Not so turkey day and transfers

-


This week was definitely one to remember. It was my first thanksgiving of the mission and it was way fun actually. Last two weeks in my interview with president he asked if I had plans for thanksgiving and I told him maybe we'll go chop some pigeon at a members house. That changed when the zone leaders called and said they wanted to have an activity with all the people that celebrate thanksgiving (basically just the elders). We went to the Boukrom apartment on wednesday and stayed the night. Thursday we all made different food, watched movies and called our families. It was so fun to have a day where we could just chill.
Saturday was transfer saturday so we were all getting transfer news. I thought I would get transferred because I have been here for 3 already. In the morning President calls everyone getting a calling then at night the zone leaders call everyone else. We got a call in the morning from President and my companion was called as a zone leader. I went the whole day thinking I would stay and I was so pumped. At night I was calling all my TC's and elder Jacobson when I called my zone leaders to ask a question. They told me I was going on transfer and I was so pissed. I wanted to stay a 4th so bad. This apartment is getting hot water this week or next as well. I called my friend (the ap) and got mad at him lol. He wouldn't tell me where I am going but only said that I will enjoy my next area. So I will have more info on that next week.

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 ...
