Hello!
Hows everyone doing? Hopefully good !! So things here are going very well. Last week (Transfer week) was kind of rough. Our zone didn't do so hot. So me and elder jones are working on that. We are getting along very well. We have a ton in common. We have had a great time so far so thats been good ! We have had a pretty good week. So guess who was at church on Sunday? John Beck ! Quarterback for the Redskins. I sat right behind him, we talked for a second afterwards. It was funny to see everyones reaction when he introduced himself in Elders Quorum. It was kind of cool though. He lives in a town home in our area. He won't be at church very often so it was fun to see him. Monday we had Zone Leader Council. It was pretty intense. Basically from 9-3 all the zone leaders, president, and the assistants get together , sit in a circle, and counsel about new ideas and how to fix problems in the mission. Obviously some people are quite oppinioinated so it is pretty funny sometimes. I didn't say to much, next time for sure I will though. It was fun though and we all had a good time. We always have zone leader basketball before the counsels each month so that was fun. Then last night while tracting me and my companion found 2 new investigators ! The first one is Belinda. She is from Ghana. We taught her a little about the Book of Mormon and she was accepting to us coming back and teaching more. She is awesome. She is going to make us some Fufu next time, not sure what that is so if you want to google it and let me know what im getting myself into that would be sweet. Then as we were driving to a members house to use the bathroom we saw this guy on his porch talking on his phone, he looked like he was from Ghana so we wanted to go talk to him. Sure enough he was. My companion knows some Twi so he said a couple things to him and he just loved it ! I thought it was hilarious to see a white guy speak his native lanugage. We taught him a little and he agreed to let us come back. He is visiting from Ghana for 6 months so hopefully we can help him before he goes back. Also our other investigator from Ghana came to church again on Sunday. Her and her whole family were there and they stayed for the full three hours ! The kids LOVED it ! It was a little long for Flora but I think she enjoyed it. We are going over there on Saturday afternoon to play some volleyball and have a lesson and have some Fufu. That is all the exciting news that I have I think ! Its been a good week, I am excited for this transfer and to see all the miracles ! I love you guys !!
