This will be a quick one! 4-22-2019



For our last district meeting we did a service project to help recover someones house after a flood.


Sorry guys! This email will be super short because I basically have less than five minutes to write something!

So quick update! I am now in Ashaiman 2 branch. This area is insane, ha ha! Literally it has the most people I have ever seen in Ghana. It is a busy hub because it has one of the largest markets and bus stations in Ghana, so it is crazy busy! Which also makes it super dusty so my shirts are taking a toll ha ha! I love the area so far and the members are just so awesome! I will tell you more about them next week! 

Today I went to my old stake to go and play some sports for a large activity they had and it was such a wonderful blessing to see all my old friends from my former ward. More especially, to see my converts again. : )
  
That's all I have for today, sorry guys! I will make up for it next week!

Sincerely,
Elder Baird

1 Month down!

Hats are nice to have (with Elder Sebuliba) Alright everyone, I am 1 month down. It's kind of crazy to think it's been this fast! I love it here so much! Ok so this week has been insane. We got our new companions and our areas of service on Wednesday. I was assigned to open a new area called Akati. No missionary has set foot there and most people haven't seen a white man so they all are saying "Yevoo yevoo!" (means white man in Ewe, there native tongue). So to get there we had to go take the local transport system called Trotro's. A trotro is a big van that civilians just drive and are trying to get cash. It's insane. So we found a trotro at a trotro station going to a place near our mission. So we got in the trotro and waited an hour for it to fill up. We were pretty much cooking in it haha. Then we started our 5 hour drive to go to Aflou. We stayed there with two Elders so we could go to Dzodze in the morning. ( It's pronounced Joe-J...

Busy, busy work week here!

This is one of the missionaries in our apartment. His name is Elder Wehyee from Liberia. We came back and found him like this yesterday, ha ha. Man this last week was probably one of the busiest weeks we have had so far! We had so many lessons to go to this week it was insane! People were actually wanting us to come and see them, so much so, that they were actually calling us! The only problem was, I have been writing down the wrong phone number the whole time that I have been here so we never got any of the calls.....  Hee hee, so this week we are going to fix that, ha ha ha.  The joy of finding mozzarella  sticks! :) #mineandhailey'sfavoriefood #bairdfamilychristmaseve A funny thing happened, we went to visit a members house and while there one of the kids wanted to show us where one of his friends live. It was far away and he had a wonderful idea (not really it hurt a lot , ha ha)! A common African thing that they do here is that they put two peo...

Happy Mother's Day!!!

This little girl is so adorable, ha ha! May 14th, 2018 I know that Mother's day was yesterday but anyone who reads this I just want you to know how amazing all of our Mothers are! I mean they give birth to some of the biggest knuckle-heads *cough *cough...me, ha ha. But seriously though, you Mom's are absolutely amazing! You have raised us in the church our entire lives and taught us everything we need to know in order to follow our Savior the best we can. I love reading the story of the 2,000 stripling warriors because they specifically say that their mothers taught them to be faithful and to remember the Lord always. Just as you have all done. I love you all and just want to thank you for giving all of your children your time and devotion to raise us in this world today. For funerals in Akatsi they get a bunch guys together on motorcycles and just drive around honking their horns for ever, ha ha. Well now I will talk about how much I am going to miss Akatsi. I h...
