Maadwo! Hope all is well in Tejas, things are pretty cool in Sunyani. We have had a pretty quiet P-Day today. I am really happy for quiet P-Days because those were non-existent in Kumasi! It’s nice to just have a day to rest and not worry about anything, just get ready for the week ahead. We were going to go to Kumasi today, we get to go for P-Day once every three months to have an activity with everybody there, but me and Elder Mapanje just wanted to stay back, rest, and get ready for the week ahead. As always it was a crazy week so we needed a rest! And going to Kumasi is the opposite of rest. That place... it is something! So today was spent cleaning, washing, and sleeping a little bit. It’s weird how relaxing cleaning can be now.... and to see everything looking nice and organized makes me really happy... guess I am growing up. As for last week, it was cool. A few moments where I wished that my calling to help the church grow was to just pull a handcart a few hundred miles into the desert and then have lots of kids, but as always, by Sunday night, everything was A-OK. Still not a lot of people to teach, so days are a wee bit long, but we are trying our best. We are getting better at teaching together, and members are really excited about the work, so things are sure to pick up quick. Plus, we do have a few solid people like Femi, who came to church on Sunday and is getting really involved. Whenever I feel a little down about not having tons of people to teach, I think back to my first few months in Kwamo, when we had no one! Not one!! Haha, so my faith is definitely strong in the aspect of that when you do everything you can do, the Lord helps you find people like Andrew and Cosmos and Eric and Anarfi and Mensah and the rest. So, we shall continue pressing forward! Tuesday night we had a good lesson with Femi. We are into the Plan of Salvation now, he started loving it from the start. Started with the Pre-Mortal existence and he was asking really good questions and was understanding really well. We had another good lesson with him Friday, he had really good questions about life after death, so we spent a while talking about that. I am definitely enjoying myself here, all of the new opportunities and experiences are teaching me so much. The places and people I have been around on my mission have been exactly what I need to become what I need to become, and Sunyani definitely isn't any different. Moree was hard, but you could find people to teach and there was a lot of members. Kwamo was a whole new ball game, really hard to find people to teach. Now Sunyani is a whole new thing. I thought it would be a lot like Kwamo, but it is proving to be a whole nother animal. Our branch president has been a member for 8 months! And our first counselor for 3! We get asked questions every day about how to run the branch... and um... I am 20 years old and have had callings such as Deacon's quorum president and Sacrament pianist. But… luckily I have seen a lot of things growing up, so I can offer a little bit of help. Elder Mapanje was the ward clerk in his branch in Zimbabwe before coming, so he gives a lot better input than me. I just try my best! We taught the 3rd hour of church yesterday. Trying to help our little branch understand a branch mission plan. We tried to help them see how we could get the number goal into names so we can find people to accomplish the goal. We explained a little bit about the auxilliaries working to find referrals from specific members. Hopefully understanding how prayer will help them, will let them think of future leaders and families that will help the church to continue the strong foundation that is being built here! Prayer is definitely the key in anything! Well guys, life is great here. Never easy, but it is great. You guys help me so much, when it’s been a tough week, everything is fine after emailing, thanks so much for everything. I got an email from Elder Nathan's parents, pretty sweet to hear from them. Elder Nathan seems to be doing really well in Kwamo. So... keep doing the great things you are doing and I will do my best too! As I always say, my testimony is growing every day and I am learning so much day by day, little by little. Having to figure things out for myself is letting me become a lot better in solving problems and becoming more effective in general. I am very very thankful for the experiences I have been given, since I was just a small small boy, that have made me who I am today and allowing me to become a little better. Even when the experience seem absolutely terrible when you are growing through them! It’s always hard to keep the eternal perspective, but I think I am getting better at that too :) I love you guys!!! Love, Elder Brown

