Week 24 Techiman

Well, this week was just kinda boring, honestly.  It went by sooooo fast.  That’s how it is out here.  We email Monday, mid-week on Wednesday, church on Sunday, email Monday.... like it just goes by soooo fast! 

This week was okay with the teaching. Our recent convert, Ernestina wanted to come and proselyte with us. Of course, we said, “yes, no problem!” We kill for members to beg us to come and teach. Hahaha!  We went to pick her up and took her to meet with members that are less active.  She did so well!  She asked them if they were a member and the member would say, “yes.” She would then say, "I've never seen you there." Hahaha!  But she helped us a lot and was very outgoing. She’s 17 now, she says she wants to serve a mission of her own. I was so happy and shocked when she said it. She’s truly converted to this gospel.

Also, we had two young men in our branch receive their mission calls. Victor and Samuel. They are both going to Nigeria.

This week we expanded our teaching pool a little. So that was good! We were teaching an investigator about the temple and baptisms. He has been taught by the missionaries for a long time so he knows a lot. He had never heard about the temple. So we told him about Family History and baptisms for the dead. Man, it was so cool to tell him about it. He just knows it was the right thing when I showed him Doctrine and Covenants 137 and 124:29-38.  Not only did it enlighten him, but me as well. After that lesson I knew that God and Jesus Christ loves us so much to give us temples.

Anyway, President Monson passed away this week. Man I was in shock, also crushed. Everyone should find the time to watch "On the Lords Errand: The Life of Thomas Monson.  That man was no doubt a Prophet of God.

Love you all!
