Goat Jaws?

Good evening everyone! Some moments from this week:

Baptism dates: Prince and Mimi (two kids we are teaching) accepted baptismal dates for the 18th. Yay! Our friend Jessica is also planning on being baptized on that day. Great times. 

Fingers (or the lack thereof): I was using a knife to separate some frozen sausages and I about lost my finger. Fortunately, everything was OK but it still shook me up a little bit. Next time I'll use a cutting board. 

Finding (the elect): God helped us have a lot of success finding the elect this week. We had some awesome lessons and have high hopes for some of the people we've found to progress. 

Fufu (and ncackra): yesterday was the second time someone we met less than 24 hours before fed us dinner. Regina, whose brother is on a mission in Nigeria right now, let us teach her, came to church, and fed us dinner on Sunday. It was crazy awesome. Also, there were goat jaws+tongues in each bowl. Fun times. 

Church: this Sunday was one of the coolest days of my life. We had 6 of our friends come which was awesome, but almost all of our recent converts came too. The gospel is incredible. Watching the Anfoh family wave to us on their way into church made me feel like Ammon, so full of joy that I don't know what to do with myself. God is so good. 

Castles and volleyball: today we all went and toured the Cape Coast Castle with Elder Gabrylczk and Elder Anderson. It was so much fun. Afterwards we ate some food and played volleyball, which I'm not good at but it was still fun. 

One thing I've loved this week is how much we've used the Book of Mormon. Elder Kacher of the 70 came to us last week and told us to use the Book of Mormon more in our teaching and so we've been trying. There's so much power in looking another Christian in the eyes and telling them that God has more words than just the Bible. The Spirit is there when we read the Book of Mormon. 

The gospel is true! Love you all. 

Love,
Elder Johnson

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.
