Emergency transfers are really fun!!! Kind of :) I still feel lost but I’ve been transferred to Winneba. We are covering 2 units the Ansaful 1st ward and the Ansaful 2nd Branch. They are nice comfy wards with a small number of active members but I’m excited to be here and serving here. The area in the past hasn’t been the most fruitful area but I’m still excited to serve here and try and establish the church here in this area :)

 My new companions are Elder Keith (he is from Centerville, Utah and 100% Navajo or (Lamanite)) and also Elder Belley (he is from Ghana but 100% Ghanaian). They are really just great.

This week we got the call on Monday at 8 in the evening that we needed to pack our bags and be at the mission home in 12 hours. So, on Tuesday at 5 in the morning Elder Alston and I headed to the main road to get a tro to Accra. That was fun and the tro was funny and he only took us to Nswam. Then made us get in a different tro that broke down after 2 minutes. I had all my stuff in 2 heavy suitcases so we had to wait on the side of the road for another tro to pick us. That took a while but it’s okay because I’m still alive so the lord does bless his children:). My shirt was super dirty though :)

 I made in time for breakfast so I got toast with real butter! Call me a happy teenager (I’m still 19)! We got our stuff and headed out in a taxi to get to our apartment (that cost me 110 cedi (sorry Dad. I was tired and weak-- forgive me) That was all fun and we got home safe so that’s all that really matters :)

 love ya
