This week was pretty nice and busy. Elder Hoffman and I spent every minute to every day contacting and find new people to teach. The problem that we faced was the language barrier. To overcome that barrier we took our Branch Mission leader out with us to translate while we teach, but we have found out that even if he translates for us, the people will always need to hear the message in Twi. So, if they are serious enough to come to Church and see that it is in half English and half Twi, they will not like it and only understand half of it. Also, these people usually can't read English or Twi so they will never be able to read the Book of Mormon which is a key ingredient to someone's conversion. So, while Elder Hoffman and I were contacting we were trying to find people who could speak English and also read...and this was no easy task when we are located in the bush part of Ghana.
Elder Hoffman and I are getting along just fine. It turns out he is as small town boy and loves country so you could imagine how we can connect easily. I am happy that we also can talk openly with each other...or even talk with each other at all. It is nice to have someone that you can talk to.
I am doing great here in Nkawkaw and I am making new friends by the minute. I will try to upload some pictures of my area and the mountain that is nearby us.
I love you guys all and hope you all have a great week.
