From Apr. 16, 2012: Zone Leader in Adenta

Monday evening I was called to replace Elder Jones as a zone leader and become companions with Elder Lindsay over the Adenta zone. As my previous area was 20 minutes away from my new one, it was convenient to take a taxi for 6GH to my new apartment. It was nice being called as Elder Andrew Kirk Lindsay's companion as we have served around each other, so it's fun serving with a friend. 
  Tuesday we were just told the transfer news where Elder Cosper would replace me. Elder Cosper came to the mission the same time as I did so it will be fun to serve around him too. 
  Wednesday I went to my new apartment and went to the mission home for transfers. Elder Lindsay is from Orem, Utah and came to Ghana six weeks before I did. The apartment is bult for six and is one of the only ones to have hot water. It's a nice place just like New Legon. Along with Elder Lindsay I now live with another Elder from Utah, one from Kenya, and two Nigerians. One of the great things about serving in Ghana is that I have lived and served around missionaries from a wide variaty of African countries. For the rest of the week day Elder Lindsay and I worked hard, but enjoyed every moment of it. We have a lot of work to do to help this area and ward and I don't know what I am able to really bring to the table, but I feel that I can be a positive example of working hard, smart, and pure through my example, love, and service. We met many great people contacting, though we will readjust our efforts this week to utilize the recent converts and less active members in our finding.
  Sunday we were able to bring two people to church. One didn't have any clean clothes to wear for church so Elder Lindsay and I were able to get some for him to borrow for his baptism next Saturday.
