It's been a while. I've got a lot to update about.
We had the baptism for our friends Joyce, Blessing, and Charity. They are all super cool and it was a great service. That same day we received our transfer news and I heard that I was getting sent to the Odorkor Ward in the Kaneshie Zone. I was pretty bummed to leave Alajo, but I have been there for 7 months so it was probably time. I send my goodbyes all of that next week.
Transfers were delayed a little bit so I didn't leave until that next Friday. We had MLC and Elder Zile, my last companion, came to stay in Alajo for 2 days. We got to proselyte with him and he came to my last midweek too. Elder Vogelsberg replaced me and he's a great missionary so I know that Alajo is in good hands with him and Elder Gemah.
I came to Odorkor on Friday morning and met my companions Elder Heaton and Elder Arthur. Elder Heaton was going home that next Wednesday so we were in a trio for a few days. Those few days were a lot of fun, meeting members and eating a lot of food. Elder Heaton was saying all of his goodbyes and I was meeting people at the same time.
On one Saturday Sister Jacobsen, our Mission Mom, took us to an art market. There was a ton of super cool stuff and I got a few things. Elder Heaton got the legendary zombie mask as a gift from the mission home.
On Monday we went to the beach with our district and it was actually really clean. Definitely nicer than the last beach I went to. We did some flips and bought some cool stuff again. I also learned how to drum from a guy there.
On Wednesday we went to District Council and then escorted Elder Heaton to the mission home. It felt really weird to see someone go home. I felt a small fraction of all of the weird feelings he had that day. I'm coming up on 5 months left so my day is coming soon too.
The other few days in the area have just been working and learning. It's a pretty big area with a lot of people and places to remember. The ward is super cool though. One lady in our ward was on the Family Feud!
