This week was yet another great week here in the GKM! Elder Mbithi and I had MLC this week. Sounds like a solid time, right? Then you gotta think about the bus rides from
one end of the country to the other! Ha! At least it’s a better drive than the one from
Utah County to St George.... My
companion and I got stuck in Kumasi because the bus back to our area was to
full, so we had to wait an extra day.
MLC was cool. We learned
a lot about what “DIRECTION” we face and how it’s the most important factor
getting from where you are to your destination. Think about it.... If I'm
driving somewhere that I want to get to and even if I’m driving a crappy car
and it breaks down I can get it fixed, and eventually, in time, I will get to
my destination if I know my direction. If
I don't know how to get there or the direction I am going there is no way I
will get to my destination.... So yeah, think about what direction you are
going or facing in an eternal perspective.
Me With Elders Mbithi, Sunday and Hanks
This week we literally got to proselyte a total of 10 hours in
our area. But it was a pretty effective 10
hours to say the least. We contacted some new people so that was cool! We also met a guy, James. This guy asks like 3 questions like super,
super fast and expects you to answer all of them hahaha! It felt
like he was asking these questions to disprove us, so I had him read 2 Nephi 29:6-9. It starts off saying;
"Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a
Bible,"
He immediately paused and reread it like three times. I invited him to continue reading and he did! It think he was like in shock at how TRUE it
was. He committed to read and have us come back.
We also had something cool happen on Sunday. We had an older
member lady bring 2 young boys to church.
One is 12 and the other 10. I didn’t catch their names ha! I think one
is Claytus, but we are going teach them. I guess they are here for school and it was their
G-Ma who brought them. So hopefully we
can teach them, but the problem is that the compound that they stay in is a
little whack... We got strict orders from our Branch President not to go there!
I think the plan is that we'll teach them at the chapel.
We had a member in our branch get denounced from her family. We
went to her house and she shared with us a scripture that was helping her
through this tough time. It’s from Doctrine and Covenants 101:36.
"Wherefore, fear not even unto death; for in this world
your joy is not full, but in me your joy is full."
Pretty cool! Anyway, I hope life is cool wherever you might
be!
