As usual I am short on time to write my group email because we had to drive my mission President to go and get his car from the shop. Just a quick note.. it was the scariest 10 minutes driving of my life.
As you may remember from my last week's group e-mail, my former companion, Elder Harward, has now been transferred out and Elder Simpson has been made a supply Elder!
Not much went on between Monday-Wednesday morning other then going to visit members and non members before Elder Harward left the area. It was pretty sad to see how sad Elder Harward and others were that he was being transferred. He has a great love for the people and the area ( maybe me.. ;) ) but I know he is doing great in his new area. While pulling away in the truck with Elder Simpson, I told Elder Harward that we are going to enjoy the AC and having a mission vehicle.. leaving the office will not be so fun because no more vehicle.
On Wednesday we were tasked with transporting suitcases and missionaries from the two stations in Cape Coast. All missionaries coming to Cape Coast from the Western region or going to the Western region come to Pedu station. And all missionaries in Central region or coming to Central region come to Tantri station. The station's are 10 or so minutes apart. We drove back and forth a million times.. pretty stressful. But eating fufu and ice cream with the departing missionaries made it all better.
Thursday turned into an office day because there was a lot that needed to be done for transfers. So we spent the day going to get things and editing different documents. Elder Simpson was thrown into supply duties right away. Friday was also a office day so we continued our duties. Elder Simpson made his first post office stop. He was lucky that a lot of packages did not come in...
Saturday and Sunday were the best days of the week because we actually got to be in the sun and be in our area. We had some great lessons both of those days. One of them was with our soon to be member Francis. Sadly he was expressing his feelings on his marriage, little to say that it is not going well. What we did at that moment was bear our testimonies on the importance of marriage. Marriage is much more then some think it is. It isn't to run away from when things get bad. It is an opportunity to grow together and work together and raise the children that have been entrusted to us. Other than our testimonies we could not give advice.. one reason is because we have not been married sooooo ya.
Things are going great. I am alive. I have a headache right now because I have not eaten much today. But still alive.
Have a great week!
