Beat by the Rain and a visit from an Apostle of the Lord

A long lost Friend :)

Bright and early we went and played football with the sisters at the Fifa pitch. The Sisters actually participated! Which made it a lot of fun. The Elders wouldn't score, we would just assist the Sisters in scoring. :)

On the way home, the skies just opened up and sheets of rain began to pour. So we ran for the market. We were soaked before we even got there, so we just continued running, from shop to shop, getting what we needed while dodging little rivers and roof-made waterfalls. We couldn't get any more wet so we decided to just run home. :) Memories. We got home, got dried off and then took a nap until the rain stopped. And then the day continued normally.

Love the beach

Elder Lukhele, my TC and District leader, is a stud. He gives powerful mind-pondering instructions each and every Tuesday. We ate Konkonte with fish, super nice.

Funny story: Ishmael, a less-active, promised to come with us to Institute. So we told him we would pick him by 4:30. So we get there and he starts giving us excuses like needing to bath, so we told him to bath and we would wait for him. While we were waiting he jumped the back wall and ran! It's like he's a fugitive! Some people you just can't help until they are willing.

We gave Mary's sister a blessing. It's amazing how the Spirit always gives you what to say when you need it. :)

Relief Society Anniversary

Wednesday we finally got my Book of Mormon fixed! The back spine glue had decided to quit, so my search was finally finished when a Catholic book press helped me out and got it squared away for free! There are kind people in other faiths too, just fyi. :) I also got dashed my rash cream from a pharmacist that loves me! Small and simple blessings happen each and every day. :)

Taught Felicia for the first time in ages! It was nice to re-teach what we had covered and answer some of her questions. We are teaching quite a few people, but the problem is is that very few of them are actually progressing. Yes, they all give us time but then none of them ever come to church! Gahh!

The 6 Elders from Mankessim stayed the night so that way they won't need to wake up killer early to make it to Takoradi Friday. 12 Elders in the same house = no sleep.... for them! My companion and I went to bed early and locked our door. :)

Friday. Happy birthday Coulter! Baptism is sweet and I'm excited for you! :)

At the beach with my son :)

A nice present for me was that the whole mission went to Takoradi for a conference with Elder Ronald A. Rasband. They are splitting the stake there and so President Monson has sent him to do it. But he spoke to us for an hour and a half. You know that he's an apostle of the Lord just by looking at him, and then when you get to shake his hand you know even more! I am so grateful for the leaders that we have. Their wives are just as powerful. Sister Rasband bore a beautiful testimony which caused me to ponder and smile. Something she said was, "I did not marry an Apostle. I married a righteous, worthy return missionary." The lord will turn us into who He wants us to be, if we are worthy and willing. :)

Our best lessons are always with Josephine. The last 3-4 times we've taught her, the lesson we've prepared are what her questions are on! The spirit of inspiration is real!

Mama's helping hand :)

It was also the Relief Society Anniversary! Sister Nancy invited us in the evening and they fed us nice things like Benku. :) I love the members so much!

Palm Sunday/ children belonging to apostate churches everywhere dancing around waving palm leaves. Woo!

3rd week means it's a missionary Sunday, so my companion and I passed the Sacrament. Shortly after church Mami Supa had us come and help her pound Fufu and then of course enjoy it afterward. ;) It was soooo nice. We finished the night by talking with Jacob Andoh-Keson about his mission in Nigeria. I love speaking with RMs and learning from what they've learned. :)
