Wow what a week!! This week has been a pretty exciting one and a special one for many reasons. This week was my last week in this area as I have learned that I am getting transferred from one village to another. This new village that I am going to is even considered more "bushy" than where I am now. I am super excited to go and hopefully learn some more of the language around this place! The new place is called Asuom, Abomoso or something like that. A lot of the people in my district right now say it seems like once a bush boy always a bush boy! haha. No, eventually I will make it to the city but for the start of my mission I am considered a "bush boy". I will leave tomorrow morning and make the long 5 hour trek across our mission traveling by tro tro.
This last week we also got to go to the temple and that was so much fun!! I really enjoyed the session and enjoyed seeing the new changes! At the temple we also got to do baptisms for the dead, confirmations and initiatories so it was a super successful day at the temple!! Lots of temple work and that is the thing that I love most! With me going to my new place I probably will not be able to make it to the temple for a long time now but it has been sweet while it has lasted. Also after the temple we got to go enjoy KFC!! That was so awesome!!
Last thing that happened this week is that we got to baptize our investigator and she is so awesome, she is a 23 year old lady that has a super super strong testimony and I am really hoping that she will go to the temple soon to one day be married and endowed.
Anyways I love you all and I hope all is going well back home!!
