It was a busy week here in the GKM. We had Elder Dube from
Zimbabwe come to our mission! What a cool experience it was! He is such an
amazing guy, full of energy and so much love for the gospel.

Well we started off our mission tour in Tamale and worked our
way down to Kumasi. The meetings in Tamale
were awesome! We had 20 missionaries
there for a mission meeting, so it was a small group. We also had a big devotional for the members
of the Tamale District (a district is similar to a stake). It was great to see
all the members in my old area. Things
are going well for Tamale! I miss that
place!
After Tamale, we moved south to Sunyani and then on to Kumasi. There
were three zone conferences in this mission tour but all of them were soooooo
different! Elder Dube hit the same
points each time but in different ways, using different scriptures tailored to
each group! Elder Dube knows the
scriptures like the back of his hand! This motivates me to be just like that!
hahah!
The things are Elder Dube taught were very basic. He focused on
the little things that aren't really being applied out here in our mission. He talked a lot about contacting. He reminded
us how easy it actually is to contact someone and talk to them about the gospel
here in Ghana. He helped the members and missionaries alike to understand that
missionary work is natural and comes from the heart. It shouldn't be something that you aren't
familiar with doing, just natural.
He also talked a little bit about being ONE PEOPLE! UNITY! If we are not one, we are not of God. A
plain and simple scripture! Christ prayed
that we could all be one! So please, love your neighbor!
This week was just a crazy week. We are glad it all went
well!
The teaching pool is still there! People are still progressing
and coming to church! Just a matter of time now!
Remember to read the Book of Mormon everyday! It’s the easiest
way to draw closer to your Father in Heaven!
