Hello
Family and Friends! :) How are you all doing? I hope that everything is going
well for all of you! I hope that you had a nice Mother's day last week, and
were able to tell your mom's how much you love them. I hope the weather is nice
over there and that you are enjoying the sunshine.
Okay so as for this week, wow... what a week! Lots of fun stuff
happened:
Monday- Was P- Day of course, I worked out, so I can work off all
the calories I ate from the Family Pack challenge, so that was nice, but I
definitely am not in shape, so I need to improve.
Tuesday came and we did Supplies! :) Yay! District Meeting was
canceled due to the Green Hill Sisters having their President Interviews, so we
had a nice full day of supplies. Then we saw Cecilia and Phillip and listened
to a chapter from the B.O.M. in Fante so she could understand, and that was
really nice! We choose 2nd Nephi 31, and it was a nice lesson. Then we saw
Edward, and we went over the Baptismal Interview Questions and it was so great!
It really has been neat to see how much he has progressed and it was a neat
lesson, and I could just feel that he was ready to be baptized. Okay so funny
story time.... I decided to get a haircut before mother's day, so I could look
good. We were in Cape Coast on Tuesday and there is this guy named Elementor
who cuts hair so we decided to go, and I got my hair cut. He really is a sweet
guy, and it was nice to talk to him, but... I am not sure if I was specific
enough because he cut my sides SUPER SHORT but kept my top long. (He still is a
cool guy though) SO I thought this is not appropriate at all, and Mother's day
is coming up and I have president's interviews coming up. So I am at home and I
have some scissors on my desk (You can see where this is going) and I decided
to cut the top off myself but I wasn't good at it and I didn't ask for help so
I have these really bad bald spot and my hair is even more of a mess so It
wasn't the best night. But the other Elders told me the next morning (After
they all laughed) that the best thing to do is just shave it off and then let
it grow, so I went to another person and got it shaved to 1 or something but
it's really short, but at least it feels like carpet :) So I am almost bald
just so you know :)
Wednesday came around, and the first thing we did was fix my hair so
that was nice, the guy that helped was really nice and it looks nice now. Then
we saw Edward and talked about the Temple and Baptisms for the Dead and it was
really nice. Then Elder Hodson and I tried to see some less active guy named
Elder Hanson who is like a pioneer for Nkanfoa who brought the gospel there,
but he is upset at the church because they let him go because he wasn't doing
his job, so he has some back past hate. But we said hi at least so we will get
there hopefully one day with him :) Elder Hodson and I are also trying to go
and see the Mensah Family and the Abbakah Family as well so hopefully we will
be able to. That night we saw Cecilia again and listened to 3rd Nephi 11 and it
was really neat, to see Cecilia listening to the B.O.M. so it was great!
Thursday was a bit of a slower day. We had Edward's Interview
after Weekly Planning and we found a translator (Luckily :) ) and everything
worked out, and he passed! Yay! Then Elder Hodson and I rushed to the Mission
Home for our interviews with President Stevenson. It was really nice. While we
were waiting, Sister Stevenson talked to us about testimony and conversion and
what they mean and it was really nice..
Then came Friday and we did Supplies! :) Before we did supplies
though I got to interview 3 people of the Green Hill Sisters so that was really
nice, but it was a nice supply day, and PEC was really great as well.
Saturday finally rolls around and Elder Hodson and I go out and we
have lunch then we make sure everything is ready for Edward, and then we went
to the twins home making sure they were still coming (Benjamin was preforming
the baptism) and everything was good, and Edward was Baptized!!! Yay! The young
men came and supported him and the spirit was really strong so that was great.
After the Baptism we went with the Young Men to try to see some of their
friends and invite them to church and that was fun. This was just the kick off
activity so I am excited to see what happens next time. Then we had the
Transfer Meeting that night. Okay so.... Elder Hodson is getting Transferred to
the Takoradi Zone to Apowa to be with his TC Elder Igbeindeon, so he is going
to enjoy. I am staying of course and my new companion is Elder Johnson
(Chandler) we have 3 Johnson's in the missions so that's funny. I have heard of
him. He is leaving his son Elder Maumau (Toa) so I am excited to talk to him
and be his companion. I have heard good things so that's nice. :) I am sad that
Elder Hodson is leaving though, he has been my longest companion and I have
learned so much from him.
Sunday came and it was Mother's Day! YAY!!! I was really excited
to call home :) but first we had church and Edward was confirmed a member and
he was ordained a deacon (he is only 13 and then he will be 14 in like 3 weeks)
so it was really neat! I really felt the spirit when we sang Where Can I turn
for Peace and I just really love that song, and about how the Savior really
does give us peace, and He is the only one that can do that. Anyways after
Church Elder Hodson went to the Mission Home and then he Skyped home then I got
to skype and it was really nice :) I really enjoyed seeing the family :)
Afterwards then we went to see some members because Elder Hodson is saying
goodbye so that was fun, but then that night we helped Jesse put some supplies
in the truck before he goes so that was nice.
But anyways that's all for the week! I love you all so much! I
hope that you are all having lots of fun adventures. Keep relying upon the
Savior, He really is the only one that give us peace. Have a great week okay!
Love,
Elder Harward
Prayer List
1. Elder Hodson- That he might love his new area and companion and that we will always stay good friends :)
2. Elder Johnson- That he might be ready to be my companion that we might love each other and work hard together
3. Members/Less Actives- So that we might be able to strengthen the ward, as well as find those who may have lost there way, and for us to find more people to teach as we ask for referrals.
That's about it. If you could keep a prayer in for me that would be nice. :) Sometimes I doubt myself and stuff but I am trying to be better. I love you so much thank you for all that you do. Do you think you could put just some small more money in my account, so we can get food? I am hoping not to pull it, but we may have to get some more stuff with 5 people being in the apartment soon, but I will keep you updated. :) I love you so much, have a great week okay? :)
