The One and Only Kwamo

Hey family and friends,

This week has been a crazy and amazing one. The first week in an area is always crazy but especially when it is Kwamo. Things out here are so productive and busy we are either running to appointments or teaching. We have two wards with a lot of powerful members. It is hard to remember which ward a member goes to, but there are definitely a lot of members to choose from to come out with us and to fellowship our investigators which is definitely a plus. The ward members are giving us so much help and love that I am actually getting a feel for the missionaries back home. One of the members in Ward 1 named Ma Gina feeds us every single night! It is absolutely amazing. We are receiving so many referrals from the members that it is hard to keep track of them all. We already had like five potential investigators to follow up on, and then yesterday at church we received another five referrals. People here are so serious about sharing the gospel that the work is always moving forward.

After driving in a car, having a/c and being close to the mission president for six months I have kind of forgotten what it is like to be an actual missionary. I am now back riding in a tro-tro with the sun casting down like fire and with some seriously slow internet. But, it is by far the best place to be. If they gave me the option to go back to the office, I wouldn't want to go. I feel so much more in tune with the spirit and experience so many more things out here. 

My new companion is named Elder Smith. He is from Rexburg, Idaho and will be going home at the end of this transfer. We are having a great time together in this zone and area. He has been a seriously great mentor and teacher already. We are having a lot of fun and making the work super great and the days are flying by so fast.  

Honestly, Kwamo will probably be my favorite area yet. It is full of great people and a lot of fun and hard work.
