| Suffer the Children |
Monday of course was P- Day. :)
On Tuesday we had District Meeting
and Sister Newton instructed us on our purpose as missionaries and then we did
our supplies (We have a jam song to Ye
Elders of Israel that's on this CD in the Tro that we take in to Cape Coast,
so it's always fun to blast that song)
Wednesday we saw Francis and we
talked with him about The Word of Wisdom.Then we saw John and we read with him
from 1st Nephi and he is doing well at reading on his own! We read chapter 5
and 6 and it was really nice to see him. Then we saw Michael by himself and
tried talking to him, and it was pretty good. He is doing well, but his English
is not as well as we thought, so we it was harder to help him understand our
message on the Book of Mormon. His
brother Derick knows English better so we assumed he did too, but we will for
sure bring a translator with us for sure next time. That night on Wednesday it
rained really REALLY hard. Elder Johnson and I got soaked because the other
elders wanted us to get rice for them, and we did at Mame Patricia's rice
stand, and then ran to the Tro and we are just soaked from the whole thing, but
it was really great!
Thursday was a bit of a slower day
but Elder Johnson and I did go and see Mary and Regina and talked a little bit
about baptism.
Friday we got some work done on our
Central Region orders that we had to do. Our supply room looks a little different
and it's pretty nice because we have extra shelves put in so we can grab the
bleach, dish soap, and hand soap pretty easily now, and it's great! Elder
Johnson had some great ideas, and it really has helped out supplies a lot. That
night we went to Green Hill were I did 2 interviews for the Green Hill 2 Sisters
and it was really nice: One was a 14 year old young woman named Velina and and
the other was a 20 year old man named Isaac Menash and it was really nice to
hear about their experience in the church so far. After that Elder Johnson ad I
got the 10 fried rice down in Cape Coast (We can only get it when we go into Cape
Coast at night and that's pretty rare and it's expensive for rice, so this was
the 2nd time I've done it) but it was really nice, and the guy was a pro at
doing 10 orders at once.
Saturday we weren't able to see
anyone because the members went to do a Temple Trip in Accra, so we couldn't
have anyone come with us to translate so that was sad. However Elder Johnson
and I did go to the Green Hill Sisters Baptism that evening. The Bishop did the
baptisms (Since his daughter was also getting baptized) .After that we went to
our transfer party and I found out my transfer news! So... I am getting Transferred!
I am going to a place called Ntranoa. It's a Branch! And that makes me really
excited because I have only served in wards so far. But we had some crazy stuff
happen with this new transfer. Nkanfoa and Green Hill are going to Yamoransa
Zone and so Yamoransa zone spilt (Being so big). So now we have a new zone
called Mankessim Zone. Ntranoa used to be in the Elmina zone but President
Stevenson is moving it to Cape Coast. So I am staying in the Same Zone, and I
will be with the Abura Sisters in our district, so that's cool! I also am in a
4-some. Yeah a quad companionship. So I have 3 companions. This being because
Elder Park had some pretty bad ingrown toe nail and they removed it but they
messed up the part in between his big toe and the other toe so he had had a
slower recover back to full time. So one person will be with him at at the
apartment and help him if he needs to go to DIS to get rebandaged and all that
fun stuff. The other two will go out and proselyte. So we will take turns with
that (I'm assuming). So my new companions are Elder Park, Elder Kiiza, and
Elder Nsenga (Elder Nsenga is my TC) so it's going to be really interesting,
but I am excited because I get to be full time again!
Sunday was my last time in Nkanfoa, and I gave my departing testimony. It was hard, because I started saying goodbye, and I don't like to say goodbyes. You know the rest. After lunch Elder Johnson and I went around to see some members to say goodbye and wish the best for them. My love for the people here in Nkanofa has grown so much and I learned a lot from being here.
I am really going to miss them.
I love all of the people here but I know that the work moves on and that the Lord has people prepared in Ntranoa, and that Elder Johnson and Elder Simpson will do great things here. I am really going to miss Elder Johnson by the way. Really cool guy, and a good friend to me. He helped me improve and grow, and I really appreciate all the help he has given me. The more I have gotten to know him the more I am impressed by his dedication and service. I told him he has to come to Salt Lake to say hi, and he says he will, so that's cool. But a really great missionary, and a good friend so I know he is going to do great things.
Anyways that's all the news for this
week. I love you all so much. I hope that you are all having lots of fun
adventures, and that you all had a nice Father's Day. Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Harward
