WEEK
34 Already?! Time is going soooooooo
fast. haha!
Well, another
successful week here in the GKM. We had
transfers this week, which weren't the best. Hahaha! All the missionaries being transferred meet at
a place called Metro Mass in the middle of Kumasi. So, around 90 people show up
there and the Zone Leaders have to run the transfers, call taxis and pay for
them and all that crap! It was so stressful! But everything ended up being cool!
Personally, I got
to my new area Nkawkaw (pronounced Nko-Ko)
alright. Nkawkaw is an hour out of
Konongo and it is its own district with 4 branches. This area is cool! The Branch President is a stud. He asked us to focus on less-active members! The area is a lot like Techiman back in the
day! Our zone is super spread out and
one of the companionships doesn’t have a phone so we go over there like every
other day to see if they need anything and to collect their accountability!
A view from Nkawkaw. On the top of that mountain is Mpraeso, an area in our zone.
My new Companion
is Elder Johnson! He's from southern Utah! He's a sweet guy! No pic this time cause
we didn’t have time at church!
We also had
Leaders training which was cool! We were asked to look for a leader in the Book
of Mormon and see what he did well. I
decided to look at one of my favorite people in the Book of Mormon, Moroni, the
first Moroni, Captian Moroni.
In Alma 48 we get
a little description of Moroni;
11
And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect
understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul
did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from
bondage and slavery;
12
Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the
many privileges and the blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who
did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.
13
Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had
sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his
religion, even to the loss of his blood.
17
Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and
ever would be, like unto Moroni, Behold the very powers of hell would have been
shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power
over the hearts of the children of men.
SO… Moroni was
pretty sweet! Let us all try to be like
Moroni!
Well all is well!
I hope everyone is doing sweet!
Love you all,
Elder Turner
