Well another week and April is over. So how am I? Well...things could be better. Why? Well, today I am going to start with a story. This story is like the story of Noah in the Old Testament. We had a flood in our apartment. And well...that part isn't the problem. In fact, it was easy to clean up. The problem, almost all of my adapters and plugins and chargers are now ruined. 
Thankfully the one that didn't get destroyed is my camera charger. (Thank goodness) But my I-pod and speaker ones are no longer working. So now I can't listen to music until I find/get new equipment. I wasn't the only one affected. Elder Tribe lost all of his equipment, including his hair clippers. So now we have no way to get a haircut, (unless we want to travel to Tema) but it's ok because everyone decided to get '3s' and I got a 2. So I have super short hair and will not get a haircut until my parents send my clippers.
We have no water...wait what...no water!!!
Because of the flood they turned off the pump until we can get the lead fixed, so water pressure is so low that the filter takes forever to run. So we have water, but not good water.
Other then that things are busy here. Elder Russell (Zone Leader) and Elder Tribe are going to a part of our area that we don't go to (because it's a hour tro tro ride there) to see if a unit and missionaries could be sent there. Next transfer we will receive 17 Missionaries and only 8 are going home. The Transfer after that we will gain 27 missionaries and will be sending 0 home. A lot of missionaries in the next few months. So new areas have to be opened and of course, the Mission will be splitting. I do not know where I will end up, but now I hope I stay in Tema Zone. It's the biggest zone in the whole mission and is the fastest growing. I like the Zone Leaders here, and they all know people I know!
Today we are having a Zone Activity so I am going to be heading there soon. We are getting T-shirts that I helped design, I've seen them and want to tell some funny things about them. We put all missionaries names on the back of the T-shirt, and there are some sisters as well on it. Funny part, they put Elder instead of Sister for one of the Sisters names, they misspelled some of the names, (including mine) and just did a lot of funny stuff like that. So excited to get it today.
Yesterday wasn't Fast Sunday for us. Instead we watched General Conference and it was nice to see the Prophet instead of just hearing him. It was awesome. Once again, the congregation was in shock when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sang. (I don't know why I bet they've heard them before) but it was awesome to listen to them sing. Elder Ballard's grandson is in Ghana serving so he was super excited to see his grandpa.
I don't think I have anything else to share. If anyone wants to send me a new ipod cord or i home or music, (send me music on sd cards!) I have a lot but could always get more.
Thanks for the Emails and Letters, feel free to write or email and I will email you back asap. Family First.
Love you all! Thanks again.
Love,
Elder Bowden.
