Well! This week
was ok! Nothing much happened. Like, not anything super exciting. Other then it
was my last week in the 3! YEEEEEEEEE BOI! Don't give me wrong, the 3 is cool
and all, but I was getting tired walking around two areas. Seriously! Walking
back and forth between areas here in Dwumoh is not easy at all. At the end of
the day you are completely dead. So
tomorrow I'll go and finally pick my only begotten, Elder Dago! Time to get my French boy
on. Maybe I'll pick up a nice accent.
Anyway, this week at church I
had the chance to teach the Elders Quorum. I didn't teach though. For the past
week I've been hearing a lot of complaining here around Techiman, but
especially in our branch, about how members aren't coming. So I sat down and
got them in a circle and told them how it's not the missionaries or the Branch Presidents
fault (because we were taking the blame.) I told them that it’s the members in the
church, and the people I'm looking at, the Elders. But I was very nice about it
and all. I told them all of the missonaries
successes comes from them. So we came to the conclusion that we'd start a Home
Teaching program type thing in our branch. I hope it works! The members are really getting motivated to
bring members back which was a good thing.
This week after a nice tasty
bowl of FUFU I got a little sick! Getting sick in Ghana is freakin' stressful!
hahah! It ended up passing over one day but man I was thinking I had Malaria!
This week something hit me. In
Alma 32 it talks about faith. In verse 28 it starts comparing faith unto a
Seed. Elder De carvalho, my companion for 24 more hours, being a motivational
speaker, changed the "WORD" to "DREAMS" Read it and change
"compare the word unto a seed" to "compare the dream unto a
seed" at the beginning of verse 28! It’s the Coolest thing ever!

ReplyDeleteOs missionários precisam de comer....Sempre me lembro que tenho um filho na Missão quando dou de comer aos Missionários.
Obrigada por terem postado essa foto. Não há dúvidas de que a Missão é a melhor escola. Viva a Tropa de Jesus Cristo!
