Well, compared to seeing a million crazy cool things in Korea, having
spooky storie with a t-rex, coming up with a way to buy and deliver 45
turkeys to everyone in the ward, and grading a bunch of papers, I
guess that my week was dull. On the other hand, if you compare it to
the rest of the mission that Ive had so far, its been really eventful.
On weds. me and my new comp, Elder Ayim made our way to the mission
home, where we got to have a free dinner, take a shower with hot water
and sleep in air conditioning for the first time in a year. We were
interviewed by Pres. Sabey as a group, with two other missionaries
about going to out new area. Sunyani is the farthest north that the
church has ever gone in Ghana. They are starting two units here at the
same time and in the next few weeks they plan to open up two more. We
are organizing it like that so tht we cn start with a bang, and at the
same time we will be able to have a place of worship within an half of
an hour of every one in Sunyani. After that on thursday we drove for
about 6-7 hours with the mission Pres. for him to take us to, and show
us around to our new area. The next day was spent trying to figure out
the are and contacting like crazy. There are about 15 members in the
area that were baptized down south and then moved up here, who we were
able to find and tell them that we are here. They and the area are so
ready for the gospel. After only contacting for about two days, we had
6 people come to church after hearing of it for the first time.On
Sunday we had the best service that I have had in my life.We met at
our appartment and next week we will be holding it at two of the
appartments. It was done completely by the missionaries, because we
had no idea about who would acttualy keep their promise to come to
church and could not give any assignments. For Sacrament meeting me
and my companion each talked about Christs church and the apostasy,
along with the restoration, and after for sunday school, the other
elders tald about the book of mormon. The Spirit was really strong
throughout the whole service and after we had multiple of the
investigators say something like "I can see how your church would be
muh more benificial to my salvation than my church is", or like " I
really feel as though God has helped us to meet" After church we went
out and did some more contacting and were able to meet a lot more
people. In two and a half full days of contacting we have had about 15
lessons and 14 new solid investigators. I know that God is blessing us
so much and am so gratfull for all that he has done for us. THanks for
your prayers, I can feel them and know that God is answering them for
me on this end. Im still remembering you in myprayers and hope that
all goes well with you. Love you lots and cant wait to here from you
ext week.
