Hey all! This week has been a good, fun and
eventful week. We started off this last Tuesday by going to Takoradi
and having a Zone Conference. We met with President and Sister Shulz
and learned about our new mission president coming here next week,
President Stephenson. It was kind of like their farwell. It was sad to
say good bye to the Shulz but they have truly served and done a
marvelous work here in Ghana. When we were there Sister Shulz had us do
a little activity... she had us all blindfolded and then we had to hold
on to the rope and be lead by one of our leaders... there were many
things that got in the way, such as bushes, ditches, trees, and
whatnot... then at the end they lead us away and they told us to wait
for further instruction.... then people started singing "Come Follow
Me." So I went there. Sister Shulz compared the activity to life...
there will be trials and difficulties that we have to get through and
sometimes we can't see them coming or understand why we have to have them
but nonetheless... they come. But when we look to the Savior and follow
him and his ways, our eyes can be opened and we will see what we have
gone through and how the past, if endured well, has lead us to our
wonderful reward.
Then after the conference
on Wednesday
morning we went and weeded a plot of land for some of our members.
They are planing on building a house for them there... that was a lot of
fun. I always enjoy being able to do some physical labor and help the
people here... surely enjoyable.
Other than these things... not too much really happened this
week. We have been working hard to try to keep things going. The World
Cup has constantly been on people's minds here... they sure do love
their futball. But all is well. We had a very cool experience this
last week... we had this person we had been trying to see for quite
awhile, but she was never available so we had not tried as hard to see
her... but she called us last week and we were able to see her that
day.... The cool part is that we had received a referral earlier that
morning and it happened to be her younger sister and now we are able to
teach the both of them. A blessing from the Lord.
