Transfers, mother's day and other fun stuff

So as a missionary, we get to call home 4 times... i had my first time last sunday... its weird to think that i only have one more Mothers day here in Ghana... oh well, this last week was transfer week! and so i got a new companion! Elder Iheanacho (try saying that 10 times fast) is my new companion. he has been out for just over 10 months and is the new district leader to the area...also, i am a senior junior companion now... i am the one that knows the area, the members, investigators, and the district... so as our zone leaders see it, I am the district leader 😂 Its a pretty exciting thing... Elder Iheanacho is very quiet and very humble (unlike my last companion) so i have also had to step up when it comes to teaching the lessons..  i have had to teach whole lessons by myself with him only introducing himself... so that is fun!

We have started repairing the relationship with the members and the bishop, so it was amazing yesterday when the bishop called and asked us to come give a blessing to one of his family members with him. so he drove us in his van about 45 minutes to his cousins house and the whole time we just had a really good talk about life....also, he always wears these super cool bead ties and i asked him where he got them. All he said about that was "I will have some made for you"... so we are starting to make the relationship better.

This morning we had a joint devotional with the Accra West mission... Elder Suarez (the newest Apostle) was the one who spoke and it was awesome to be able to feel the spirit of one of the apostles walk into a room... it just went dead silent and everybody stood up... just like before conference... but he spoke to us about how we need to obey our mission presidents better... that no matter what, we should always heed their council, and how we can always do better at contacting... ..

This week is going to be super cool because we have 4 baptisms! ... umm... i dont know what else to say, so here is a cool picture of the sunrise... a picture a member took when he threw his baby at me.

.. so that was exciting, and umm... i also ended up rewiring about half of the lights in  my apartment this week so that we would have lights that worked... so yeah..

. I also had to buy a new camera last week because the offbrand gopro couldnt hold up against the missionary life... so i got a sweet little waterproof camera for 399 cedis... (like $88)
Love,
Elder Williams
