Emergency Transfers and a New Stake Missionary for a Companion!

Hello all of my beloved friends and family!!!

This week was nothing short of an interesting week!

To be honest I don't remember much of the week besides Thursday and Friday!

Recently the First Presidency of the church released new instruction that Stake missionaries (part-time), were not allowed to be staying in Full-time missionary apartments. Because of this, we had emergency transfers this week!  The actions taken were that stake missionaries all had to go home, and thus, some missionaries had to be moved around to fill empty spaces!  

Thursday evening at 9pm me and my companion, Elder Akpan, received a phone call from President Cosgrave.  He told us that my companion was being transferred tomorrow. He said that he needed to pack his bags A.S.A.P. because we needed to be at the mission home by 10am Friday morning.  He was being transferred to Obuasi.  

Now for us our apartment is in Kwamo, but we proselyte in Ejisu. So my new companion was a stake missionary, Brother Asamoah. The only reason this works is because his father is the Bishop in Kwamo. So every morning by 9 he comes to meet me at the apartment, and then after we finish, he goes back to his house to sleep.  Kind of crazy! But that really put me and Elder Akpan in a daze. It almost seemed like a dream.  But it happened, now me and Brother Asamoah are doing well and life is great. He is a super great guy and he loves to laugh and joke around which I really like!

I hope all of you are doing well! Send me snail mail! Love you all! :)

Odo,
