9/20

Well it sounds like a lot has happened over there that I had no idea
about. That's cool that dad was made a bishop and that everything is
going well with the rest of the family. I wish you all luck with
everything that is going on.
Well today is the day that we find out about transfers, and I didn't
think that I would have anything to worry about because I have only
been here for 1 transfer, but Pres Sabey gave me a call a few hours
ago and told me something that really surprised me. The mission has
only gone as far north as Kumasi, which was my last area, and there
have never been missionaries farther north than that in Ghana before.
Pres. asked me to be one of four missionaries to go up past Kumasi to
a place named Sunyani and to open the mission up there. Right now Im
really excited and really nervous about the whole thing. Its a good 2
hour plus farther north than any other area in the entire mission, and
there is no branch or anything. We will have to start the church
there. If I understand it right, my knew companion is named Elder Iaem
(Im not sure if I spelled that right), who is a Ghanaian from Accra.
He was trained by Elder Whaikawa who also trained me. So if you are
talking like a missionary, me and my big brother are going to be
companions in opening a new area of the mission. My new comp. is going
home in 2 transfers though, so we probably will not be together very
long. This transfer also means that once again I am going to miss out
on a way sweet baptism that will take place this Saturday. I hope that
it all goes well. Once again im really excited about going, but Im
really sad to leave. I feel like the area was really starting to pick
up here in Swedru, and we were getting a lot of serious investigators.
I guess that that is just the way the work is sometimes. Right now Im
so flustered with everything that is going on that I guess I just cant
think of anything to right about, so I think Ill just cut it short
today. I love you guys and always remember you in my prayers. Please
dont forget about you favorite missionary in Africa right now when you
say your prayers. LOVE Ty