Don't worry, I am ok! Haha, sorry for the late email. Yesterday we had a conference down in Kumasi, so today is our P-Day. The conference yesterday was pretty cool. Another Uruguayan General Authority came to visit us, Elder Eduardo Gaverret of the Seventy. It was an interesting meeting... he gave good instructions. The main thing we talked about was goals. Elder Gavarret made it clear that we need to have goals for our companionships, districts, zones, and the whole mission. The main thing I learned this past week is communication... getting used to a new companion. Elder Mapanje mentioned to Femi after our lesson that he had completed university before coming on mission, which I thought was pretty cool. Later that night I asked him about it and he said yep, he had finished Uni before coming with degrees in History and Philosophy. Pretty legit. Then I asked him what he wants to do after and he said he wants to get a Masters in International Relations! So of course that started some good conversation, which lasted the rest of the evening. He has great goals in life. It will be cool to see where he goes, he wants to be a diplomat or work at the UN. As for teaching, last week was very successful. Elder Mapanje and I have very different teaching styles but we are blending them into quite the harmony of abilities and skills. Our lessons with Femi, with Barnabas and Felicia, with the recent converts, and with some new people we contacted were really good. We still need more sweet investigators, but of course those come as you work hard and the Lord prepares people for you. Looking back at my first few weeks in Kwamo.... man I had NO hope!!! Haha, but things turned out, well, amazingly. So I have great faith the same will be true here. We will be doing a lot more contacting. So, I love you guys a ton. I am learning so much out here. I feel like every day is the first day of my mission. In Abraham 2 verse something it says that 'eternity was our rock and our salvation while we traveled in the wilderness'. That’s what I feel like out here, just traveling in the wilderness, things are happening every second that are teaching me about every little thing I need to know. Time is just such a weird concept on mission, it’s weird to think anything else is going on throughout the world! Just focusing on yourself, your companion, your missionaries, and your investigators causes you to understand things a lot better. So anyway, you guys are awesome, thanks for everything, and stay strong! The Church is true, God loves us, and Jesus is most definitely in charge. Love you guys!!!!! Elder Brown

Morning morning, fine morning. How is life?! Good? Good. Life is pretty good in... Kwamo. I mean Sunyani. Man it’s still weird I am not there! But in all honesty, it’s not. Haha, if that makes sense. Anyway, the week was cool. Transfer weeks seem like the absolute longest weeks of human existence, but it was cool. Wednesday, Eric came to pick me up to take me to the metro mass station, pretty cool to have your recent convert drive you to the bus station when you are transferred. Sammy tagged along too, I love that kid. He wanted to learn how to play the keyboard, but obviously he has no one to teach him now. I found him a book that you can teach yourself with, and I gave that to him the day before I left. He started crying when I gave it to him... it was tough! Leaving Kwamo was tough. Basically spent Sunday to Tuesday visiting people, saying good bye, and was still able to teach some good lessons. Then woke up early Wednesday, caught the earliest bus to Sunyani, and was there by 11. Elder Mapanje was there to pick me up at the station. He is a sweet guy, he is from Zimbabwe and has been in Sunyani for like 10 months now. I am replacing Elder Russell (Seattle), they had been companions for 10 months. Wowzers. It is weird having a companion that is not new. For 7 months I have been training. I just want to do everything I want to do... but they have been doing things a certain way, and I just can't come in and change things. SO it’s cool learning new things. We ride bikes. A LOT. Which I have never done on mission before. I like walking. Sunyani (pronounced "soon" as in the very near future - "yani" as in one of the greatest musicians of our time) is a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet town. MUCH different from Kumasi. It is very quiet, very relaxed. Still a lot of people. Just not very congested. There are no trotros, only taxis. It is the cleanest city in Ghana! Our area is called Nkwabeng. We live in Penkwase, and have to ride bikes every day to our area. Last week, Pres Shulz came up here and organized all of the groups into branches, so that is nice. Almost everyone has been baptized since last year September. And we had 46 people at church on Sunday. Elder Russell and Elder Mapanje have done some great work, I am excited to keep it up. Man there is just so much to write about! Our teaching pool isn't as big as it should be right now, so we have got some work to do. But we at least have one sweet investigator, Femi. He is from NIgeria, here on business. He is a referral from Hassan, and came to church on Sunday. We have taught him about half of lesson 1, and we are going to teach him again tonight. Also two families. The recent converts here are pretty good about giving referrals, it’s just that there aren't many members!! Haha. So I will probably have a lot of contacting ahead of me again. The church is so young in Sunyani it’s crazy. So it’s pretty cool to be in a new place again, see how it grows. One of their recent converts is named Al-Sadat. He is half Egyptian, half Ghanaian. Well, like I said, there are a billion things I could write about, but as always... time is short. Long story short, transfers are tough, but things are cool. The missionaries are awesome up here, very obedient, very hard working. I get to go to Cape Coast tomorrow for zone leader council. I will be on a bus ALL DAY tomorrow. Oh well.. haha. Go Rangers! And congrats again to Hayden! Love you guys, -Elder Brown Send my regards to everybody in D-Town!!!!

