Hello everyone! It's been another week. This week was pretty normal, honestly, but I remember a lot of it only because I took plenty of pictures.
There are a lot of people leaving me soon. We got transfer calls on Saturday, and I learned that Elder Bloomfield is leaving me. I will stay in Nkawkaw for a bit longer. Although it's nice to be done with my training, I will be getting a new comp this Wednesday, and I'm not too excited to have to adjust to someone all over again, but it's just how the cookie crumbles. I better get used to it because it's going to happen many times before I'm done. Also, Elder Bampoe will be leaving on transfers too. I wish we knew where they were going to prevent gossip in the mission. They just tell us who is leaving. It kind of sucks, but it is what it is.
We had a wonderful FM this week from the Kumi family. They fed us fufu with chicken. It was really good, but I'm still learning how to eat fufu. It's more difficult than you would think. Fufu is cassava and plantain that has been pounded into almost a dough texture. It reminds me of bread dough, but the tricky thing with fufu is you are not supposed to chew it. You are supposed to swallow it whole. It's a skill that I wasn't really expecting to have to learn here. But anyways, besides that, this family is such a good family. They are so very kind. They are a good example of Christ-like people. The father is a presiding elder for the Apostolic Church here in Nkawkaw. Although they are members of a completely different church, they are still so willing to feed us and be friends. The food was great. The only issue is there was like 10 lbs of food there for three people. We were stuffed! There's a picture; I'll put in the link. You can see I'm just stuffed and suffering.
We had two baptisms this week! The first is Solomon. I have told you plenty about him! He is a great guy and will be a bishop one day. This guy is amazing, and we also baptized Derrick. Derrick is 12 years old. We were teaching him and his mom, and after all of the lessons, he expressed that he would like to be baptized. He is a great kid, and I'm happy he is choosing to follow the covenant path.
This week's photos are honestly just me and Elder Bloomfield chilling with all the homies, teaching them lessons, and just enjoying the African lifestyle!
