Zoo trip

-
This week we didn't do much so I'm just going to send a quick email. Saturday we had 3 baptisms. For Ellen Blessing and Caroline. They all live in the same house and Blessing and Caroline are sisters. We weren't expecting to baptize them but when we went to talk to Ellen about her baptism the mom was there to give us permission so we were able to baptize them. Ellen has been coming to church forever and always asks when it is her turn to be baptized and we were able to get permission last week so we were able to baptize her Saturday. Today we went to the zoo and I fed a full grown lion. It was legit. We also played a lot with the monkeys and they do the coolest tricks. The zoo tells you that you need to read the disclaimer before you go in and after that you can do whatever you want after that. If you take bread and sausage then you can feed any animal in the zoo. The lion came right up to us and it was so loud when it would growl.

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.

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 ...
