We had a great week this last week!
I'll just start with the transfer news because I told you that this
week would be transfers. So we got the call and found out that my
companion and I are both staying in Praso together! My companion was
surprised because he thought he would be getting released as a zone
leader this time because he has been a zone leader for a very long time.
We are both happy that we will be staying though. It probably means
that I'm going to be here as least until the Mother's Day call home...I
guess we'll just have to wait and see. We went on splits twice this
week and both times I stayed in my area. On Friday we went to do a
baptism interview for one of our investigators out in Nuamakrom but she
was feeling very sick and so we felt like it would be best if we pushed
her baptism back until she was feeling better. She also was happy with
that because she didn't want to be sick when she was baptized. The
baptism can't be this coming Saturday either because we'll be having
Stake conference and the area presidency will be presiding there. When I
was on splits one of the days, we passed by the Relief Society
President in our branch and she wasn't home but her niece was there and
so we talked to her for a minute and then invited her to come to church
and on Sunday she came! She is going to a nursing training college and
that's why she is living with her Aunt. So now we have a new
investigator in our Praso branch which is struggling a little bit
because it's so new and small but hopefully we'll be able to help it
out. The power has been going out a lot lately. I guess they have been
having electricity shortages and so they have to share the
electricity throughout the country. So when we have power it means
another part of Ghana doesn't have it. It's certainly not something
that would happen back home in America. It makes me grateful for what I
have back home though. We've had a couple of big rainstorms as well.
The rain comes down so hard and it's not even in drops. It's like
there is just a waterfall coming our of the sky! Depending on the way
the wind is blowing it either comes through the window onto my bed or my
companions. Luckily last night it wasn't getting on my bed. ;) Well,
I'm 19 months today. That's pretty crazy. Time just keeps going by
faster and faster. Well, thanks for the emails this week everybody!
Have a wonderful week!
