This week was good. Elder Lindsay was transferd and Elder Achola (23), from Kenya, is my new companion. He is at 14 months on his mission and has a reputation of hard work and to transform struggling areas into places of strength. His strength is definitely seeking for and using the spirit in lessons and I need to learn a lot from him. He is bringing many changes into our companionship, area, and zone, and while I honestly don't agree with all he says, I know it is the best thing to do because I know he is using the spirit. I need to humble myself and allow the spirit to take control. We also had three other transfers in the district and in summary - removing all the Nigerians and replacing them with an Ethiopian and two Americans. One of the Americans is new to Ghana and is being trained by Elder Olumatete. Elder Tribe is from Lindon, Utah and is a really cool guy. It's fun to talk to him as I feel that we have many things in common. Investigators who came to church: Mary, her husband, and her two children came to church with the desire to see the bishop on what they can do in order to become civily married as Mary wants to join the church. The other man is named Joseph who learns a bit slower, but we feel that he feels the spirit of our message. Elder Achola is teaching me how to teach towards commitments in order to bring more people to church using the spirit.
I think that's all about my week. I know this transfer will be one of growth and success.
