11 Months!!

Bonjour,

How is everyone doing? I'm doing pretty good. Not a lot has happened, but we got some big news this week, so I'll fill you in on that.

As for the sector, not much has happened. We just got a bunch of work done this week, and found some new people to teach, as usual. Also, today I have 11 months on the mission, which is crazy! The time has for sure flown by over here. This next transfer, I'll hit my year mark, which is crazy to think about. I still feel like a new missionary haha.

As for this transfer, it has come to an end this week. We got our transfer calls on Saturday night, and got some exciting news. So, I am getting transferred to the Hedzranaweo Ward, and getting a new missionary from the Congo. He is not a new missionary, but new to the mission, so I'll have to show him how this mission works. We are both going to be new to the area, which should he fun. In our apartment, we have another companionship as well. One elder from the Congo is staying there, and he will be training a brand new missionary from the United States, so that should be fun. I'm a little worried about the move, but I'm sure it will be fine.

As for my companion right now, Elder Mahoungou, he will be staying in this area, and training a new missionary. That means that he will be in this area for about 7 months in total, which is why I was surprised that I was getting moved, and not him. Nonetheless, I know he'll be a great trainer, and he shouldn't have any problems. 

Other than that, things are going pretty good so far. I'm enjoying the work, and time is flying by, so I can't complain. I hope everyone is having a great summer, and a great day. 

Peace and blessings, 

Elder Orchard
