From June 6, 2011: Jonathan Addo Going to the Temple (Sweet!); SISTER Shaves Face Before Mission hmmm; Handing Out Over 100 Pamphlets and 20 Book of Mormons

From June 6, 2011:
Well on Monday I got a haircut. The only reason I am mentioning this that it wasn't a normal haircut. Whenever I go and specify what I desire from the barber he always nods his head and it is only after he starts cutting that I realize that he was only pretending to understand the English and what I asked for. This barber was skilled so I will go back to him to take the sides down in two weeks, but anyway, when he finished with the clippers he then took a razor blade and held it up to a comb to even the hair out. It was an interesting experience. Durring the day I received a call from a man that I baptized named Johnathan Addo. He called me to let me know that he received the Melchizedek Priestood and will be going to the temple for the first time. What really stood out to me from the conversation is that Johnathan thanked me for getting him on the path. 
  On Tuesday we went to a sister missionary having her farewell before she went to her mission in Nigeria. It brought back memories of my own farewell. What I realized was that the sister had shaved her face for the event-Now that I have your attention I'll tell the full story. The Africans seems to have more testosterone in their body because there are many women here with a female version of a beard and some chest hair. This particular sister was particularly hairy and it was noticeable when she shaved. Now the best part about this story is that Elder Titus, a Nigerian told me that before his mission he used to like the hair because he enjoyed stroking it like fur. 
 Friday our zone had interviews with president Smith. It was probably the last time I will see him before he goes home at the end of the month and the new mission president comes. On the way back to our area we went into an area in the city called circle. While we were looking for a tro tro to take us back we were able to walk around handing out over 100 pamphlets and 20 Book Of Mormons to people we passed. It was a lot of fun. 
  Sunday the apartment went to eat at an investigators house and Elder Mutuku from Kenya told us about how the country is and how giraffes walk through the roads there and how the people would encounter all of the stereotypical African animals as a normal occurrence. Kenya sounds so cool.
