We all should
know that I have been Transferred. Yes I have left the Amasaman area. I
am sad to have left but I know that Korle Bu is the Ward I need to be in
now. It is quite an interesting area. For one, all we do is walk in
this area. I would bike if I could, but for a few reasons we don't. One,
the area is small enough we can walk, two, its hard to contact people
on a bike, and the last reason, all the bikes are broken and no one will
fix them (I would if I had the tools).
So we walk. And let me tell you that is painful at the moment.
In Amasaman we did walk, but it was on dirt, on sand. Now I am here and
I am on asphalt. A hard surface. Very painful. My feet kill right now.
NEVERTHELESS we press forward.
My Companion: His name is Elder Serassio. He has an
interesting back ground. His Dad's dad is from Ghana, and his mom is
from Italy. They met in the US and now my companion is in Ghana with me.
Elder Serassio or Yaw, as he likes to be called, is sweet. He loves to
GYM every morning. He does push ups sit ups all kinds of work outs every
day. It is sweet. It is inspiring to watch, as I eat my bread and egg
sandwich.
Korle Bu. I can describe this area by dividing the area in
thirds. 1/3 of the area is auto mechanic places and businesses like
that, and shops that line the street. Another 1/3 is the fruitful area
that we can actually do some decent work in.
Then
there is the last 1/3....This area is called the Zongo. Well, how to
best explain this....It is dense, heavily packed, Muslim area. Not to
worry it is perfectly fine area. Just the fact that there are Muslims
and it is kinda scary to walk through at night time. No worries! 
...pray for me!!!!!!!!!
The ward is super nice. They are small though. I wouldn't say that at church we had over 100 people.
However the ward seems to be moving. At least I hope so. The Bishop and
his councelors are less then a year old (in terms of serving).
Now I want to try something new. I want to start talking about the
people who actually come to church on Sunday. This week we were blessed
to have one come to church.
Her name is Jewel. She is a 19 year
old girl who is quite interesting. She has a great desire to join the
church. This Sunday she will be baptized into the Church. I am so
excited for her! The moment I met her she was just funny to be around. She is a spaz, as some could say.
So, there is my week in a nut shell. I do not know why I say nut shell
when I would die if I even touched one. Oh well. BYE BYE!!!!!
