Greetings
dear family!
Good to hear that the
4th was fun for you all. I myself am going to celebrate today at the
apartment with my "father!" (aka my missionary trainer). He has been my zone
leader for this transfer and now we're both leaving. ...Yes, I'm being transferred.
6 months in Obuasi and 6
in Effiduasi. Now I'm going to Agona. I'll be companions with Elder Anderson.
It's his last transfer on mission so I'll see him go home...hopefully he has
some junk to get rid of! I've been with Elder Asada for 1 transfer and now with
Elder Anderson for 1. Fast companions. I went from a decent branch, to a smaller
branch, to even smaller now. It's not easy, but It's special to see the beginnings
of what will one day become part of a Stake. Some converts/investigators have a
hard time saying goodbye, but they'll get over it soon. They always do. They say, "That's it! I'm not going to be friends with missionaries
anymore! I don't want to miss them." But they always do. :)
I played basketball
today for the first time since home...my shots must have showed it too. ha. I smell
terrible and I hope the people next to me in this cafe aren't too upset. The country and mission are both treating me well. We were low on food
this week, but surprise meals saved our lives. Missionaries will eat anything
when we're hungry. Don't expect me to be a picky eater when I get home. We have a new Mission President! I’ll miss President and Sister Holmes. Sister Holmes was by far one of my favorite
people I’ve ever met. The new Mission President looks nothing like the newspaper clip. We met both him and Sister Cosgrove at a
mission tour and their instruction was good. My health is fine and I appreciate
the new medicine and the watch. That package was a surprise for me! Also Elder
Hyena loved Brooke's hyena picture. He thinks it's "so cool."
Gotta go fam, but thanks for the e-mail.
Have
a great week.

My favorite two boys. These guys are really smart
and love to learn.
