Elder Malachi Morgan: Transfers and a New Companion

Hello everyone!!!

I hope you are all doing well back home. I am doing great out here in Kwamo. We are still staying very very busy and the new companionship is working out well. Like I mentioned last week we had transfers this past Wednesday. Elder Donkor left and my new companions name is Elder Majdoub. He is a Ghanaian just out of training and he is a stud. We get along really well and have fun. It's nice to switch things up every once in awhile. One of our zone leaders left the apartment and so we got a new zone leader as well. His name is Elder Sandoval and he is an American! He is from Utah and came back out here to Ghana in December. It is super nice living with another American, it's been nice to talk with him and get to know him better. I like the new dynamic of the house. But that's about it for transfer news.

This past week I have just been showing my new companion around our area and to the many people we are teaching. They have been busy days, which I don't think my companion is used to haha. We do a lot of walking and let's just say he wasn't walking in his last area. So it will take a bit of time for him to get used to it, but I love it. I love the hard work and long days, I can't speak for my companions though. We have about 6 or so people that we are preparing to be baptized. Hopefully we will put most of them on date to be baptized this coming week.

Anyone know why Ghanaians love cow skin, and cow intestine? I have no clue, but I get to eat it a couple times a week as it seems to be their favorite. The friends we are teaching are super fun though, we love them. We are actually teaching 3 sets of twins at the moment. All of which speak English so I am enjoying teaching them.

Elder Majdoub's dad came to Kumasi for a conference and we got permission to go and see him from the mission president. We went on Saturday and took a tro tro to go see him. We talked for a bit, and his mom sent his dad with a package of food for us to take home so that was nice. Unfortunately it was full of foods I am not used to liking such as sardines and canned fish and other things. But they did pack some biscuits and drinks so I was happy about that. It was nice meeting his dad though, my companion definitely enjoyed seeing him.

Anyways it is still hot as heck out here but it actually has been raining so it has cooled down just a bit, not enough for me to stop sweating but enough to feel a difference.

I hope you are all doing swell and enjoying life back home. Thanks for the emails and for the love and support it means a lot. Have a great week this week!

Love Elder Morgan
