Hello everyone! This week was sweet! It was a
very good, very tiring, and a very productive week. We have been
blessed this week with those that we have been able to see and visit
with. We have one sweet investigator, Benjamin, who we have been
working with quite a bit who is progressing really nicely... he simply
loves the things that we teach him. Maybe three or four years ago the
missionaries used to be teaching his family and him, but nothing ever
came of it. But right now he is 20 years old and he has plenty of
friends in the church. There have been quite a few other people that we
have been working with that look quite good. We have been getting
quite a few referrals but quite a few of them have been younger so we
are definitely planning to take our time with them. But things are
going up and up... just hope that I get to stay a little longer here.
This week we will have interviews with President Stevenson...
it will be my first time meeting him so I am very excited about that. I
am excited to see who our president will be for this next year. I
think that he will be good for this mission from the things that I have
heard so far. I think he is a little more technological as he has
already said that we need to write our president's letters online. But
we shall see. :)
On Saturday
we had a missionary fireside. It was something that the four of us
elders in the Kojokrom ward put on. Each of us took a bit of time on
trying to help them understand how the members can be more effective and
how they can best help the missionary work go forth. It was very
good. For me I taught about the how the members and directly help us
through teaching, referrals, among other things. But it went pretty
well even though it started over an hour late... Ghana standard time...
but it was good.
Today has been pretty sweet. We had a member, Julie, who wanted
to teach us how to make jollof rice so we went to their place and made
some jollof.... a ton of it... six cups of rice... so I am stuffed right
now, but it was really good. We had not been fed in quite some time
and in the past three days we have now been fed twice... fufu and
jollof. The members like us (at least I think so) and we are very
grateful for all that they do for us. We are very blessed to be able to
be in the ward that we are in. They are definitely trying to help in
this wonderful work.
