We have had such a crazy fast week with a lot of things
happening! It was another successful week in Berekum! We had many people to
follow up on from the past weeks and were still able to find some new people to
teach this week. My companion and I had 7 people come to church this
week. So that’s great!
Elder Morisho and I have been teaching a man named Isaac who has
been progressing nicely towards baptism.
When we saw him this week he told us that he just wants to come to the
church and not be baptized. We couldn’t
figure out what his reasoning for this was. We told him that he needed to be baptized so
he would receive the Holy Ghost and be able to feel the spirit all the time,
but he just wasn't picking up on it. We explained
the situation to our Branch President.
He sat down with him and apparently just "layed" it on him. Isaac came out of this interview with a big
smile and told us he wants to be baptized! Sweet! December 22nd is his date!! We are praying everything works out.
We got a referral from Church Headquarters this week. A guy
named Clinton was referred from a member in the US over Facebook. I thought that
was cool. This lady in the US was trying to promote her business and the got
talking about the gospel. Clinton wanted
to learn more! Our first lesson was very spiritual. Like, crazy spiritual! I think the guy was prepared for our message! He really doesn't know much about the Bible or
anything religious, so it's nice to teach someone without any apostate doctrine
in them! Hahahaha! It's just crazy how
everything unfolded with this referral. It
makes me think of how the Lord works in mysterious ways for the Salvation of
his people!
This week I was reading in Helaman and 3 Nephi. I love what
Christ says to the Nephites in the Darkness.
"14 Yea, verily I
say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold mine
arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I
receive; and blessed are those who come unto me."
I just think that is a great verse of scripture! Think about
it!!
I love you all! Get into the Christmas spirit both fun and
spiritual!!
