| It's so much cooler here with the breeze off the coast. |
So let me start out by
describing the journey we had to this place. So first of all I didn't even
finish packing until Tuesday morning. I guess the whole time I was
thinking to myself "Oh I'm a pro at packing. I'll do it tomorrow."
The procrastination is real! Well, long story short we pull up to this station
in Nsawam with all our crap and literally all these black people surround the
car yelling over each other in Twi who will take the Obrunies to their
destination. I wish I got it on video. It was so funny. Well, long story short
just leave it to Macdaddy to solve all of our problems haha. So ended up hiring
a trotro for all of us and everyone got to their areas safe and sound haha.
Let me just take a
moment to brag about how cool and Christ-like my companion is. His name is
Elder Ngoy. He is 24 and he is from DR Congo. I am so happy to be with this
guy. He is the most humble person I have met on mission. I know I will enjoy
this time with him. My job is to support him in his calling as district leader
and to actually help him with his English. So I'm excited for this totally new
thing I am experiencing. This guy literally has cooked for me every single meal
this week and he even is washing my clothes. Besides my mother, I don't think
anyone has cooked for me and done my laundry this much! I don't even know what
to do but thank him and try to be the best person I can be to him. This guy
cooks me food from his home country. It's sooooo good. I'm addicted haha.
Well it is definitely
different in the city, a lot cooler too. Literally right by the ocean...so we
are constantly getting a nice cool breeze. Missionary work is different here
too. There are more baptisms. The members are willing to help so much with
missionary work. We got like 7 referrals this week. We are having a baptism
this week and then one a couple more weeks after that. People progress faster
here as well because they accept the message here a lot more than in the Bush
and also the rumors about the church really isn't a thing here. People will
actually come to church if you invite them, unlike the Bush where literally
they say "oh I will come, by alll means I will come" then nope they
won't ever come haha. I'm excited. It's been a while since I have seen a busy
highway. Yup there is one smack dab in the middle of my area. What a joy haha.
It makes biking a lot harder. But I haven't seen so many paved roads since I
left America and I am right by the temple site too! Even I got to see Elder
Hunt today when we went to the temple site to play basketball with these
elders, break their ankles, and dunk on them as well. Don't worry, we will
teach these guys how to play haha.

I guess I'm popular or
something. But almost every night missionaries have came to my apartment. In
the city, especially where I am, my apartment is in the corner of the area and
it borders 2 other areas. So other elders are really close by. When we're all
done working we just chill and talk. It's really fun. It's like you get the
perks of a 4-man apartment in a 2-man haha.

Well I
don't know what else to say besides the fact I am in charge of two areas now. I
have a lot of work to do. I am still trying to learn the area and figure out
what is going on and trying to adapt to the totally different atmosphere I am
in. Continued prayers will be great. Love you all!
