What a fast week.
These days my companion and I are just Ghana travelers. Two weeks ago we went to Bolga, last week to Sunyani,
and this week to Kumasi and back to Bolga. Next week we go back to Kumasi again. So yeah…
Basically we are just a senior couple! But for the small time we have to go out
and work, things are going ok!
This week we were
able to meet our new Mission President! President Webster! Man, he is an
awesome guy! He has such a great attitude coming into his mission! He is a very
humble and loving guy! He's got fire, a loving fire! It’s so awesome and I'm excited to see how
everything goes for the next year!
Elder Barnum and I
were able to have a Baptism this past Saturday! Michael Gakpo. He’s 17 and he
is so POWERFUL! He was confirmed on Sunday. After church we stopped by his house and he
asked us if he could come out with us... OK?!?! NO PROBLEM! When he came to work with us it wasn't like we
had to que him up or tee it up for him.
He just got to it. He saw his
buddy, Ernest, who is a Christian on the side of the road and talked to him! It turns out his entire family are Christians!
Then he found another lady for us! That’s also powerful! He’s the Miracle worker!
Me, Michael Gakpo and Elder Barnum
When we were in
Sunyani this past week, we started our meeting with a hymn #219 Because I Have
Been Given Much. I remember very faintly
singing it in like sacrament as a kid or something. It just might have to be one of my new
favorite hymns! The opening line just HIT me....
Because I have been given much, I
too must give
The song continues
to say:
Because I have been blessed by thy
great love, dear Lord,
I'll share thy love again, according
to thy word.
I shall give love to those in need;
I'll show that love by word and
deed:
Thus shall my thanks be thanks
in-deed
Unreal! Being in Africa....
I can honestly say I have been given a lot! Everyone has! So share the love! Even the love of the Lord!
Everything is cool
out here in Tamale... just grinding to build our teaching pool!
Love,
Elder Turner
