October 4th
No baptisms this week but we have 16 for next week which is exciting. also next week is Zone Conference which will be another FIRST!!!!!!!!
Transfers are Wednesday week so we will see about those 2 extra elders. you never know.
No conference yet. I think we dont see it till november!!! but we get the Liahona every issue and the talks are normally in there. so that will be cool.
Testimony meeting was interesting, i understood maybe 4 or 5 testimony's the rest were all in the native language (which i am picking up slowly) It is called Twi, pronounced Trrrrreee
October 12th
I MISS DRIVING!!!!! SOOOOO much!
Okay so i had a really good week again. we ended up having 15 baptism's!!!! We are going to a split with the missionaries from Suhum as they need to have a candidate interviewed for baptism.)
The Cranny's who are the couple in our District said it was the biggest baptism they have been too since they have been here (1 year)
Sept stats: 175 Baptism's and October Goal is 221!!! (for the mission)
We started the BOOK OF MORMON CHALLENGE at Zone Conference, which is cool and i think you should all do it as well!
This is what you do;
Get a clean Book of Mormon (The blue missionary one) and then in;
RED - mark all the references to Jesus Christ
ORANGE - Make anything that he says (Include when his prophets say "and thus saith the lord'
GREEN - All of the Christlike Attributes (D&C 4: 5-6)
BLUE - The Doctrines of the Gospel
So Wednesday is my 2month mark!!! WOW that has gone fast! only 22 months left :)
and 4 months till i am no longer a teen!!!!!!! I know it is hard to believe!!!
Transfers are this Wednesday, meaning our area is being split! Elder Takon and I will be in Effiduase and Oyoko and the New missionaries will be in Koforidua!!!!!! Crazy to think, but president said because we have found so many good people that there is work out here. (and i get my package!!!!) The Cranny's are going to go pick the new missionaries and get it for me :) (He was going to close down this area before i came out here because of the lack of work!!) But he decided to give it one more transfer to see how it would go (thus it being 'white-washed' with Elder Takon and I)
Our branches are very good, i will be sad to leave Koftown and the sweet people that we have there but the new missionaries will be staying in the same apartment as us so we will be able to keep up.
The roads here are crazy! i felt like i was going to die today!!! We went to a place called Boti Falls, Umbrella Rock and the "magic" palm tree!! they were amazing! but man Ghanian's try to rip you off! We went there with our district and there are 3 "obruni" (white man) and they guy straight up was like 'white man 3 cedi's black man 1 cedi'. i cant believe how blatantly racist they are they see a white person and just see $$$.. We bargined with them. i just try and imagine what would happen back home home if anything like that happened. or if everytime a dark person walked by everyone yelled out "BLACK MAN!!" like they do to us fair people. They eat there coconuts before they are ready, (like when we eat them) the flesh is still slimy and there is a lot of milk inside (which is more like water)
I heard some statistics at a members house on the radio about the road toll, from April-June there were 500 deaths on the roads and July -Sept was 800 deaths!!!! The roads are crazy!!!!!
