Hello everyone
Are you all ready for the big news! Well im being transfered to Freetown! Im going to be in Wellington 1st Branch pretty cool. Im excited to see Freetown. Its going to be really hard to leave Bo. Bo is my home I was born here! (Which means this is where i started my mission). Im going to miss my Investigators very much! But thats mission for you I guess. My companion is from Ghana his name is Elder Intsaful (Ints-a-ful). Im excited I hear he is really nice. Im not sure how im getting to freetown yet. They think that someone will be coming to Bo from freetown to bring the elders that are being transfered here so then i can just ride back to Freetown with who ever comes out. But I might be taking the Bus Which leaves at 4 in the morning. which i really dont want to do because then i will have to sleep at Sewa Rd apartment Tomorrow night then wake up and go early on wednesday. And i will have to carry my heavy luggage on the back of a dirt bike and then hike to the bus stop.. anyways im really hoping someone comes from freetown. Either way I will be in Freetown on Wednesday. So thats that pretty exciting. We will be getting 2 new sets of couples this transfer and the new mission pres will be here on july 1st. the minute he steps off the plane into Sierra Leone then he is the new mission pres and Pres squires is finished.... Really really not looking forward to that day. I need to go into it with an open mind. But I really love the squires. I had a dream about the new mission president and he made me do push ups in zone conference. I think I dreamed that because he is a retired military man! lol. im a dork. Im going to miss some of my investigators getting baptized so im sad about that but oh well. I hope I can stay in contact with these people over the years. We are teaching one guy that i would really like to stay in touch with. His name is Moses he is the son of that 77 yr old man I baptized. He is one of the most popular radio djs in town. everyone knows him. We are teaching him and he is doing really well. I have gotten to know his wife really well lately and the other day i was talking to her and i told her just to greet her husband for me and she said no im not going to do it and i said eh.. why not! and she said i havent talked to that man in weeks. And she told me she didnt want to talk about it. So i was like ok no problem so then we decided to teach the husband the law of chastity. turns out theres some problems haha. he stays out all night and doesnt come home till early in the morning. and he told us infact my wife wont even talk to me right now. So we actually had a really cool lesson with him and talked about repentence and the atonement and all this. And he actually almost broke down. which you would have to know the culture to know that that would never happen. especially because of the kind of person how he is. everyone wants to be friends with this man. he has women after him like crazy. but he broke down with us and told us that he has a desire to change and correct things wow.. it was so crazy! I hope he continues to progress. I took a picture with him i will try to send it soon. Well thank you all so much for the support and love! I love you all.
