We received official word today from the mission president letting us know that Elder Brooks has arrived. He is serving in the Blankro 2nd Branch area in the Agboville District. His companion is Elder Lawrence from Nigeria. We will hear more on his next P-day, which is Monday.

When the Elders arrived at the mission office they played a game to guess which area they would be assigned to by pointing at an opening on the white board of missionary assignments. Our family saw the picture on the mission blog and started trying to figure out where it was from a blurry picture. We then found out it was just a game. But he was one of two Elders who guessed right!

Many thanks to Sister Ann Lewis from Orem who is serving in the mission. She and her husband arrived the same day as the other new missionaries and she sent me some pictures of Elder Brooks and his companion before we received an official letter.
