Week #88

10 people, still the TRUE church.


i can not think of a better place for me to finish my mission then Mankessim First ward! and also im over a small group that opened just 4 weeks ago in a small coastal town called otuam! the most prettiest place ive seen on my mission! im asking president if we can start spending full time there. its about an hour from mankessim in the middle of no where and since its the birth place of one of the former presidents its a nice PAVED road in the middle of the bush! soooo much fun!

my new companion is elder Nemet (like home depot, you dont say the T) such a sweet guy, ive known him for over a year and we are excited to work together to build up the kingdom of god here in this area! in my shoe box "appartment" hahah its elder pahulu ( tongan) and elder holtman (IDAHO BOI) we are just enjoying out here in the smallest zone in the mission!

sundays are usualy sooo laid back and sooo chill but nope! not in this area! we quickly get up and get ready, bishop picks us up in his tro tro and we start driving to otuam. pick up about 5 other members along the way. we worship in a school, 5 members from mankessim, 2 missionaries, 2 members from otuam and 1 investagator who is getting baptised sunday! all 10 of us sat there, some how sand a quiet hymn and partook of the lords sacrament. such an emotional experience for me, looking at 10 just 10 people sit in this crappy run down school at the top of this town still worshipping god the way hes instructed us to. such an eye opening experience for me, the church is true and as christ taught us, "for where two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" we got 10 so were doing pretty good i think! hahahhaha

oh how much i love missionary work, especially in ghana.... as the apostles say to the west africa area presidency, we are the very tip of the spear for the church, "all eyes are on us!" so blessed to be in the midst of all of this, watching the church grow at unbelievable rates!

hope all of you guys have a great week and remember its not about finding time for god buts its about finding time for life cause youre so caught up doing what God is asking you, me and all of us to do. forget yourself and go to work, doing what god wants, not what you want! love you all
