Conference

-
This week was not a lot of proselyting again because we had conference. We were able to get a laptop and a wifi box from a member so we could watch every session. We picked it up Saturday and watched the first session live. It was amazing to see the salt lake temple and small of home again. After the first session the power went out and we had to wait for it to come back so we could watch the next session. It came back about an hour into the session so we could still watch it but we didn't get to bed until 11. We woke up sunday and got ready to go to the chapel to watch it with the stake. We had a very good turnout so it was nice. We were able to watch womens conference there and all the missionaries flipped when we heard the orem utah temple was going to be built. After the session we went to the apartment and watched the book of mormon stories/ napped until the next session. It was wonderful being able to hear all the sessions live and hear the words the apostles had for us. All the missionaries freaked when we heard Africa being announced as much as it was. I will try to get a better email next week but that is mainly what happened this week. 

Love you all,
Elder Hernandez

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 ...
