just to wipe the sweat off my forehead. I've been drinking a lot of water too because I don't want to have a heat stroke.
Fun Fact - Being in a building without AC or a fan is hotter than just being outside. A lot hotter! Our power has been going out a lot lately so sometimes we have the privilege of sleeping without a fan at night. Nice and Toasty...
We also walked some of the kids we have been teaching to church this Sunday. I've kinda just realized no matter how many times someone promises you they are going to come to church, they don't come. So we just have to bring them to church ourselves. The kids live pretty far away so it's a long walk. One of them is in primary and the other four are youth. My favorite is the 8-year-old kid named Godson. He's a future apostle for sure.
That's my whole week! I hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving in America with all of the food and football.
