Week 27: Getting Transferred to Winneba

Ok, I’ll write something small for this week.

I am getting transferred to a place called Winneba. It is a beach town on the complete other end of my mission. Looks like a long day of traveling for Elder Janda. I will be going from a two man shack of an apartment, to a 6 man apartment. Hahaha.

Last week it was really really rainy. One day we finished a lesson really fast as it was staring to rain. So we went running through the streets of a little town called Doboro as the rain started dumping. Man, it was seriously torrential rain. So much that I could barely breathe. Like standing under a shower head but the shower head was the sky. Haha. So we ducked under a tin roof and put all our valuables into our scrip cases and took off in the rain again leaning over our cases protecting them (to no avail). We were walking through like ankle deep streams that turned into knee deep rivers trying to get back to the station to pick a tro tro. Hahaha. It was so cool. Really a fun experience. We got back home and we were so wet. I’m pretty sure we broke the rule of no swimming because of how wet we were. Literally nothing was dry except a couple things in my bag miraculously. My New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants were dry, but my Old Testament was pretty wet. It was fun. Adds to the experience. Haha

C——- and D——- will be baptized this week but I won’t be here... sad. They were pretty bummed when I told them... weird to think that I probably won’t see any of these people again until Spirit World. Haha. I told D——- that if I die first, I will be there to welcome him into the Spirit World when he dies, but if he dies, he better be there when I die, hahahahah, it was cool. First promise I’ve made to somebody that I can’t fulfill in this life haha :-)

So yeah, next time I see ya’ll I’ll be in Winneba!
