Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? I'm sorry that I didn't get an email sent last week; I ran out of time. Anyways, it has been a super eventful two weeks. So, let me catch you up.
I finally got the call! I will be transferring out of Nkawkaw this Wednesday. I have been training Elder Willden for one transfer. Typically training is two transfers, but the president says I am needed somewhere else in the mission. There will be an Elder who will come and complete Elder Willden's training. It feels weird having only one transfer with him, and I feel bad leaving him halfway trained, but it is what it is. I am super thankful and so happy for all of the time that I have spent here and all of the relationships that have developed. I will miss this place PAA!! Elder Willden will also be missed; I had a great time with him, and I am thankful for the privilege to train him. But I am overjoyed to be moving forward. I have loved my 8 months in Nkawkaw. But it's time to go!
Last week, Monday, we went to a cave. Or at least the signboard said it was a cave, but it really turned out to be a crack in a mountain. I guess you could have considered it a cave because there was one part that was slightly wider than the width of my shoulders. Other than that, it was pretty claustrophobic, totally worth it though. To get to the cave, we had to rock climb; it was cool.
We had a baptism for our dear sister Lydia Midorse; she is one of Ernestina's kids. She is 18 years old. The family is almost completed. We have baptized 4/5 people in the family. Sadly, I won't be here to help the 5th one into the waters of baptism, but I will be happy to hear when he has been wherever I am going to be.
There has been so much that has gone on, you have heard a majority of it, but I gotta save some stories for next time! Hope y'all have a fantastic week. Love y'all. Talk to ya next time. ~Elder Gilbert

I found Mountain Dew! Only one bottle, but it was so good.
Gobe beans. They are so good; the woman packages the beans in plantain leaves.
