Hey Family and Friends
This week was nothing special except that we received
transfer news on Saturday night. But before I talk about the big news, let me
review the days preceding Saturday.
Monday I went to Kumasi and saw tons of missionaries around and it was nice to be able to greet them and know they are doing fine. It reminded me of civilization again haha, but I do enjoy being in the bush/village.
Tuesday - was district meeting. I instructed the District on
working with members and branch leaders to progress the work. It seems that is
the biggest challenge in the Ghana branches. The members do not want to go out
with the missionaries and be fellow shippers to the investigators and new
members. The goal is to become more effective and efficient missionaries even
if we teach a lower amount of lessons. This upcoming Sunday we will be having a meeting with the branch presidency and will discuss these matters and we will
see what they say.
Wed - Friday . . .just normal proselyting days. Nothing much.
Saturday - In the evening I got
a call from the Zone leaders giving me the district's transfer news. So it turns
out that only one of the elders in the district is being transferred and he is
going to Tamale haha. So I will be in Nkawkaw another transfer with my
companion. The apartment is still the same 4 elders.. so nothing really changed
for us. But it will be another transfer with new beginnings and new goals.
Today two of the missionaries
in our apartment traveled to Kumasi to buy some things so the apartment was
nice and quite and I was actually able to relax small and take a nap. You know
me and my naps... it is a must every now and then haha.
Things are going pretty well in
Nkawkaw. Their are challenges but nothing that cannot be overcome. It is a
good learning experience and I am looking forward to coming out on top because
of these experiences here. I love the gospel and know that it is as true as me
breathing right now. As long as I live I will know and testify that this Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true and living church of the
Father. Jesus Christ is my savior and friend. I am grateful for what he has
done for all of us and for the real redeeming power that can be felt from day
to day. I love all of you and am thankful for those who support me in this
decision to serve the people of Ghana by giving them the gospel for their
salvation sake. God bless you all and have a wonderful week. Look for the
blessings that are given to you whether big or small... but trust me they are
there
