And the Children Came

Hello everyone!

Well this was the last week of the transfer and Elder Majdoub and I ended it on a good note. We were able to meet with all of our friends and had great lessons with all of them. It was nice to finally have a week where we were able to proselyte with both of us healthy and full of energy. 

On Saturday we had a stake primary activity, in which all of the missionaries were invited in our zone. The goal of the activity was to get the primary kids to go out with the missionaries and to go tracting with them. We got to the stake center and there were so many kids running around. At first I was thinking of how it was going to work with only 10 sets of missionaries. It was crazy but we split all of the kids up into groups. It ended up being that we had groups of 25-30 little primary kids with two missionaries. I was not looking forward to taking them all out into the busy streets of Ghana and being responsible for all of them. The Africans out here think differently then us Americans. In America we would have a lot more precautions and adult leadership to help us be safe. We would have to sign permission forms and just have more structure. But out here there is none of that. I just couldn't picture back home 2 missionaries going with 30 little primary kids on a road like Kenneth Avenue and telling the kids to do missionary work. But that's what we did, it was definitely stressful with all of the kids and no adults to help but soon I realized that it was okay out here in Africa. We gave each kid a restoration pamphlet and told them to talk to everyone and that everyone needed to give out at least one pamphlet. As soon as we left the church building the kids just started to run down the street, I needed to tell myself multiple times that it was okay haha just because I was not use to that. But the kids did great! They stopped everyone, literally everyone. They would go into the street and stop cars and talk to them about the plan of salvation. It was actually a really neat experience after all of the stress haha. But It turned out to be a great activity 

Nothing out of the ordinary happened apart from that but I did get a call Friday night from President..... He told me that he is calling me as a Zone Leader. It is neat to see how the lord prepares us for things in our life's. While Elder Flomo had Covid I went out with elder Sandoval and had to do "Zone leader" things. And while Elder Sandoval had malaria I went out with elder Flomo so the past three weeks I have had experiences to prepare me for this calling. Looking back I am grateful and have seen how the lord has prepared me. I don't know where I will be going yet, I think they will tell me on Wednesday. I will have to go to the mission office tomorrow morning early for my training so exciting things ahead!

I said all my good byes yesterday, all of my friends will be missed. I taught the primary one last time and bore my testimony in Sacrament meeting. It's sad leaving so many great people but I'm looking forward to the new experiences that I will have.

Thank you for all of the love and support, it means more then you know. I love all y'all so much and I hope you are all doing great back home. Keep safe and have a great week this week!

Love Elder Morgan
