Hellooooo
Another week's come and gone.
I got a call this morning that I
have a meeting in Cape Coast as a District Leader. Here goes another
step into the dark :). Woot.
Soo this week Regina, Joseph,
and Shem were baptized and confirmed. They were so excited and they each
love the church soo I'm sure they will stay strong.
Nich Jr, Misheal, and Nana didn't show up this week :( we'll keep helping them out.
Emmanuel and Prince are still strong and Emmanuel continues to be a powerful 2nd missionary.
No new people came to church
this week. We're just meeting a lot of people who won't keep their
commitments soo it's hard to know when to focus on new investigators.
Soo info on the people we're teaching
Richard believes the church is
true but he doesn't really like coming to church, he wants to learn more
deep doctrine rather than the basics we're teaching him. So we think
we'll just do a study of the book of Revelations with him and see if
that helps.
A girl named Anita, but she was
busy when we were suppose to see her this week. She has potential
though because she's friends with Emmanuel and noticed that their should
only be one faith (which is rare).
A girl named Suzy, She's
confusing. She doesn't seem to excited when we teach the message but
afterwards she'll walk with us to our next appointments and says she'll
come to church, but she hasn't come the past two weeks.
We stopped teaching Afful for a
time because he's just lost interest. He believes Joseph Smith was a
prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true. He just finds church boring
and wants to dance.
Ken is a guy we met dirt road contacting, We've taught him the
Restoration and Book of Mormon but he doesn't believe it, but says he
will pray about it. He says if he gets an answer that he should read the
Book of Mormon he'll read it, if not we should stick to the bible. Sooo
let's hope he actually prays.
Isaac is a guy that is super
smart and picks up on things quicker than anyone we've taught. He's read
the first 2 chapters of the Book of Mormon and is really loving it, he
couldn't come to church this week or next week, but he says the
following week he will come.
Grace is a lady who's only free
on Sunday, she can't read very well so it's super hard to tell if she's
read. That gives me the idea to have her right down what she reads.. mm
hmm good idea. We've taught her the Restoration and she seems to be
slowly gaining a testimony but she keeps saying she won't leave her
church.
Paul a guy we just met the
other day, he's a cool guy but hasn't been reading so we taught him
about keeping promises, either we've scared him off now or he'll start
keeping commitments.
Lot is a guy that knows Shem soo we've taught him small but he
hasn't kept any of his commitments either. He said he'd come to church
but he didn't come.
Soo that's most of our main
teaching pool. I don't feel like we're working smart because there
aren't any members actively involved with any of these people except for
Emmanuel and Nicholas who help us teach everyone.
Umm today if we still have time
we're going to get pizza to celebrate my year mark. Hopefully we can
find a pizza place in Takoradi.
The mission is going well, I've learnt a lot and am still growing.
The two attributes I've been
working on this week is Charity and being Humble. It's cool because as
you learn about the principles you can apply it throughout the day and
it makes a difference in the teachings. Soo I guess I'd invite you guys
to use Preach My Gospel and pick a couple attributes you want to work on
and then study it and apply it throughout the week.
I know the gospel is true and as we apply it in our lives we'll find greater joy and meaning in our lives.
Hey dad I've got a goal for you to set as well. When I get home you're going to go through the temple with me alright? Alright.
Love you all
Elder Adair
