Out with the old, in with the slightly less old.

Hello blessed family and friends!

I am pleased to announce that Rex has received the Aaronic Priesthood! I'm super excited about that! He and Rose are both still going strong in the church and I don't foresee any major problems so...yay! #yay

Also, I'm finally done with training which means from here on out #anythingcanhappen at each transfer.  As for me, I'm staying here in Tamale. My dear companion, Elder Amakye, is going to spend his last transfer in Ofinso, which is an area near Kumasi. My new companion will be Elder Prior! #justwait

So Elder Prior is from Salem, and is also the cousin of Sister Morley. For those of you who don't know Sister Morley...Elder Prior is Rich Morely's (director of ALA) nephew. So...this should be fun. #connections My understanding is he goes home sometime in May or June, I think...hence my subject heading. #hence

As for the singing...we didn't really do any tracting this week, so I don't have anything to report. And the current state of our investigators has not changed...so...basically it was a slow proselyting week. We did have one experience that was pretty interesting, though...

We were just walking out of a lesson when we were approached by Naomi. She pulled the two of us aside and confessed that she had seen us come and go several times and that "God told her to speak to us." #finally The problem is that she is a student and left for school this week. And since her school is a boarding school (basically a prison) and doesn't let her leave for church on Sundays, we probably are never going to see her again. We ended up leaving her with a restoration pamphlet and a copy of the Book of Mormon and said to call us if she has any questions. It was basically all we could do. We were really disappointed.

Anyway...that's pretty much all the news I have for you guys today. I love you all.

P.S. I find it funny reading some of my friend's missionary emails and them talking about how they found a lizard or a rat in their apartments and I'm over here in Ghana chasing goats out of my kitchen. #3rdworldproblems
