Hello everyone! It's been a great week here in Nkawkaw. There has been quite a bit happening, and a lot of changes are soon to be made.
On Monday, we ate dinner with a family called the Boatengs. We've been there before, but it was the mom's (Faustina) birthday, so we wanted to go there again. And plus, she makes the best rice and stew around. It's seriously so good. Anyways, we had a wonderful time with them talking and enjoying the night. We ended with a spiritual message about baptism because Faustina is preparing to be baptized.
On Tuesday, we had District Council meeting. The topic was on the integrity of the heart, and it was good instruction. Later that day, we went and saw our investigators and helped fetch a bunch of water for a lady we met. She had two 50-gallon barrels that we filled. It took about 45 minutes because the well was far away, but we got it done. My neck was sore after that.
On Wednesday, we had interviews with the President. We are in the last week of the transfer, so I was able to find out all of my transfer news a little bit early, which was nice. I found out that I will be staying in Nkawkaw for two more transfers to train a new missionary. I'm super excited for that, but that means I will be staying in this area for a total of nine months. That's a long time for one area, but it will be good.
From Thursday to Sunday, the zone leaders had baptism interviews, so the Mpraeso elders came down, and we did a little trio exchange for a day. It was good. On Friday and Saturday, it was Elder Adu's birthday, so we celebrated by going to Rock City. I bought him a pizza, and we enjoyed. The rest of the day was normal, just the usual proselytizing, serving, and teaching. On Sunday, we had good attendance at church, and Elder Adu shared his testimony because he is leaving. So all in all, it was a super busy week, but it was good.
I hope you all enjoy, and I hope everyone has a good week!! ~Elder Gilbert
