Elder Aidan Holyoak: Jorts and Burger King 🤴

This week we had Burger King, I bought Jorts, and we had a celestial FM.

Last Monday we didn't have anything planned for P day and we were pretty tired anyways so we were just planning on hanging out at the apartment. Things changed when Elder Skasim found a place to buy a knee brace. He has had knee problems his whole life, I promise its not just because we trek him. The place with the knee brace happens to be across the street from the only Burger King in our mission. Of course we went and it was delicious. After we finished the manager gave us coupons, but I don't know if I'll ever be back there again.

We had MLC but there wasn't anything too crazy that we talked about. I always love going though, it's nice to see some mission friends and get free lunch. Within the week we were at a members' clothes shop and I spotted some Jorts. She sold them to me for 7 cedis. That's 7 cents for jean shorts, I'm not gonna pass that deal up. Another funny thing that happened this week was during a lesson. We were teaching the restoration and talking about Joseph Smith when some guy nearby started shouting. We looked over and his friend was piercing his ears. It was funny because they kept trying and it wasn't working. It ended up being a good lesson though.

The last and probably craziest thing this week was meeting up with our friend Shyne. Shyne is friends with one of the best ward members back home. Shout out to Scott Cragun. Shyne is a Ghanaian that went to BYU with Scott a while back. We met up and he suggested that we should go out for dinner. We said yes and the place he suggested was just outside the mission so we had to get approval from President. The place is a hotel called Alisa and the dinner was a buffet. Hands down the nicest place I've been in Ghana. They had Ghanaian food and some other random dishes. I filled my plate with baked potatoes, tuna salad, kelewele, jollof rice, and washed it all down with some sobolo. It was a great night and a lot of fun talking to him about his experience in Provo Utah.

Scripture of the Week

Alma 60:13 - "For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that his justice and judgment may come upon the wicked; therefore ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; but behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God."

Congratulations to Britt and Caitlin. They're married now . Have a good week!
