Happy Easter Mom!
Hey, big news! I got transferred! I am going to a part of the city known as Lartebiokorshie! I'm still close by the temple, so I still have basketball! (Ah yes, the important things! Haha!)
Elder
Samuel, I'll be honest, was not a fun companion. He demanded perfection
and would yell at me if I screwed up. He was always saying how he was a
model missionary and us Americans are not serious. He even
told me that it would have been better if I had stayed home and never come out on
mission. So in total, I guess our personalities are too different. My
next companion is named Elder Friday. I'm hoping he is better. :'( Me too - however, learning experiences like this are important.
Other big news - we had a baptism yesterday! It was for that girl, Grace! I was
so happy I almost cried. We had worked hard and prayed for this girl
and it happened.
Other than that there's not really anything else
going on right now. For Easter, we went to a member's house and I had
Banku! It was very good - look it up. (I did: Banku is a Ghanaian dish which
is cooked by a proportionate mixture of fermented corn and cassava
dough in hot water into a smooth, whitish consistent paste. Served with
soup, stew or a pepper sauce with fish. - it is absolutely amazing that he is trying these foods! He would never try anything different!) But everyone here says that its not Easter, its Palm Sunday. I have no idea why.

It is so wonderful to hear of Elder Keddington's great successes and learning. I was SO frustrated when I read that another Elder would even say something as cruel and UNCHRIST LIKE "it would have been better for another missionary to not serve." I hope that this Elder learns the importance of EVERY Missionary and that our Heavenly Father values ALL of His children. I love the opportunity to share in my nephew's mission, Thank you Burg for setting up this great Blog!! LOVE YOU!!!!
