Hello My Friends!

View from the Ghana MTC

Hello! I am happy and healthy. I've done a very good job on the food here (which is yummy, mostly) and the workshops and classes have been awesome. Today we got our residence cards and such so we can stay here legally. It expires in a year though so we'll have to renew it then. 

This week has honestly been a happy blur. I've had a great time with all the Ghana boys, and I've been trying to get to know more of the African missionaries as well. It's been good. Everyone is super nice and friendly. There's a lot of missionaries who were baptized three or four months ago and are currently in the MTC. Everyone's spirit is so strong here. Our sacrament meeting and priesthood were amazing. In sacrament meeting we all prepared a talk on the plan of salvation and they just called 6 people out one by one to give them. I really felt the spirit. And I got to go to the Ghana temple! 

I've also had the strongest revelation I've ever had here, which is awesome. I know that God is aware of me and that I'm in the right place. 

The field is tomorrow. We leave for Cape Coast in the morning, spend the night in the mission home, and then go to our areas on wednesday! I'm very excited to meet my trainer and get to work. I will miss the Ghana MTC though. 

Also, I got to talk to Elder Evans (Luke) over zoom today! His Home MTC originates from the Ghana MTC. His teacher came and found me and brought me into their class for a bit. It was great to see him. He's doing so well. 

In other news, I have decided that soccer is really fun and I want to get good at it. We've played it for gym time and it's fun as heck, like I used to say. 

That's all. I love you and appreciate your support. The dates on my camera are wrong but I haven't figured out how to set it yet.

Surprise Surgery and Salt of the Earth

Good morning! I hope you're all doing great this morning. This week was simultaneously very eventful and very boring.  Part of the reason it was eventful and the whole reason why it was boring is that I got my ingrown toe nail fixed on Tuesday. Yay! It was an eye (and toe) opening experience to go to the doctor in Ghana. Even though I came on a day when you can't normally schedule surgery,  they were really nice and were able to get the surgeon to come and see me. It took the whole day, but it was a blessing to be able to get it all done in one swoop. It hurt pretty bad that first day, but since then it's been good. We spent the night at the hospital which was also fun. Elder Momoh is a very patient and fun adventure buddy.  So that was the exciting part of the week. The doctor said I should avoid walking on my foot for a few days, so we spent a lot of time in the apartment. It was hard to do nothing, but it was also cool to study and rest small. I realized that if I was go

From Sic to Sick and Hopefully Back Again

  Good evening! I hope you're all doing well. This week was nice, but a little challenging. Elder Bukasa, who is really sic, got really sick. We went to the hospital, and they said he has mumps. What the heck. The diagnosis process was a little interesting, but hopefully she got it right. The doctor literally just asked him his symptoms, looked at his face, and said that it was mumps. The whole visit including medication cost less than ten dollars though so maybe it's OK.  That kinda slowed our week down though. On Tuesday we said bye to everyone going on transfer and had an ok proselyting day. Wednesday I went to Cape Coast for the transfer meeting and came back with Elder Egwatu, our new apartment mate and Elder Clemons's new companion. He's from Nigeria but lived in Ghana for a few years so he speaks twi which is awesome. He seems like a really cool guy.  Thursday we went to the hospital in the morning and then worked till closing time, but my companion was mega sick

  Howfah my friends. All is well in Ghana. I hope you know I love you all and I'm praying for you. Some scattered musings from the mind of Elder Johnson: • MY SISTER GOT MARRIED! So exciting. I had a smile on my face the whole week thinking about how happy her and my brother Mason are going to be. I'm sure most of you already know but I thought I'd share anyway. My apartment mates and companion are tired of hearing about it haha.  • We will hopefully have two baptisms this week on Saturday, so please pray for Jestina and Helena!  • People in Ghana are so nice. Like even people we don't know will stay hello • MEMBERS LEAD MISSIONARY WORK! We've had some amazing referrals this week. Share what you love with others!  I know the church is true and that he will support us through our trials. He'll never leave us alone.  Love,  Elder Johnson   1. Desi and Mason! 2.
