Hey there Family and Friends!
This week I was able to receive my new companion and the new
district members. In our apartment currently there is My companion (Elder
Lekoko from Botswana) and I, and also the other companionship; Elder Maribana
(South Africa) and Elder Nielson (South Utah). So, there are four of us in the
apartment. The other apartment of missionaries is right next to the chapel
about ten minutes away in a taxi and there are also four elders in that
apartment as well. My companion is a cool guy. The only thing is that he is
quite and for me that is wahala (problem) because I need someone that I can
talk to and communicate. Maybe Heavenly Father wants me to close my yap and just
listen more.. maybe I will that a try.
This week was slow none the
less. Most of my time was spent contacting new people and "trying" to
teach them the gospel. I say try because now a days people are not wanting us
to discuss with them. The other part of my time was spent traveling to give
Baptismal Interviews. On Friday, I went up to the Mountains to give one
companionship two people. And on Saturday I went to Domeabra to interview the
Zone Leaders investigators for their baptisms as well. Domeabra is about 2
hours away just for the info. So this week was a bit tiring as you could
imagine but I am just trying to "Put my Shoulder to the Wheel" and
endure these hard times and embrace the sweet times when they come.
I love you all so much and I do
know that what I am doing out here in Africa can only help me and others that I
come in contact with. These experiences that I am having here in Ghana are...
priceless Even if the experiences are not spiritual like chickens riding on the
backs of goats or using a 19 century computer to email home. The time that I am
having is bittersweet.
God Bless you all and talk to you next week,
Elder Cornelius
