Conference and conference

-





This week tuesday we had zone conference so wednesday we had interviews after interviews we had exchange with the zone leaders. I went back to my area on Thursday so I didnt sleep in my own bed from sunday to thursday. Then sunday was stake conference so we came back and we will be here until tuesday so I will spend 5 days on a mat in the last week. It has been an interesting and tiring week. Thursday was my companions birthday though so when he was on the phone with his mom I grabbed a water sache bit off the tip and sprayed him. It is a mission tradition to soak the missionary when they wake up on their birthday but becuase i was in another area I had to wait until the night but i got him good dont worry. In my interview with mission president he asked me if i have any plans for thanksgiving. I was confused becuase i didnt even know that it was this week. Ill probably go to a members house and chop some pigeon instead of turkey. Possible get a turkey egg to chop as well just to say I choped turkey on thanksgiving. Well see how it goes.

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 ...
