Mobbin in the MTC

Yo Yo Yo what up everybody. Its your boi Elder hernandez emailing you from my first P-day in the MTC. I left last Wednesday at 9 PM and got to the MTC about 9 PM ghana time on Thursday. The first flight was niiice. i was in the middle row with an open seat next to me and a girl from denmark next to that seat. i figured that was the last time i could actually talk to a girl for two years so i was talking to her the whole 10 hour flight. we got to the amsterdam airport with around an hour and a half to spare so we took our time getting to the next airport and everyone thought we were crazy because we were a group of 34 young men in white shirts and ties walking around in one big group. Our flight had 2 missionaries from arizona 2 from california one from idaho and one from saudi arabia. the rest were from all around utah. 

The first day we were all so exhausted. we had meetings all day in the gym/auditorium so everyone just slept. everyday has basically been just classes so I wont bore you with that but we do practice teaching/meeting people. Our teachers change shirts and act like different people so we do a private lesson with them each day. One with brother kumi kumi and we just met brother ronald yesterday. im very good at the first contact part of the teaching and getting to know the interested people but when it comes to teaching a lesson its pretty rough.

if i could have one question for every person in ghana it would be... why is everything spicy?
I understand the chicken and they put a sauce on the rice but yesterday i was so happy to see that we had spaghetti and got a big bowl of it but when i took a bite it was spicy. so i took a sip of my drink and that was even more spicy. I was exited to have grape juice but it was not grape juice. it was fire. i drank straight fire. and not the good straight fire like one of kendricks albums. 

Speaking of music. i have had a different song stuck in my head each day. I just sing it all day to keep me sane here. without music im going crazy. i have never gone longer than a day without listening to one of my fire playlists.

hope everything is well 

Your boi
The G, the ledgend

This week was hot. Last week we went to a members house to help her fetch water. We had to carry buckets to a pipe not super far away but a nice walk then carry them back full of water. The natives here just carry it on their head but I dont like that too much so I put it on my shoulder. After we fetched 5 buckets I felt like I was going to pass out but I couldnt let the member see that so I continued until we carried a total of 7. My held a lot of dirt toward the end. We started the week with a wonderful lesson with sister Lydia who was taught by missionaries before but she didn't care so she didn't remember anything. She met someone who changed her view on the book or mormon so she decided to read it and came to church. When we went there so was so receptive to everything we taught and was so excited to learn.  We then had to prepare the apartment to receive two new missionaries. They split our area so we now have 4 in the apartment and 4 at church each su...

Last week monday after we had returned to the apartment we were cleaning some small things when we got a call from our mission president. It threw me off and I was not prepared for it at all. I answered and he wanted to speak with me and my companion on speaker. He told us that because of the situation in Liberia we need to make room in the mission for 7 missionaries coming from the MTC so my companion went on emergency transfer and I was called to train. He told us we would be leaving on Wednesday to travel to Kumasi.  Tuesday we prepared to leave by saying goodbye to some members and my companion packed. We stayed the night at the Zone Leaders to get up at 4 the next day to get on a bus to Kumasi.  We arrived in Kumasi and went to the stake center of my last area so it was nice seeing it again. I met my son there and we arranged for everyone to travel to their areas. With my area being 7 hours away we stayed at the mission home for the night. MLC ...
