Family,
Yup I was able to see
that Kaitlan had the babies on Tuesday and I was so happy for her!!
But seriously I was so perplexed to think that it was nine months ago
(somewhere around there) when she told me that she was pregnant with twins!! Time
flies by. In Ghana Kaitlan would name them Kwabena(boy) and Abena(girl). That is
what they call Tuesday borns here. Also Cecilia had her baby boy on
Wednesday!! She called me Wednesday night and told me that she wanted
to name the babies Mormon Eppich Asante.... that would be so awesome if she did
but I’m not sure yet. They take a while to name their babies here. I wish Kaitlan could have held on to those babies a little longer so she and Cecilla' could
have had the babies the same day but its ok. I;m just happy everything went well with both pregnancies. Ya I forgot that Mother’s Day is approaching fast. Do you want me to Skype or call.......(Kade has only been able to call) And as
for the instruction to the new missionaries, I just talked about the small and
simple things of missionary work brings to pass great things..... daily
schedule, area book, companionship unity.... things like that. I’m not in
danger or anything going to the military barracks they just don’t allow
foreigners to come in.
This week was
pretty busy. We struggle to meet people to teach. I don’t
remember if I told you but we are not allowed to contact in the military
barracks so we have to have the light of Christ so people contact US and want
to know more. That is how we do our work here. We are working with some sweet
investigators. A nice young couple who came to church yesterday for stake
conference. I hope they enjoyed it and that it didn’t confuse them. That
is only thing that I don’t really like about the new ward and area is there are
a lot of white people. I just feel weird when I see them, especially if they
aren’t senior couples. Oh on Saturday night after
the stake conference my companion and I and the ZL in this zone went to KFC and ate dinner
haha. It reminded me of when dad would take us to Wendy’s after the Priesthood
dealio. It was super awesome, but cost me like 30 cedis (around 10 dollars) for
everything which is really cheap back home but now I don’t like to spend that
much very often because you can buy a lot here for 30 cedis. But it was totally
worth it! Also we actually already started to work on next transfer! We have a
tough situation where 4 zone leaders are going home and they all need to be
replaced, than the following transfer we have a couple more going home.... so
it will be interesting!
Well family I love you
all and hope all is going good for you back home! The church is true and
everything just makes perfect understanding in the church! That is one of the
ways I gained my testimony in this church is how clear everything is. There is
no confusion. Have a great week
Elder Eppich
