So, answers to questions first.
"me abuswia" means my family (he opened his letter with this a couple of weeks ago)
Best sound to hear is people laughing (a sound he really enjoys in his area)
No, I haven't heard of the game Oware. Sorry. There are other games that I
have seen. Like some variation checker game and strange card games. I
don't understand any of them really.
So we got
our transfer news this week. I am staying and Elder Bradley is
leaving. My new companion will be Elder Makuni. We think he is South
African from his name but no one knows him, how long he has been here or
where he is coming from. He is probably a young guy from a village
somewhere. He will be District leader so he is also Senior companion. I
am happy. I wasn't really looking forward to doing either. Both are
easy, but Junior comp is really nice. Elder Adams will be coming to be
Elder Onen's companion, which will be cool. Our apartment is going to
be cool.
I got the packages with Meet the Mormons and Grandma's package. Everything came well, but the pepperoni
grease got on the oatmeal. It wasn't a problem though. Meet the Mormons
was cool. We really liked it. Being called a Seventh Day Adventist
was not very appreciated but it was a really good show. We watched it
with Elder Verdoni who also liked it.
Contacting
has been pretty slow this week. Even president has been concerned
about our low number of new investigators. We are hoping that with the
new blood of Elder Makuni, we can get some new investigators and get
people to come to church. We sung "Put Your Shoulder To the Wheel
yesterday in sacrament meeting, and the line "the work is long but must
go on, put your shoulder to the wheel" struck me. We just need to keep
working every day. No matter how monotonous the work can be.
We
will be moving into our new apartment soon. My guess is next week. We
should be getting a call from Brother Cooper telling us when. It will
be about a 2 minute walk from the chapel which will be nice and
hopefully the water will be better there. We have no control over the
power, but water would be nice to have. It is a 2 bedroom apartment
which is smaller than our current one, but it will be new. The office
elders will probably bring their truck to help move our stuff over. We
are told that all we need left in the new apartment is a water tank and a
pump. So it should be soon that we move in.
Love you guys. enjoy work and what is left of school.
Love you,
Elder Warner Ashby
