Finally Transferred! A Bitter Sweet Thing.

Mami Esi and Mami Abbina
As a Zone, we went to the Cape Coast Castle. This was my second time, but most of the group had never gone before. The tour guide was a lot better than the last one. After, as a district, we went and talked and played small on the beach. A sneaker wave came up and totally soaked 2 of the sisters...... oops. :)

While we were out trying to buy food, the rain just... appeared. Like Bah! There it is. So we ran for cover at Josephine's house. We got there just a little bit dry.... :)

Cleaning the font. :)
Two sister companionships instructed at District meeting: one was on Talents and the other on Humility. Quite lovely. :)

Teaching didn't really happen. Only Agnes and Josephine gave us time, but both of those lessons were stellar. Coordination meeting was nice. Anthony our WML (Ward Mission Leader) is becoming a lot more likable now that he's getting involved. :) He's a really cool guy. I like him a lot.

She loves me and I love her. :)
Wednesday, before we left, in our departure prayer we asked Heavenly Father to help those we've planned to see give us time and be free. 6 out of the 8 gave us time! God really does answer prayers when the desire is there.

Finally met with Ruth. She's a young mother of 17 years with a 7 month old baby girl. A drop-out of JHS and has rough English. But she has a sweet sincere desire to draw closer to God. She loves us missionaries and I know the Gospel will help her life in so many ways.

Sharing is caring ;)
It rained so heavy during the night, and then again in the morning. So everything was nice and cool all day. :) Simple mercies! Sister Barbara invited us to a young womens Stardards Evening activity. The focus was on the Sabbath Day. It was a nice activity and was good for the youth.

Castle tours
Friday began fine, by teaching lessons with Josephine, Ruth, and Emmanuel #3 -- there are 3 Emmanuels in the same house, and so we've decided to number them. :)

Oasis Beach
At lunch time though, it became less fine. We had fufu but the Mami used the same ladle to serve Groundnut soup and Palmnut soup, so.... unawares, I began to enjoy my little bowl of happiness when my body started telling me that it wasn't so happy.... eish. So we quickly finished and booked it to the house, where I took some meds, felt terrible, and stayed by the toilet the rest of the night. WOOOO! I love Peanut Allergies!!!! Eish.

Gotta love cannons :)
Just skipping all of Saturday day and going to the end. Transfer news!!!! I'm going to Asebu in Abakrampa! Yamoranza Zone. To be with Elder Kazimoto! He is actually Elder Masendi's TC. So that'll be interesting. :) The Yamoranza Zone comes to Cape every week to email though, so I'm not going too far. I'm going to miss everyone in Cape so much. I've grown so close to all of them that it'll be hard to leave. I especially love my converts. I will never forget them. :) Mission is short, so you need to cherish every moment while you're here.

Happy Easter! Holidays don't feel like holidays. I gave my farewell testimony in church. The way people were looking at me almost made me cry. Gahh, they are my second family in my second home. Mami Supa fed us Geloff for my last meal. We sat and visited with her for some time. Man, she'll be one of the ones I miss the most. She is my Ghanaian mother. I would like to adopt her and bring her home. :)
