Hey Everyone!
How is everyone doing? I'm doing alright. I don't really feel like writing an update, but I figure that I'd better, since it's been a couple of weeks.
Well, I had Elder Osime as my companion, and things were going great. We were getting along, and having a really good time. Then, we learned about something that happened in the mission, and we knew that some emergency transfers were going to be happening soon. So, on Friday night, after working in our area, Elder Osime and I bought some things to make for dinner, and headed back to the apartment. After about 5 minutes, we recieved a call from the President of our mission. He was going to transfer Elder Osime, and give me a new companion. So, just like that, he left the next morning. It really stinks because we got along really well, and worked together really well. I've been in Attiegou for 4 transfers, so I figured that we'd only get one transfer together, but we didn't even get that.
Now, my new companion is Elder Koadio. He is from Ivory Coast, and he doesn't speak any English at all, which will be fun. We've only been companions for one full day, but things are going good so far. It will be nice to speak only French, to make sure I still remember it. With Elder Osime, it was all English, which probably didn't help.
As far as our area, it is doing well. We are preparing a couple differnet people for baptism, and will probably have about 4 more baptisms this trasfer. Keep our friends in your prayers, that they'll be able to progress well, and move towards baptism.
Other than that, nothing much new to report. I'm doing well, and my sector is doing well. This week I'll hit 9 months on the mission. If i was a sister missionary, I'd be halfway done haha. However, I cherish that I still have 15 more months to serve the Lord here in Africa.
I hope everyone is doing well, and has a great week, and a great summer!!
