The Bed, The Tooth, and Lots of Pure Awesomeness Sprinkled with Dopeness

Hey All!

Man oh man oh man, this week was just awesome. Just pure awesomeness sprinkled with some dopeness. I had such an awesome week! I am glad to be back in Sierra Leone and working with a new zone and companion! We put in lots of good work this week and I am excited for this new week.

The two Elders that came with me to Ghana had left on Saturday and I was in Ghana until Tuesday because of my tooth. I went to the dentist on Monday night and got it all fixed up! I don't believe it was a root canal but just a bad cavity, they did some good work and left my whole mouth numb for the next few hours. I was so happy to get it done, because now it is really feeling a lot better! I then flew out of Ghana back to Sierra Leone the very next day. It was pretty funny because when I reached the Airport, there were 3 new missionaries coming to Sierra Leone so I got to sit with them and answer any questions they had! It just reminded me about the time I first came to the mission and all the thoughts I had when flying there. 

This is the bed and hotel room that I slept in while I was in Liberia. It may not seem like  much, but my oh my that was a good night sleep.

We then arrived in Sierra Leone and were taken to the Mission Home and slept there for one day. 

We left for Bo that next afternoon and I met my new companion Elder Quaisie. We came to the mission at the same time and I am so excited to be companions with him, he is from Ghana!

This week has just been tons of planning for the Zone! We made some really awesome Zone Goals and had a meeting with all the District Leaders to talk about them and add or subtract anything. We came to some awesome conclusions and I am so excited to see how they are put into practice. 
We have already had some trouble with companionships not getting along and so we have been running around trying to make sure everything cools down and is getting resolved. It has been kind of a lot of work but I am really grateful for the opportunity to serve with these good guys. 

I have come to find out that most of the problems we can get is just from our own pride! It has just been a really good learning lesson for me to work on humbling myself and working with the Lord's guidance. He knows best!
The Simbaru area has been a tough area for a long time, not a lot of people to teach and not too much progress with the ward or with baptisms. Elder Quaisie and I are determined to stop this trend! We worked hard this week and were able to get 13 people to Church yesterday, the Lord really does help His missionaries. It is just gonna be so awesome to see what will happen this transfer. The only thing that I am worried about now is that the Assistants will be coming to Bo to do an exchange with us in our area and I have only been here for 5 days!! I know that the Lord will answer my prayers and help me. The Lord really is just so good to us! He has given me strengths and also lovingly urges me to work on my many weaknesses. I really do love Him and the way that he helps me everyday become better and when I falter on the path, he helps me to do better and be better. I love Him!

Thanks everyone and we will see you next week!
