Ghana Cape Coast Mission

 Good afternoon everybody. This week was really cool. We had some experiences that I feel typify experiences I've had throughout my mission.  The first was a wonderful exchange we had this Tuesday. I was with Elder Alfian, the Liberian legend. We went to Ankwanda and felt prompted to go to a member's house right away. When we get there, the member wasn't around, but I remembered my previous companion telling me that there was an English-speaking sister in a house across the street. We went to that house and met Hannah, a sister who stayed in Liberia for 20 years who lit right up when Elder Alfian mentioned he was Liberian. She's been to church several times in the past and accepted an invitation to be baptized during our lesson.  Many times during my mission, I've felt prompted to do things that I otherwise would not have done. This experience is an example of that. I need all the help I can get; therefore I want to keep following promptings for the rest of my life.

  Good morning everyone! This week was fantastic. We had some ups and downs and trials but overall it was really great. It feels a little bit like we're in a rocketship. Like no matter what happens we just keep jetting.  The week got off to kind of a rocky start. Monday we had a fantastic zone activity where we played football on the beach until a drunk junior league soccer coach made us leave. After that we were waiting to get haircuts and Elder Greer said he didn't feel good. We went home and he slept for like 7 hours. He woke up briefly, called his family and slept the whole night until about 12 the next day. He was super, super sick. Throwing up, runny tummy, everything. I felt really bad for him. He's OK now.  That all goes to say that we didn't do much proselyting on Tuesday and Wednesday. I had a lot of time to study though which I enjoyed. I finally finished the Old Testament on Tuesday! My goal was to finish it before my mission but didn't quite get there.

  Good afternoon everyone! This week was fantastic. And also really wet. The rainy season has officially begun and we've felt it. I don't mind the rain but the mud makes it hard to keep our shirts white. We've had fun though.  This week we had some cool experiences. We were able to start teaching Francis, the husband of a lady named Dorcas we've been teaching which was a miracle. We've been wanting to meet with him for a while and it just worked out. Our first lesson had a rocky start. I ate some bad akyeke right before the lesson and as we were starting we had to excuse ourselves so I could sprint to the nearest public toilet. I can now now say that I've used a Ghanaian public restroom though. Only cost 5 cents and that included a free sheet of newspaper for reading and other purposes. We also had a cool experience on Sunday with one of our members named Joseph. Sunday was pretty slow. Our coordination meeting didn't happen and the people we were planning t

  Good afternoon everyone! I hope you're all doing well.  This week was interesting. We had a few days where Elder Greer was sick so we either went out late or came back early, but we saw a lot of miracles in the time we did spend in our area. Dorcas, a lady referred to us by a member this week, is doing well and we also started teaching her sister Amelia. We met an awesome lady named Patience through a member as well and things with her are also great. We also had another stellar coordination meeting on Sunday which I really enjoyed, and we had a much needed talk with our bishop after church. Our ward mission leader Sebastian rocks, and Anderson, the Elder's Quorum president, is super diligent and helps us teach multiple lessons every Sunday after church. Sister Affran, the Relief Society president, is an organization and assignment making machine. We've had a great time working with them.  One miracle we saw this week was with Richard, a kid who has been coming to church

  Good evening everyone! I hope you're great. This week was wild but cool.  First of all, I have a new companion. His name is Elder Greer and he's from Arizona. We were in the same district in Takoradi awhile ago so I was very excited when I found out he was my comp. He's a great guy, has a great attitude, and really teaches by the Spirit. We've enjoyed this week so much.  And some crazy stuff has happened! On Monday, it started raining like crazy so we took shelter at a lumber mill owned by a dude named Muhammed Ali. I would've asked him if he likes to box but he didn't speak English and I don't know how to ask that in Fante. We continued on and I ended up riding my bike into the gutter that same day. We also got yelled at by a rasta-fied anti-Christ on Tuesday which was interesting. Those who need God most listen to him the least.  That was the mud. So here's the miracles. We were walking around in the sun on Friday when we had the thought to go and vi

  Good morning everyone! The above quote is attributed to Elder Hill, my wonderful and wise companion. I've felt it a whole lot this week.  This week was good and went so fast. We had interviews with President which were so wonderful. President Morgan makes me feel like his friend. He's definitely called of God to lead this mission.  And God apparently told him that the trio needs to be broken up. Sad day! Elder Mposhi and Elder Hill are both going on transfer this Wednesday. I'll be staying in Elmina. I'm so sad that they're going but I know that they'll do amazing wherever they go. Elder Hill was called to be a zone leader which is awesome! He'll do so well at that. And Elder Mposhi will very likely go back to Agona, the place he was before the emergency transfer, so we'll probably still be in the same district. It'll be a great transfer. The work is going well. We've had great experiences with members this week. On Sunday we were supposed to h
