Hey everyone,
How is everyone? I didn't find the yo-yo, I will probably find it when I am transfered and packing my stuff. That is usually how it works with me. (He has been looking for a yo-yo he received last year so he could give it to a child he knows. We just sent him a whole package so he could give them to the kids.)
So this week Elder Lindley and I went to the mission home to find our sons. He was not nervous about training but reopening an area worried him a bit. He says that the area is huge compared to Pompora which I am not surprised. This area is tiny. So we got to the mission home an hour early so us and Elder Riplinger (who is the new office elder) and our zone leader Elder Holmquist played basketball. Eventually all the trainers came and we were assigned a companion. I got Elder Naawu from Accra, Ghana. Then we got lunch and President instructed the trainers. Because Elder Lindley and I just finished training, he asked us some questions about training and being trained. After a while they took us to the Metro Mass station. We bought our tickets but the bus was not there. An hour later the bus came but they wouldn't let us on. They said ours had left already. We later found our that they put up the Obuasi sign just as they were leaving. The people didn't want us to board but they eventually did. It was the last bus of the night so we would have spent the night in the mission home otherwise.

The first week of training is always the slowest. Mainly because I have to do all the work. Like showing him everywhere and do most of the teaching. But with some time, he will also be sharing the load. Training him is not like training Elder Lindley. For him, he was pretty much knew how to work hard it was just teaching him the lessons. For Elder Naawu, it is kind of the opposite. He knows the lessons well and scriptures. It is just teaching him missionary life that I am working on. Things like wearing his garments and that we don't need to take a car to our area. Other than these things, we are getting along fine. The apartment is a bit quieter now but I still talk with the other guys.
Hopefully we can watch conference next week and hopefully in English. Have a great week.
