Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride, everything everything will be alright! My comp has been singing that song to me all the time haha funny guy. Well everybody how is the day? Things are cool here in Kwabenya. We had a baptism scheduled for this week but Stanely traveled to Togo to get his family for the baptism and couldn't get back in time. Hopefully this week Stanely and Samuel Young will be baptized. Interviews are this week. Zone leaders want to go on exchanges this Tuesday after district meeting.... I'll probably get lost.
A few pretty good referrals, we were trying more to ask this week, not perfect but better. Had a couple members introduce us to friends. They didn't come to church this week, but maybe this is the week. Usually it seems like the first week people don't come, unless they are already serious. Like the man Herbert in Ho. Elder Turley called me and said he is progressing well and even is from Ho Hoe! He will move back in September... about the time they will be preparing to send missionaries up! The Lord has everything planned perfectly. I listened to a Bruce R. McConkie talk this week. He said that 'God already knows everything, to say that He doesn't is to say that the Plan he created is not already the best and thought out to perfection. He could not have created a better plan and to say that there could be one is to say that God does not know everything.' Very very true. He loves us and has our best already prepared.
Elder Peterson is doing well. Pretty easy going guy and we are starting to get more in sync with our teaching styles. We are teaching a lady named Faustina, she is so cool! Looks like this big black celebrity whose name escapes me.. anyways, she knows the Book of Mormon is true and has a testimony, we got her a fellow shipper (an awesome lady in the branch named Juliana, who used to be a Jehovah's Witness) but there is more work to do. She is the lead singer for the church and the pastor got her money in a tough time. Still she knows what she needs to do and I believe she will come this week.
Still learning Kwabenya but this place is good. Sorry about pictures, the other cafe is having light off and this one doesn't have the hardware to connect my camera with. Mom just know I am alive and well and bonus: didn't take any sweet pictures this week, just funny ones involving a stack of like 30 fridges in the middle of no where.
Thanks so much for the support, prayers and help for the people we work with and even for me. Mission is still beyond words, just come and serve and everything will follow, give it all you got. This is the Lord's work and it is true. His church is the only place where we can receive the fullness of his blessings and it is our time to consider seriously our commitment to Him. He loves with a perfect love. He loves you and obedience to Him is and always will be the best thing for you ever.A few pretty good referrals, we were trying more to ask this week, not perfect but better.
