This week was pretty cool.
The work in Odorkor has been interesting lately. Our biggest challenge is still that we don't have bikes for our area. We walk sometimes up to 45 minutes just to get to a lesson. We are managing it though and we hope to get bikes soon in the future.
On Wednesday we had Zone Interviews with President and Sister Jacobsen and we got to stay the whole time. Making sure people got there on time and watching packages. It was all worth it though I love hearing and learning from the Jacobsen's.
We also had our multi-zone conference this last Friday and it went great. We talked all about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) It was also my trainer's last multi-zone conference so he bore his testimony. That is really weird, that'll be me in 3 months.
There were 11 people who bore their going home testimonies. A lot of cool people are going home. Elder Gemah one of my previous comps from Liberia. Sister Sunday who is the coolest sister in the mission and is from Nigeria is also going home. Sad to see people go.

He walked up and we went through the basics.
How are you?
What's your name?
Where are you from?
When we told him we were from the USA he looked at us and said. "AY, L.A.P.D. go catch you and send you back."
15 weeks
Well if I added everything up right I should only have 15 weeks left which means I have 15 P days left. I thought it would be cool to share one thing that I have learned on my mission each week until I go home. So here it goes.
•Week 15•
Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
I have really learned the importance of planning on my mission. Every day we wake up and form a plan of things that we want to accomplish and every week we do the same thing. The truth is if you don't plan how you're going to do something you probably won't do it right. Time is the most valuable thing in this life and the way to budget it is by planning. I heard someone say once that when you are planning for your week, make sure to plan for the "Big Rocks" first before you try and squeeze the little rocks in. That means at the beginning of the week you can set time apart for things like family, friends, personal hobbies and interests, etc. But always put the most important things in life in your schedule first. If you don't plan your months, weeks, or days you will find that time is just slipping by without achieving any of the goals or aspirations that you have.