Good to hear from everybody as always. Sometimes you just get so wrapped up in everything out here, you wonder if there is anything else going on…And so the awesome emails always keep me sane :) Welp.... I am off. Wednesday I leave Kwamo. President called Saturday night, I am going up to Sunyani to be with Elder Mapanje, we wil be the zone leaders up there. I am pretty excited to go up there. Sunyani is going to be an awesome place, everybody that has served there has loved it. It’s funny though, with the transfer, all I wanted to do was serve in a ward or branch...and in Sunyani.... all of the units are groups. 4 units, all mission groups - not even branches yet. About 80 total members in all of Sunyani. The missionaries conduct Sacrament meeting, and the zone leaders, along with the couple missionaries that are there, are the ones in charge of training the future leaders of the groups. So anyway, I am excited for it. It will be tough leaving Kwamo. Yesterday was tough. But, it’s all going to be sweet! The last week in Kwamo was awesome, we saw some great success. I had been worried about leaving Elder Nathan with a little bit of a thin teaching pool, the hardest thing when you are training (.... I had 0 investigators when I started with Elder Timothy....) so we wanted to be able to fill the teaching pool with a lot of serious people so he could teach the new guy well. And you don't just wake up one morning and say "I am going to find serious investigators" and they come. Haha. But, as I have learned before, when you commit to do something the Lord has said, and you put your trust in him by doing every little thing he has asked you, he provides. Saturday we taught a guy named Kwabena. He had come to church a few times with his friend, who we have been teaching, but we had never been able to pin him down to teach him. Saturday we had an awesome lesson with him, and at the end of the first lesson, he committed to be baptized 15 October. The night before, we taught a guy for the first time who me and Elder Thompson had met in Ejisu while we were together on Wednesday. He said that he is a "seeker" - he wants to find the truth. It was sweet because we met him on Wednesday morning, and invited him to mid-week (an activity all of the wards/branches... groups ;) do here - basically like mutual for the whole ward) that night. We didn't know it actually wasn't happening bc Bro. Timothy was out of town, but he showed up at 7 for it, and no one else was there. He called us and was like "I am at your church, no one is here". So obviously he is very serious! We taught him Friday and he came to church with his girlfriend on Sunday!!!! Pretty awesome!!! I was worried that we might have a thin teaching pool, but I leave Kwamo with 9 people who came to church yesterday for Elder Nathan, a dozen progressing investigators, and 8 investigators with baptismal dates. So I guess that’s pretty deep. Well, time is finished. A lot of more awesome stuff from the week, but I gotta get going. I love you guys so much. Things are great here... sometimes I have to laugh about the struggles I have... because the people I have taught here, everything has happened has been so amazing. So I am excited to go see that happen in another place. I love you all!! -Elder Brown

September 26, 2011

Bummer. Friday night we were teaching... The phone starts vibrating in my pocket and without looking my first thought was "Its president.... transfers". I look down at the phone, and I was correct I saw "Pres Shulz" on the caller id. So we call him back at the end of the lesson, and... It he tells Elder Nathan that he is going to be training a new missionary next transfer (a week from this coming Wednesday). So... it looks like my days in Kwamo are few. Bummer. How can I leave this place? In all honestly... this was why I came on a mission. So, I will do my best getting psyched up to go to a new place, with a new comp, doing a new thing. Just don't know where I am going yet. The reason we found out so early is because they are going to be having a special training meeting for all the trainers in Cape Coast on Wednesday. So Elder Nathan gets to shoot down to Cape Coast tomorrow morning, I will be with Elder Thompson, from Orem. He is going home next week, so it will be cool to spend a couple of days with a seasoned vet, learn some stuff from him. Heck I haven't been with a guy older than me on mission for like 10 months. Crazy. So this week will be pretty tough. Hopefully I can just go to work, make sure Elder Nathan has plenty of people to teach, and teach him a few more things so he can be prepared to train this early in his mission. Training after 3 months? Wowzers. He is in for something else :) So anyway.... The work in Kwamo is going on well. We have a lot of investigators right now. They love what we teach... we’re just working on commitment. So I decided to study ch. 11 in Preach My Gospel (Help people make and keep commitments) and I can already see a difference in our investigators' progress. Henry kept both of his commitments the rest of the week (still