Week 49 Tamale

WOW! What a busy time out here in Tamale! Its like crazy! Time just races past our faces right now!

  

This week we were able to go on an exchange up in the "promise land" of the great city of Bolgatanga. It’s just about as close as you can get to the northern broader of Ghana. Man.... That place is Africa, not the jungle... but more savannah. Wow... We had the "pleasure" of riding bikes! Hahaha! We were riding through plowed fields. It was so wild! There were mud huts. It was crazy!  The exchange was successful. Bolgatanga is a very successful area with plenty of people to teach.

As for Tamale, our area is progressing small small.  Since we were gone for a couple days, we weren't able to spend our full week in our area. It’s coming along small small.  We just do a lot of teaching and contacting straight from the Book of Mormon. The best Scriptures for Tamale are Mosiah 3:17, Mosiah 5:8, and Helaman 5:9-11. Hahaha!  They get straight to the point with the Muslims. No joking around here. 

We will be having a baptism this week for a guy named Michael Gakpo! He’s a dope guy, so sweet and very humble.  He is the adult son of the former Branch President.  He came home from school and wanted to be baptized.  So we are praying all goes well!

Anyway President Cosgrave left:( I haven't been able to talk to President Webster yet, since we are so far north. Maybe I'll give him a ring and say cheers.

I was studying the Book of Mormon this week and found quite possibly my favorite chapter.  2 Nephi 9... There is so much to learn out of that chapter, especially verses 21-23. Unreal!  I invite all to read those scriptures to learn about the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST! THE GOSPEL. Read the whole chapter! It’s awesome!! 

Anyway, no pictures this week!  I’ll get some for next week.  Love you all! Have a nice week!
