Hey all!!:) I loved your emails last
week! It sounded like you are all doing very well! I can't believe you are all
enjoying the summer already it's wild. I can't believe that I am on my last
transfer. This week was transfer news. Elder green is leaving to Bakoshie he
will enjoy. My new companion is Elder Mutawe he is a great guy. I actually
helped seal him to his parents in the temple. We are now going to enjoy my last
transfer. Elder Thapellie is going to the bush. I am staying with Elder Lewis
Reese though and that will be sick he is a great guy we have got along very
well these last couple of months. We are going to enjoy my last transfer. Did I
tell you it's my last transfer?? Hha I’m so pumped! I'm sad I have to leave
this place and my people but happy to see my family and not sweat anymore!!!!!
This week has gone so fast and good
for Elder Green and me! Green celebrated his 19th bday on Friday! We celebrated
it on Saturday though. We went to the mall and chopped chicken and chips, Dr.
Pepper and snickers. He loved his bday! Elder Chatterley is going home on
Thursday. I am sad to see him leave he is a great bud of mine now. He will be
going to Provo for school so I will meet him again. This week Elder Green and I
taught some very powerful lessons together. We contacted a woman named V and she has just moved to the Accra area and said she doesn't have a church in
this area yet. We knew God had lead us to this wonderful woman she is very
receptive to the gospel we are so happy to see how she progresses. She is
around 27 years and has a couple children that she is raising alone. She has
such a special spirit about her. This mission we do a Book of Mormon devotional
every Thursday. Well I was the discussion leader and we learned about Alma and
Amulek when they were called to the city of Ammonihah to preach to the wicked
Lamanites. Well we have been using this story with our investigators and recent
converts and they love it. Ghanians don't really read they just know stories in
the Bible so when you tell them stories hey I tell you what they love it and it
has really helped out investigators know that the Book of Mormon truly is the
word of God! A funny story this week is Green and I like doing stupid things at
times and really like messing with Ghanaians at times! Well we were contacting
and we were knocking gates and I saw an old man sitting on the curb of a house
so I waved at him and I could tell he wasn't too happy to see us but he was an
older man and we somehow ended knocking the gate by his house and as we were
walking up to his house he said "I'm busy I'm traveling" so we said
okay no problem and then we knocked the gate and we knocked....he then said I
told you I'm traveling sooo! Well I looked back at Green and he said knock
again so we knocked again haha Green started to laugh and then we decided to
go. Well as we were leaving we started a casual conversation with the man and
he would talk to us and then get mad that he was talking to us haha. We asked
him da what is your favorite food? He began to talk to us and then he would
shake his head and say why are you worrying me. So we decided to go and we were
laughing so hard....we play like we don't know anything about Ghana and the
people here are so understanding they are so patient with us even if they hate
the church so we abuse that a little bit. C and K are still doing so well;
C has been at school all week so we haven't been able to meet with him.
K though is doing sweet! Sunday was such a great day. Green bore his
testimony and it was just a great Sunday! Elder Chatterley has an investigator
that loves missionaries and feeds them every Sunday so for his last Sunday he
fed all of us. We chopped nice fufu and light soup with fish. We then
immediately after had a FM with our second counselor to the stake president😅. They fed us so much food and gave us some drinks. One is
called Alvaro it is like sparkling cider it is so good! I was so full holy cow
I slept like a baby!
Family I love you all very much! I
am so grateful for the way I have been raised and the family I have grown up
in. I feel so blessed. I want you to know I still want us all to go to the
temple though as a family. How great of a privilege we have to be sealed as a family.
As I have been over here and have seen so many different faiths we are so
lucky. We need to show our gratitude to Heavenly Father and serve Him in His
house. Remember we are all beggars everything we own or have accomplished is
from and belongs to our Father. We are so blessed. I love you all very much and
love my Heavenly Father and His son so much!!
Love you all tons,
Elder Carson