didn't come to church... but next fo sho :). A lot of our new investigators realized we were serious in teaching from the get go because we were doing little things like asking them to write down their commitment so they don't forget, and informing them that we would like to come to see them daily to make sure they are keeping their commitments. Which... is what Preach My Gospel was trying to tell me to do for the past... well you know how long. So anyway, Preach My Gospel is pretty incredible and every missionary needs to actually read it. And read it before they come on a mission (Hayden). Sweetest thing from the week: We were able to teach the family we’re working with on Tuesday - we are finally really really preparing for her baptism - and had a good lesson. We scheduled another appointment for Thursday, but that fell through. But it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We knew that because we had not been able to teach her the night before church, it would be a true test to see if she would come to church with no one's encouragement, completely on her own accord (Her husband was out of town, and her phone was off, so we couldn't even call to make another appointment or remind her about church or anything). After Elder Nathan and I went through our plans for the day before church started, we prayed that she would be able to come to church with the kids, on her own, without any encouragement from anyone. She was a little late... but she came, all by herself, with her kids along with her. It was a perfect day at church too, investigators class was perfect. She had Lizzy, our recent convert, sitting next to her, then another sister also in the class helping out, and the class was taught by Daniel (just baptized 22 Aug). The father will be out of town this week, so we are going to move the baptism to 8 October - who knows where I will be :( So anyway, everything works out the way it should, and it shows that she will be able to stay active and progress in the gospel. Welp, sorry it’s a bit shorter today, time is short. We played dodgeball and touch football - as in REAL football :) - today. It was way fun. Everything is awesome! You can make a guess about where I might be going next week... You guys are the best, I love you so much! Good luck in everything you are doing and thanks for everything you are doing!!!!!! Love ya, Elder Brown

September 19, 2011

Morning! Just a good day out in Kumasi, no craziness with transportation, because we decided not to go into to town today, nothing really to do there. We took a quick trip to Asokwa to pick up our subsistence, but now we are just back doing the normal things in Kwamo. Actually out at Ejisu right now, it’s the biggest town in our area, about 25 pesewas on a tro tro to the east down the Accra road. It’s the only place with an internet cafe in our area. Anyway, this might have been the fastest week of my mission. They are really just flying by now, it’s crazy. I am doing my best just to figure about time and just go to work every day. I honestly have to think about how long I have been out here if someone asks me. I always just say ".... me ba Ghana dada dodo.". Haha, meaning, I have been in Ghana for too long. But of course it hasn't been too long at all! Things are going great in Kwamo. It’s weird to have been in my first two areas for so long. I honestly feel like I have talked to everybody in Kwamo, so finding new investigators is tough. I would guestimate that Kwamo has no more than 3,000 people in it. There are some other villages around yeah, but it’s hard to get out there, so we normally stay in Kwamo. Kwamo is small. Like... really small. Kwamo itself would be like, a little bit bigger than Oaks of Montecito. Probably about the size of Forrestridge or something. Often when something goes wrong... go find Elder Brown!!!. Like yesterday, I was teaching the youth Sunday School class. As I was teaching, a sister bursts open the door, "Elder Brown! Bra bra!!! Nyimpa bi se yare paa! Bra bra bra!!!" A girl was feeling sick and had gone to another room to get some space. She was just sitting there, shaking, obviously very sick, and no one knew what to do... so they call Akwasi Poku... aka Elder Brown. They wanted her to go to the hospital, but she didn't want to go. Apparently they thought I could talk her into going.... I had no idea what to do either... she was shaking so much, I was just like.. ummm, is it malaria? No idea what to do or say haha. Then I just had someone bring some pain pills, and then me and Elder Nathan gave her a blessing. It helped her out... but then she threw up. Eventually someone took her to the hospital, and I think she is ok. It’s cool to have such a big effect on the people here. As for proselyting, it went on well this week. We have a ton of investigators right now. We do a lot of walking because people always fail their appointments. And like I said, I feel like I have talked to everyone in Kwamo, so going out contacting is not as productive as it used to be. We continued our farming this week. My hands are torn up. I will