8/30

Hey guys, it sounds like most of you are doing well. I hope that
everyone is having fun getting adjusted to school, work, and there new
homes. Time seems to be going so fast lately and its kinda scary,
because it doesn't seem like its going to slow down any time soon.
This week has been really good. The 1st Pres. has come up with
another change in the mission program that may change things almost as
much a preach my gospel did that is stating this month. In it there is
a lot more training done by the mission president for the
missionaries. They are also taking away the zone conferences every
transfer, and making them every other transfer. They are focusing on
about 7 topics from preach my gospel and it looks like they are just
going to drill those into us as missionaries so that we can learn them
really well. There seems to be other changes, but at this time I'm not
really sure what they are other than tomorrow at about 5:30 I've got
to leave my comp and my area to go and get trained for three days in
cape coast. Ill be coming back every night and leaving every morning
at the same time, which does not seem like the smartest thing, because
Its a 2 hour tro-tro ride one way. Thats OK though, because I'm sure
its what God wants for us as a mission. Other than that, this week has
been really normal. We had a service project at the church where we
went through and did a really deep cleaning on the chapel, which I
would guess has not been cleaned in quite a few months. Yesterday, the
branch asked us to be in charge of what they called missionary Sunday.
We called 2 recently returned missionaries from the branch and asked
them to give talks. All of the missionaries blessed and passed the
sacrament with some of our recent converts. We had everyone who had
ever served a mission stand up in sacrament meeting and sing Called to
serve. The best thing that we did though, was an idea from Elder
Baron. We got a box and decorated it up nice and fancy, and then we
made slips of paper and handed them out to the entire branch and told
them that we wanted them to right down their names and phone numbers
and the names and phone numbers of at least one of there friends. It
went really well, and we actually got quite a few referrals from it. I
know that God is looking out for us and am happy to be his servant.
Love you all lots
Ty
