Sorry for the 'leave of absence' I've been a bit lazy lately and haven't made time to write my weekly letter... don't worry, repentance is real :)
So update on the whole Branch in Juapong and apartment there and all that stuff---SO hopefully within like 2 weeks we'll be able to move into our apartment (which according to our mission office, is the nicest apartment in the whole mission) and yesterday after Church we identified all of our members who live in Juapong and the leadership there--now that list will go with our Mission President to the Area Office on Wednesday, and there they will decide when we'll be able to open up either a group or a branch. Needless to say, we're super excited and can't wait to be established there.
My new companion is named Elder Ojaide and he is from Delta State, Nigeria, but he lives in Lagos. Super cool guy. We get along really really well, we both listened to the same kind of music and well anyways its been really fun lately.
We've been really blessed to find a lot of new people in a city called Atimpoku. For the past few months this city has been a place I've always wanted to avoid just because it has always felt 'dead'. Well thanks to 'new eyes' in the area we've started contacting in many different places than before.
We don't have any baptisms planned in the immediate future, we were working with a young couple who have had the chance of visiting the Church for the past few weeks, but because of difficulty in schedules and myself always going down to Accra (transfers, doctors appts.. etc.) we haven't had the time to see them unfortunately. I hope that we'll be able to pick them back up again, seeing as they are very interested in the Church.
Well that's all for today folks, love you all and have a great week.