send you a sweet pic next week, I look like a real man ;) Haha. Just call me Farmer Brown. Our farmer friend/investigator is keeping me going. As long as I can always have one sweet investigator, things are ok. He is the next Eric. In fact, we took Eric to teach him with us yesterday, they live really close to each other. He has progressed so far. His baptism is set for 1 October, and he is super excited for it. Taught him about tithing last night, he is set to do some great things! His wife doesn't speak English, and since we can't really teach in Twi, it makes it difficult to make her feel comfortable with learning from us... but I have faith it will work out! I will just have to be more dedicated in progressing to be able to teach in Twi. Ennye easy koraaaaaaaaaa! But I will do it :) His son comes to church with him though. He is 11, and is making friends with the young men, already excited to be able to pass the Sacrament and such. Told us the other day that he wants to be a missionary one day, I am sure it will happen, he is a serious kid. So this investigator is awesome, and is my golden guy right now. Josephine is doing well too. She is just a veryyyyyyyyyy busy mom. Her husband is so busy with his business that she is always all over the place doing things for him, for the kids, and a lot of other stuff. She is still committed for her baptism, I am just hoping we can pin the family down enough to be able to teach her everything. The testimony is mos def there, but we haven't been able to teach any of the commandments yet. So this family will be our focus for the rest of the transfer. It will take some work, we will probably have to be a little bit of a nuisance, but it needs to happen. The Zolls are doing well to help them learn the ins and outs of being a busy business man and family, and being able to use the Gospel to the fullest. We will have to work hard, but I am sure she will be able to be baptized on 1 Oct. We will be doing our best! Elder McFarland and Elder Larsen had a baptism on Saturday, always nice to help out with that. We had three investigators come to see it. The members are taking the ward mission plan super seriously, it’s pretty tight. Guess what the goal they set for the rest of the year is.... 23. Wowzers! Going for the big 2-3, inspired by MJ I guess. So that means that we have to baptize 23 people before 1 Jan. That’s a lot. But, if the members are serious, why not?! So now we gotta revamp the teaching pool. Elder Nathan is doing really well, the group is doing well and mission is going along great. We are going to head out to a village called Bonwire to check out their Kente stuff after this. It is where all of the Kente for Asante region is made. So it’s a pretty cool town. Welp, I love you guys!!!! Mission is awesome, just doing the small small things I can do. Congratulate Ben for me, and say hi to everyone else that is awesome back in Denton 2nd ward. Aka, everyone! Love you guys.

September 12, 2011

Morning morning morning. Its morning there right? Yeah I guess so... it’s like 2 here so it’s what.... 8 there? Idk really haha. Anyway, life is going on well in Ghana land. Played a nice full pitch football match this morning out in Bantama. Transportation in Kumasi is RIDONKULOUS. ABSOLUTELY RI-DONK-U-LOUS. Left the apartment at 7:50.... arrive at Bantama 9:20. Kwamo to Bantama is about the distance equivalent of maybe.... our house to the square. Maybe a little longer, but still. Holy guacomole. Our whole p-days are just wasted on tro tros. So when you get frustrated with traffic on loop 288 (is that still there) just think about Elder Brown, sweaty and packed into a van with 15 other people with the sun beating down, trying to make it safely to the other end of town :) Haha. But it’s all good though. Tro tro rides are fun. I hope I get to see you guys take a tro tro some day.... would be quite an adventure ;) Welp, the week was pretty legit. Nothing too special happened, just solid missionary work. The best part of the week was the progression of one of our investigators, the one who got up and bore his testimony last week. We told him we would come help him out at his farm this week, so we grabbed our cutlasses and trekked out to his corn field early Wednesday. Turned out he needed a lot of help. He hadn't been able to plant the corn at the right time because of some complications, so he planted it as fast as he could without spraying the field with pesticide to get rid of the weeds. So we had to go and rip out all of the giant weeds on the corn field. We did it for like 5 hours on Wednesday, then another 5 hours on Friday, and we have probably only gotten about 25% done. So we have got more work to do this week! Farming is really cool though. Just relaxing to be out there, doing something that doesn't really require much brain effort, and just work hard. We used pick-axes to rip out weeds.... ‘twas a serious work out. So we did that for him twice in the week, then taught him on Saturday night. We were on splits with some ward missionaries (well actually, recent converts ;) Anarfi