(On Saturday) after a long day of waiting and deciding that Elder Ball
wasn't going anywhere for this transfer, we got a phone call telling us
that Elder Ball was going to a car area. Bummer!! I'm going to miss him.
We have had a lot of fun working together. I'll continue to send pics
as usual, but it's good to note that they won't be as cool without Elder
Ball's assistance and his cool camera skills.
So Sunday I proceeded to schedule appointments with all the Auxiliaries of the Wards so that whoever my new companion was going to be
can meet them. Now we have a full week - awesome!!!
That evening we stopped by some members Elder Ball wanted to visit
briefly. We had another Tongan food experience (they always feed us!
they're so awesome). This time we had food I can't even pronounce. It
was kind of cool that you mentioned having cooked bananas, Dad, cause
that's what they served us this time. They tasted like potatoes. Ha ha.
Monday morning we went and played soccer and had breakfast as a
zone. It was a fun way to end a transfer. One of our Zone Leaders went
AP (Assistant to the President). He's a great missionary and knows how to give great compliments and
has a positive attitude.
Now I'm with Elder Tomonori Baba. He was originally from Japan,
moved to Chicago when he was 10 years old, then to Montana, and then
went to school at BYU in Provo for two years before coming on his
mission. He's been out 7 months roughly and this is oddly only his
second area he's been in. He spent his first 7 months with four
different companions in Seaside - one of the coveted areas in the
mission right off of the coast. Ha ha.
