"God is great and answers our prayers"

November 10,  2014

Family,

Well this last week was pretty crazy for us as we got transfer news a

little early! They are adding 2 more missionaries to Hohoe and so

Elder Zaugg and I wont be together anymore;  (we are pretty sad but it

will be nice to not be so lonely.  My new comp is actually a comp I have

had before. His name is Elder Iyamu from Nigeria. He is a funny

elder, so it will be interesting to have him to finish my mission! It

really caught Elder Zaugg and I by surprise! Also, I don’t know if you

remember how when I was a ZL in Tema and the Stake President was

telling us how they need a certain amount of members to split the

stake? Well, it just reached that point and so yesterday they created

the Ashiaman and Tema stakes! It was sweet to be able to serve there

and help be a part of that! Unfortunately Edward and Patience had a

funeral that they had to attend this weekend so they weren’t around:(

It made us sad but we had another amazing Sabbath!

November 9, 2014 will be a day I wont forget!

It all started when pretty much all of our

members were at the church before 9 am and we had the District

Presidency and their families come to support the Hohoe Group! We had

a total attendance of 38!! it was crazy! Our small little room was

packed! 14 investigators and 24 members! (9 of which were from the District

presidency) We were so busy trying to make sure everything ran

smoothly! Yes, I conducted and Elder Cosgrave led the District

business as they released me as Group Leader and  Elder Zaugg as the

Assistant Group Leader and called Daniel Opoku as

the new Group Leader and Gameli as the Assistant Group Leader! It was

awesome just to see how much growth both of them have made in the

last 3 months! Daniel led the Sunday school class as we ordained

Jonathan and Gameli as elders and then when he finished, the

executive secretary took the class and prepped the members for the

temple trip and preparing names for baptism! We were able to take part

as president Avorn (DP) set apart Daniel and Elder Cosgrave set apart

Gameli! It was awesome and so great to be a part of! Truly we are

seeing our hard work pay off! The Group is starting to really grow!

This last week we had some super sweet new investigators come to church that

hopefully I will be able to talk about them next week because I have

a lot to talk about today! Also, yes mom, President Senanu was so happy with

everything we have been doing as well as the district presidency was.

We sang "Love at Home", "I stand all amazed" and "Come Come Ye

Saints"!! it sounded awesome!!

So once we finished the 2 hour church service, set apart everyone and

ordained the newest elders of the church, we headed down to the river

side for sister Beatrice baptism! The whole district presidency came

to support and sister Beatrice asked me to baptize her. She was so

excited! After her baptism and when we were walking up the

dirt hill she kept saying, "I love you, I love you" haha it was so

sweet because she can’t speak any English, but she has felt the Holy

Ghost tells her what she needed to do. After we changed in the

neighbors house, we came out and Beatrice asked to bear her testimony.

That is when we found out that when she was sick a few weeks back she

prayed and asked God what she needed to do to receive Salvation.

Her health was bad and she was scared of dying, and after that

she had a dream that Kwame(me) and Kwesi(elder Zaugg) carried her down

to the riverside and baptized her in front of a bunch of people! and

that is exactly what happened! We probably had about  20 plus people

there to support her and it was her exact vision that she saw and so

she knew that it was God that revealed to her what she needed to do to

gain Salvation! She loves Elder Zaugg and I so much! It is going to be

so hard to say goodbye to everyone here! Hopefully one year from today

 we can have two couples here in Hohoe be sealed in the

temple(Helen and gameli. Jonathan and Beatrice) that would be

awesome!!

Then to make it even better Elder Zaugg and I have had water problems

where no water has been flowing to our apartment for about 10 days now and

so all of our water was literally almost gone.  Once we returned

to the apartment after the baptism, a huge rainstorm came super fast out of

no where (it actually shouldn’t be raining anymore at this time of the

year) and started to pour super hard so Elder Zaugg and I ran outside

and started to catch water from the runoff off the roof! In

30 minutes we collected 60 gallons of water! We have a water

tank outside and so we would be catching with our little buckets and

then running over and pouring it into the tank! Haha we were soaked

when we finished! But it gave us enough water to wash our clothes today

and wash our dishes! God is great and answers our prayers! Good

memories! Well family, I love you all and hope you have a great week!

much love,

Elder Kade Eppich

I will try and send pics I little later....
