WOWZA! The fact
that I just wrote week 13 blows my mind! I'm also almost done with my training!
This transfer(in 2 weeks) will be crazy!! My companion and I came and white
washed an area, so we came together to Dwumoh. So we don't know who will go or
what! I always joke with him and tell him he'll stay in Techiman for the rest
of his mission. He gets bugged cause its the hard area in the mission. Anyway!
This week was good! We had some long hours!
Our progressing
investigators have been struggling to get baptized. We have 3 that are ready to
be baptized Brother Asante, Daniel, and Kwame. They are all ready and prepared
to be baptized, but they all have family issues. In Ghana, religion is a huge
part of their life. So their family and girlfriends all want them to come to
their church, when they know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints is true. It’s very hard because as a missionary your main goal is
baptism. With these guys, we've done everything we can to prepare these guys
for baptism. Now its up to them to find a way to let their families let them be
baptized. It's cool to think that we've at least converted these three guys to
the Church. It's sad to think that one thing is preventing them from being
baptized. So we hope that we can get them baptized within the next two or three
weeks.

The food is good
here. Somewhat... Lets just say we can get it down. I don't exactly crave it
haahahha! But it’s ok. Something that's gross here is Cow skin. I tried to eat
it but I immediately spit it out and luckily the investigator wasn't there,
cause I threw it in the bush! ahhaha! The
food is ok!
We got into it
with a Jehovah Witness pastor twice this week. The first time I was on exchange
with our Zone leaders. We went and sat
down on his porch and he got right into telling us how our gospel isn't true
and what we teach isn't true. No matter what you say this guy will try to say
its wrong. Everything that he said we
confounded him as well and still wouldn't believe hahaha. So the second time my companion wanted to meet
him. I told him I wasn't gonna say a word cause no matter what you say you
won't convince him. We went in again and
the exact same thing happened. It got to a point where I just stood up and left!
I wont be going there again!
Something that
stood out to me this week was 2 Nephi 32:3-5. Man those scriptures are sweet! Basically
what it tells you is to feast upon the words of Christ and have the Holy Ghost
and they'll tell you all things what you should do!
Everyone please go
read them! I know that if you apply what it says you'll see the blessings!
I hope everyone is
doing well! I love all of you!