and Mensah) and me and Mensah had a great lesson with him. Basically talked about how church has made him feel. Said that it is adding a lot of understanding to his life and that it makes him feel good. We were able to teach about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring us Salvation, that The Bible and The Book of Mormon are testaments of that, and that it has been restored in its fullness to the earth through a prophet today, and the Spirit was able to teach him it was true. I told you about the first time he came to church right? That the night before we asked him to pray to know that what we taught him was true, and that we wouldn't expect to see him at church until he received an answer for himself. He was at church the next week. Pretty sweet! He brings his son, Ezekiel to church with him, so there is great potential there!!! Hmm.. what else from the week. Uh huhhhh, !!!! So Thursday, Elder Nathan and I were sitting in our weekly planning session, and we get to one of our families. We just sit there trying to figure out what to do. We had tried to call them either the night before, or that morning or something, and they hadn't picked up. So we are sitting there, and we are talking about them, and just come to the conclusion that they have to be our biggest focus right now. We were trying to figure out how we could help them the best, when at that very moment, the phone rings! Guess who it is? President Shulz telling me I am getting transferred to Burkina Faso! Just kidding. It was Josephine!! She told us that she wanted to meet that night. We invited the Zolls to come as well, bc they taught her with us that one time and loved her, so they tagged along. Luckily Charles was also there and we had a great discussion with them. First, Charles was wondering about tithing, so it was perfect to have Elder Zoll there with us, a fellow big business man, to talk about the blessings of tithing, how to pay it, why to pay it, all that, and Charles was convinced by the end. Then, for Josephine, we taught about the Sabbath Day. It is hard for her to come to church because Charles is always travelling, and coming to church on her own with three young kids is tough. But again, it was perfect that the Zolls were there, bc Sister Zoll could talk about how hard it is to go to church when the husband is travelling, but why it is so important, and how it will bless us so much. So all in all the lesson was perfect. And to end, the Zolls showed a Mormon messages video thingy from Neil L. Anderson, about how "You Know Enough". ‘Twas perfect. And then Josephine had made us stir fry with chow-mein noodles. Stir-fry? STIR-FRY?! Isn't that what I used to hate growing up?! Holy guacomole.... times have changed. Times have changed. Or I guess living in Ghana eating nothing but eggs and bread and rice and cassava does that to ya. Wowzers. Then we go to teach her again on Saturday. The Zolls came again. It had been forever since we had just simply read the Book of Mormon with her, so we read Alma 32, and again, it was great! Then at the end, the Zolls showed another Mormon Messages thing, this one about the temple. It was so sweet.... man.... the temple..... I love da temple. I haven't seen a temple in well, you know how long. The video was perfect, bc the Zolls explained about how right now her faith is small like the seed in Alma 32, that one day it will be knowledge as she understands the blessings that temple covenants provide for us. Pretty sweet. She promised to come to church on Sunday... and she did! Along with her 3 kids. Church yesterday was interesting. So Last Tuesday we had our first zone conference with President Shulz. It was sweet, talked a lot about how to train a new missionary. Because there are at least 45 new missionaries coming into our mission before 1 January. Wowzers. Our mission is going to be so much different. Elder Adams told me that there is another Elder Brown coming, this one from Florida. So we will have 3 Elder Brown's in GCCM. I will be the grandfather of them all! How sweet would it be if I got to train Elder Brown? Let me answer.... ummmm, so sweet???? I think it would be cool just to train for the rest of my mission. Every two transfers just get a fresh dude and train him up the right the way. That would be pretty cool. But we shall see what the Lord has in store! Anyway so we talked about that, but then at the end talked about our new mission goal. President Shulz wants all of the wards to develop a ward mission plan. Now the members are like WAY excited about missionary work, should be fun to see what happens with it. It’s going to be a cool goal. I got sick over the weekend, not fun koraaa!!! Some bad chicken I ate on Friday. But, was still able to proselyte, just not very fun! Glad the Cougs at least put up a good showing against Texas, too bad they lost, but oh well. Seems like the team should be ok. Hopefully I can hear the cheers all the way in Kumasi on Saturday :) My regards to everybody in D- Town. Love you guys!!!

Macbeth ad. I mean, farming… and eating raw plantain (not very good
