Hey everybody. I hope you guys are all doing great. This week we had our transfers, but in the whole zone no one was transferred except one of the zone leaders. That means everyone in our apartment is still the same. It also means Elder Quinn and Elder Darko have broken the record for companion unity as they are now going to be SIX transfers together. That seems like forever to me. Coincidentally that's how many transfers I have left before coming home. This week we tried to focus on finding and extending baptismal dates, but we struggled to do both. Most of the dates we extended were turned down, and we struggled to find new people to teach as well. It was pretty discouraging. Other than that the week was ok. On Saturday we had a baptism for Koku Mensah. He's 20 years old and comes from Togo, so the only languages he speaks is French, Ewe, and English. We contacted him last month and he's really progressed fast. On sunday his little sisters followed him to the church. On saturday we also received a cool announcement. That we'll be having a mission tour with Elder Dallin H. Oaks tomorrow! I'll let you know all about it next week. Love you guys. Enjoy the winter weather. Love, Elder Chambers
