Family I love hearing from you! Thank you for the emails. Dad I always
think of you chip sealing n this hot weather, thank you for your hard work. Keep
those guys at work safe, stuff happens fast.love ya dad. Mom running isn't
everything lol but Im sorry you couldn't run. Colby went to a high adventure? Where did he go? How was it?
Zolly emailed and said he got to see you. I wish I could have been there but I
was glad you got to see him. He is a great young man! Thats cool that the
Dimicks came down, I sure miss those memories but soon enough! They all look so
dang big I tell you what, it is going to be weird for me to see them! Sarynn and
Will look so dang big boy its weird for me because I think of them a year ago I
just feel like life is on pause and have to remind myself that you are still
pushing along back home! I am so happy though. You know I talk about home and
get home sick sometimes but there is no place I would rather be then serving my
God and helping my fellow brothers and sisters in Ghana. I love Ghana and have
such a strong testimony that Heavenly Father sends you to where you need to go,
overall my personality fits this culture perfectly, we are always laughing and I
love meeting new people.
Well Training is half way over, they say
times go by fast when you train, boy they weren't lying. This week was okay, not
our best week but we still gained great relationships with our investigators and
had some very good lessons. I want to share an experience that we had with the
S family that I think I forgot to share with you last week. We sat down
with the family, the mother, the young boy who is 10 and the boy who is 5 and
the girl is 14. Well we had so many powerful spiritual lessons with them and
they want to be baptized. Well we taught them the book of mormon and how it was
evidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and if the Book is true then the
only church on the face of the earth that uses it is the lords church. Well it
was so powerful, well we finished the lesson and asked them to read, pray, and
ponder about the Book of Mormon. They said that they would, well we invited to
pray right then and ask God the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ if it
was true and they again agreed. Well the mother called on the young boy I to pray. You should have seen this boys faith, his faith was showing so
exceedingly...he didn't doubt that God wouldn't answer his prayer. As we bowed
our heads down in prayer, the spirit was so dang powerful, it was so quiet and
peaceful, there was so much love in the room. Well I began to pray and
talk To Heavenly Father and he began to get quieter and quieter until we couldn't
hear him, then it was silent for about 10 seconds, we never heard him ask the
question but everyone in that room knew and could feel he had asked God if it
was true, well he didnt end his prayer but looked up and said yep It is true,
haha well I told him to finish his prayer and he did perfectly and then we
explained to them that, that was the spirit telling them that it was true and
the Church was true. It was just a testimony builder to me that Heavenly Father
does answer our prayers if we humble ourselves as a little Child, and I was so
proud of that young boy, his faith was showing, it made me question myself, how
good is my faith? Very spiritual story. Well they couldnt come this week they
traveled because G's father had a stroke, so next week for sure.
This week I met my wife haha but no really we received a referral from
these other missionaries. So we called her right away and she told us to come on
wednesday, well she called us to remind us to come and we met her at this bus
stop. Well we were kind of expecting an older woman but then this pretty girl
walks up to us and says what's up, I was like hey, she was like I'm J I was
like what haha we laughed about it. She has been super prepared by the lord,
and is ready to hear our message, whether she accepts it I cant say..its ghana
but her phone has been switched off so we haven't been able to meet her again.
We taught her the beginning of the Restoration and she already had an LDS
version of the King James bible and her youngest sister is a member, we have
high hopes for her. She wants to be a fashion designer and is very smart and is
always laughing, Jensen and the Apartment we were all like Carson Baptize her
then come back and marry her...no problem haha:)
