Dear Fam,
[Personal messages to family.] This week continued to be
as great as it started from last monday. So here is a funny story for
you, so last monday, after we got back kind of late from our visit with
Elder Holland we went to the apartment and found out that we are out of
water like we usually are (don't worry mom we always have enough water
to drink) we just didn't have water to clean and wash and because it was
late we decided we would call a water truck the next day. So when the
next day came I only had shirt left and it was my least favorite shirt
but it was clean so I wore it, I bought it at the market and its a
terrible shirt b but sometimes I where it when I need to. After we
proselyted for like an hour I got a call from one of President Judd's
counselors: President Labinjo. He told me he needed one white elder and
one black elder, but he didn't tell us why. So were hurried back to the
apartment as fast as we could, one the way over there he explained that
as part of Elder Snows call of being the new church historian two camera
men came over one the trip. They filmed Elder Hollands talk to us the
day before, as part of there trip they wanted to record some of the
great conversion stories of some of the great church leaders from Ghana.
So he tells the story of his conversion, and Elder Akak and I are
teaching his family. It should be on Lds.org in a few weeks along with
Elder Hollands devotional with us. Its just a fun little experience I
wanted to share with you guys, I also have a lot more respect for the
missionaries who were filmed for the preach my gospel dvd's. Its a lot
scarier teaching when the camera is on you haha.
On weds we took some of our Investigators and a recent
convert to Elder Hollands devotional, we got there early and were able
to get our investigators seated on the fifth row right in the middle and
then we went and sat in the back. They loved it and felt said they felt
something as he spoke. One of our investigators Osei asked for a
baptismal date after the meeting was over. After the meeting I was able
to see a few of my recent converts that are still going strong which I
am really happy about but we couldn't stay long and talk which was kind
of disappointing. One thing that I thought was so powerful was Elder
Holland was pretty emotional when he said how much he loved Ghana and he
said of all the places in the world he could be right at that moment he
said there was no where he would rather be. It hit me powerfully! I
thought of different things that I could be doing with my life that
might be good and memorable but the is no where or anything I would
rather be doing than serving the Lord in Ghana. I try not to be one that
thinks about time but I just hit my 18th month mark and I feel that I
have more than enough juice than I need to finish the last lap strong.
Left... Right... Left... Right (only dad will get that). Mom I'll let
you know when I get the package, not yet but thanks for sending it. Love
you all
-Elder L.
