Our Area
Another week in Tamale in the books! I'm not gonna lie it was
probably the most tiring of them all! Contacting, contacting and more contacting!
All we did was try to find people! It’s a little more difficult out here as
well! All Muslim!! haha!
This week one of our members got a missionary paint job! We did it over two
days! None of us are pro painters so we didn’t know what was up. We
just started to put the primer on the walls. That stuff is thick!!! It
wasn’t until we did the whole house that we realized we needed to add water to
the primer!! hahahah!!! The second day was cool though. A
decent paint job! She was so happy though!
The Painting Crew
Like I said, this week we did a lot of contacting and who wants to contact?!?!
Like, here in Tamale it’s SPECIAL! I'm telling you. You can see so many crazy
things. We were talking to this lady and this euro
white dude comes up and says out loud, "Ask these guys if they believe
Jesus Christ is God?" I responded through the lady and said,
"Tell the man that we believe in God, our Heavenly Father and in his Son,
Jesus Christ and In the Holy Ghost." He responded through the lady and
quoted Isaiah chapter 9. It’s when it gives a lot of names of Christ. One of
them is the Everlasting Father. HE FORGOT THE PRINCE OF PEACE!! haha So I said,
“you forgot that one” and said, “We believe He’s the prince of peace. So why
are we arguing?!” I turned around and he was GONE!! Such a creepy
guy! so we ended up teaching the lady! Kinda funny!
Something I love about Tamale is contacting Muslims. We just get
right to talking about Jesus Christ. It’s awesome to see their reactions. Some
are very humble and want to know more, some just completely shut it down! But
they haven't heard our message. It is truly amazing to teach them
stuff they literally have no clue about. You can tell when it really touches
their hearts! The key is in the Plan of Salvation! They get so interested in
it! Especially the Atonement! I love teaching up here in Tamale!!!
Well it was a cool week!
Love to all!
