Impressions

Yes,  Elder Johnson will be leaving Assin Fosu and heading to the mission office.  I did not know how I felt about it when I got the news, but now I am excited to go. To be honest, the main reason is because we get to drive a car.  Hopefully driving is like riding a bike...

Honestly I do not remember anything that happened last week. After being out for this long I would have thought my memory would be better.

THURSDAY: Elder Rothlisberger and I went on an exchange together while my companion went with Elder Havea.  We had a great day together.

The grossest part was the naked homeless lady.

The funniest part was Elder R got gum on his bum in two places after sitting on a chair.  We went to a lady's shop that we call mom (she gives us water when we pass by and some suckers) and got the gum off.  Shortly after we visited 2 potential investigators that gave us mangos.  The way they eat it here is biting the top off and squeezing the juice.  Elder R got exploded mango juice on his white shirt so we went back to the apartment to change his shirt.

The best part was teaching the Restoration to a older lady named Georgina. She has been coming to church for sometime now.  On our visit a week before we only got part way through when Elder Maumau and I stopped from an impression we had at the same time.  So, when Elder R and I went on Thursday we retaught it with our Elders Quorum President that lives in the same compound.  It was the best flowing and spiritual lesson I have been in for a long time.

FRIDAY:  Zone service project out in the bush!!!!  We got up nice and early to travel to Elder Plumb and Manyayi's area to take part in a project.  The project was cutting bamboo, making a fence with it, and planting corn (old fashioned way like in the restoration video lol).  My comp and I were in charge of cutting bamboo and carrying it on our shoulders 10 minutes to the land.  Bamboo is really long and heavy...

SATURDAY: Had some really good lessons!!! In the evening we gathered as a zone to eat dinner and receive transfer news.

SUNDAY: Had to say goodbye to the members in the ward :( Was invited up to bear my testimony to the ward, which I love to do. After church we had a great lesson with Georgina. This time we watched the Restoration at Brother Egyir's house. The spirit was for sure there!!! The Restoration video is a great resource here.  The best part..... SKYPE'D MY FAMILY :) :)

MONDAY: Washing my clothes and starting to pack. For dinner I drank 3 Cokes and a Fanta... my excuse is a celebration for my last pday in Fosu :P

I love you all and hope all is well in America. Ghana rules. Mission rules. And am very excited to embark on the office experience!
