I am heading, back to the office.  President called me on Saturday and shattered my plans for a nice long stay in Laterbiokorshie.  President asked me to be the new assistant in the mission.  I have really mixed feelings.  I'm pretty excited to go back to the office but I am nervous as ever.  I was shocked when he called me.  I never expected it.   I haven't slept much the last 2 nights.  I'm pretty excited though.  I'll be companions with my former companion Elder K. guess President split us up after 4 weeks for this reason.   We are both new but will be with the former AP for 3 weeks before he goes home and the other one goes tomorrow.  Good thing I got that international drivers license!  So I'll probably die  (aka Finish his mission) here.  That will actually be pretty convenient.  So I'll be driving again and have the AC too.  We're gonna have fun.  Especially because we have Christmas Conference in 3 weeks.  Awesome.  

Highlight of the week was the baptism yesterday.  It when really, really well.  We had a stake baptism that I organized.  The room was overflowing with people, we had special musical numbers and everything.  Very spiritual, very beautiful.  R. was baptized.  We saw him on Saturday and I was telling him that we were thinking that his neighbor, the guy that referred him to us, should baptize him but that he had the choice and he wanted to think about it.  Later he called be back and insisted that I baptize him.  So that was awesome although I left my clothes in the bathroom while I baptized him and somebody decided they needed the 25 cedis in my wallet more than me.   Not a big deal for me, I just feel bad for whoever it was.  I hope it was worth it.  It was a great baptism.  

The talk went really well on Saturday.  I spoke about a program we are trying to do in the mission of Christmas caroling.  I had 10 other missionaries come and we learned a simple Christmas song in Twi and sang that.  It was really, really cool.  They loved it.  Hopefully we can effectively use it in our proselyting.  Should be good.  

Stake conference was on Sunday.  It was an Africa wide broadcast that was recorded in SLC.  President Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar and Elder Gay (former Ghana Accra Mission President) spoke.  Each one had a slightly different topic but all of them very good.  I saw a bunch of my recent converts there too so that was awesome!  

Love you all!
