The Adenta Weekly

Thanks for all the updates, it sounds like every one is doing well for the most part. I hope that Nate's family gets better, that doesn't sound fun. This week was transfers and our apartment had a lot of changes. Elder Mutuku from Kenya is training Elder Joseph from Nigeria. Elder Akak from Nigeria is training Elder Egerie from Nigeria. Elder Jones and I are staying the same this transfer. He is a great guy and we love working together so it should be another fun transfer. This week we have a mission tour with Elder Satati on weds. Then on Saturday we will have the baptism of Bright and Richard. They were both interviewed yesterday and they are excited for their baptism. We also had our best sacrament attendance since the time I came, so i'm pretty happy about that. On friday we had our monthly meeting with the District Leaders. I can't remember if I told you guys the story that President Judd told us when he sat in a council with the Presidency of the seventy and the Twelve apostles. (Its really fun to learn from a mission President who has had so much interaction with the brethren.) Anyways in the story he told us, we learned about the importance of councils. So this time instead of having the normal old instruction we did our best to make it into a council. There were still some things we needed to get up their and say but for the most part we talked about our strengths and our weaknesses. The best part is their was one Elder that has been worried about his new duties but we were all able to share experiences. We felt the meeting was much more beneficial then our past ones.

We are really looking forward to upcoming month, we are hoping it will be a great one so well keep our fingers crossed. Thanks for all the love and prayers, It has really helped me. This past transfer wasn't the easiest one. I've had to stick up a lot for whats right and for doing what we should because with 6 six elders in one apartment things can get pretty crazy sometimes. I love having fun, but sometimes my fun comes from being that Elder that doesn't want to have fun..(If you know what I mean) Things should improve anyways with two new missionaries in the apartment. As always I'm doing my best to make sure there are no empty chairs at the table! Love you all

P.S. In the Cafe today someone was listening to the NBA highlights, I guess Jimmer Dropped 22 points. Not too bad for a rookie
