Family,
Well this week was seriously so busy! Transfer news came and Elder
Strong left me and went to Korfidua! I’m happy for him though because he will
do awesome! And I got myself a nice new companion from Nigeria! He is my first
comp from Nigeria so I’m excited to work with him! He was actually in my
district in Kpong so it was a nice coincidence:) So I’ll try and tell you about
my hectic week haha. So on Tuesday we pretty much said our goodbyes to RC (recent
converts) and members for Elder Strong and then on Wednesday we went to the
mission home and I got my new comp name Elder Iymau. We didn’t return home
until around 630 pm, so we hurried and rushed to New Town on our bikes and
met with Yaw (a baptismal candidate that was preparing for Saturday) because he
said he wanted to talk with us. I was
really nervous because I was afraid he was going to back out. It turned out he
just had a question about a JST in the bible. haha Then on Thursday we had
Mission Leadership Counsel in Accra again. So me and my zone leader companion, Elder
Kisembe, (he just got called to be a zone leader, and goes home in three
months) went to Accra and had such an awesome counsel yet again with President
Judd! I seriously love being around him and learning from not only him but
other leaders of the mission. We finished the meeting around 3:30 pm and we
made our trip back to Tema where we had special interviews scheduled for our
candidates, both of them showed up :) Then Friday I had a baptismal interview
in an area that should have only taken a few hours but because of traffic and
miscommunication it took pretty much the whole day|! Saturday morning we had a
temple trip with our RC! Both Jones and Michael came and they loved it!!!! They
wouldn’t stop talking about how awesome it was inside! I’m so happy for them
and their growth! Jones is a stud and comes to church each week early in his
shirt and tie :) but on Saturday I was very nervous that our three baptismal
candidates wouldn’t come for their baptism because for one, it’s a long trip
for a Saturday night and then we have hardly see them the whole week!! And that
is the time Satan works on them the most! So I said I short pray pleading with
Heavenly Father that all will work out to His will and they would baptized. I
just said I had other responsibilities that I had to attend to this week and I
need your help with the baptism! And sure enough everything was good! Yaw, Nana,
and Jessica showed up for their baptism! Jessica is Nana’s daughter and they
brought her boss from work to witness the baptism and he is a solid referral
for us! I was so happy for all of them and my testimony was definitely
strengthened that the Lord will always
