Hey everyone! Hope you all are enjoying this time of the year where it
is just getting hotter and hotter.... well I guess for you colder and
colder ;) Hope everything is well and this Holiday season is a great
one for all! So Ghana has been sweet... we have been pretty busy in the
office trying to get everything taken care of as missionaries are
getting Christmas packages, preparing for the Christmas devotional and
the fact that I am the only office elder right now.... can be a little
stressful at times but I am figuring things out :) But it has been fun
and interesting being in a threesome again but this time I am 'that'
third companion... it is way fun though... Elder Cavaness and Elder
McKeon are sweet elders. This week we took a little adventure and went
to Forth Ridge which is like a 45 minute walk... it is in our
proselyting area and we had a refferal from the bishop of the Moree
Ward. The man we taught over there was very nice... and it was also the
richest person in Ghana that I have ever been at their house and
taught. We actually sat on chairs around a table... he heard about the
church about 12 years ago and wanted to join but then he moved to
Tamale, which is northern Ghana, and the church hasn't there yet. Now
that he is back down here he wants to join the church and hopefully we
can help him be converted unto the Lord!
So a scripture that I really like that I have read recently read is D&C 11:21...
it says that must first know the things that we teach before we teach
them. We must be converted unto the Lord before we can truly convert
others... we can't convert others beyond our own conversion. It is so
important to have a testimony for ourselves. As we help our knowledge
grow, then we will be able to help others come closer to God.
So I love you all! And take care!!
Elder Trevor Walston
