Elder Aidan Holyoak: Rockabye Baby, Rockabye

Rockabye Rockabye

Transfers passed and we had to say goodbye to some of the friends in our district. Our roomie Elder Muhaga left us to go to Swedru Zone, Elder Libby and Elder Murdock in our district also got transferred. :( Sad times but I know I'll see these guys again some time. The new person in our apartment is Elder Steadman. He is from a small town in Utah called Wales. He just finished his training and was actually trained by one of the guys I started my mission with! He's a super chill guy and he's 6'5 so he takes up a lot of space in our apartment, in a good way.

This week we have been teaching a ton of new people and we hope to see some more success. We have been working with members a lot more and it has been really nice having a translator. He can only translate for maybe 3 lessons a week though so for the rest we just have to rough it out. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Some kids were throwing rocks at us last night. We were coming home from the stake center on P-Day and one kid said,

"Obrony give me water."

I didn't have any water so I said,

"I don't have water."

One of the kids next to him threw a small rock and he hit me in the leg. I told them not to throw rocks but I guess that made it even more fun. A few more started throwing them as we walked away. It's alright though they were all really bad at throwing so they only hit me on the first one. Maybe we can go back and teach them how to play baseball, then invite them to church.

It was a pretty average week but we have multizone this week so it'll definitely be more eventful. The media guys also assigned us another video so I'll include that in the next email.

Scripture of the week

John 6:48 - "I am that bread of life."

To all the missionaries out there, keep on grinding. Remember the fruits always come after you exercise your faith, not before. I'll see you guys all next week!
