Surprise Baptism!

The Beach

Monday was a standard day. We did the washing and cleaning and had a quick game of Monopoly Deal. I won. :) The Bakano Elders came and chilled for a bit, I talked with Elder Maendesa (One of my TC's). It was nice to catch up with him for a bit. We made lunch and took a nap. We tried to email but couldn't because all of the cafes either had no power, or no room. The Andoh-Kesons invited us over for FHE, it was so nice since we got to visit with them for quite some time. And guess what..... Water is finally back! Woooo!

Ghana famous Banana bread :)

District meeting was great. We did something new which I enjoyed. All of the companionships presented the qualities and attributes of a character from the Book of Mormon that the District leader assigned to us. We got Samuel the Lamanite. :) By studying these characters, we can see the attributes that we should develop to have good successful lives. :)

The Money Team TMT

I made more banana bread and it was gone in seconds. I set it on a plate with a bread knife and set them on the dining room table. I came back 5 minutes later to find crumbs.... :) Either it tastes amazing, or the apartment is starving.... Maybe both. ;)

Isaac Mascar came with us again. I'm so impressed with how he is so engaged in missionary work. He's been coming with the missionaries for the past 3 years! That's dedication.

The First supper :)

We have a new investigator named Josephine. She seems really promising. She'll probably be baptized early February. :)

The Bay!  (his name is Elder Bay)

Elder Hannemann went to MLC today, so his companion Elder Tom came with us for the day. Isaac came too so we had 4 of us all teaching in the same lessons! Talk about Priesthood power! ;) We saw some less-actives and a few investigators. PEC went really good, for once. I made 2 more loafs of banana bread and just like the first ones they were gone in minutes. :)

My compa :)

Thursday was a very good busy day. Weekly planning went great. Lots of people turned us away, shocker... but we still managed to find several new people to teach. They may or may not be serious but we'll see! The Andoh-Kesons fed us Fufu and Nkakra. They always feed us way too much! But it's so nice pah pah. :)

Sylvia was around also! So we saw her and refreshed everything and set up an unplanned interview with her for Friday! I'm so happy for her! Prince also gave us a referral. His name is Steven and he seems like a really cool guy. He'll probably get baptized sometime in February or March. :)

Our area :)

Friday's study time was killer. I learn so so much during that short hour. I wish we had more time to study personally. We had the follow-up trainers meeting today in Ola. So we spent most of the day there receiving instruction on how to be full-purpose missionaries and where our efforts should be focused. It was really nice because I also got to see 2 of my favorite TC's! Elder Bay and Elder Aniwa! Man I love those guys so much!

Agnes fed us Egg stew upon returning to Cape. Sylvia was interviewed and passed with flying colors! So Saturday will be a very big day. :)

Sylvia's Baptism

Saturday was pleasantly stressful. We had a scare with the font. Water almost couldn't be in it so we had a little heart attack. But we got it all figured out so alls good. :) We taught Steven (the referral) and am so excited to teach him everything. He has the potential to be a very powerful member. We picked Sylvia up for her baptism and had a wonderful experience with her. Elder Masendi performed the baptism and was just glowing afterward. :) Following the baptism we had a nice long gospel conversation with some presbyterians. One named Ishmael and the other Steven. Both are very interested in the church. :) The work is definitely progressing!

Sundays are truly the best day of the week. During studies I was very enlightened on the Millenium and Armageddon. Crazy stuff yo. Sylvia was confirmed which was so sweet. I'm so happy she's making such wonderful choices with her life. After we went to see a few members and then Agnes. Sunday was her last time going to Anglican. She has now promised to be coming to the only true church! I'm so happy for her and also for Christian. Since he's been wanting to marry her, but she's not a member so he can't. We taught her about the Holy Ghost and a good conversation. Mami Supa made us Garden Egg Stew with Plantain. Man that is heavy food. I love her so much. :)

And so that was my wonderful week! We did not expect to have her baptism at all. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, doesn't He? ;) The Church is true!
