Hello everyone! I'm happy that I am able to email you all today, but this email won't be that great mainly because there won't be any photos. The phone that they gave us is controlled by an app called Maas360, and once in a blue moon, Maas will freak out and delete everything on your phone. The sucky part is that Maas won't let you sign back into the phone or download apps again. So pretty much, when Maas spasms, the phone is trashed, and that's the point that I am at. But it will all be well. So I would just like to apologize for a not-so-exciting email. That is also what the title of my email is for this week: "Kafra wai," which means sorry!!
The past few weeks have been really good! My companion and I have been putting in the work and have put two investigators on a baptismal date for this transfer!! I am absolutely stoked out of my mind! Baptisms in Muslimville are not easy whatsoever, but we are experiencing many mighty miracles! One of our investigators' names is Cecilia. She's 18. She lived in Accra for many years but just moved to Tamale. We found her through a member, started teaching her, and for a while, she wasn't interested at all. But we introduced the Book of Mormon to her, and she kind of fell off the map. But we went back a few weeks ago, and she had read part of the Book of Mormon and felt the spirit very strongly. We taught a few lessons, and she was asking questions about how to become a full member. I thought it was pretty cool.
I had a thought today as we were in the market shopping, and there was a moto that was honking its horn like crazy, trying to get through a crowd of people. When the moto passed me, I saw it had 3 cow heads stacked on top of each other, strapped to the back of the moto. And they were fresh too. There was still blood draining out of the heads, and he left a thick trail of blood all the way through the market. And the funny thing is, I didn't think anything of it. It wasn't until about 30 minutes later that I actually realized that was pretty wild. I've noticed, and I think it's crazy, but I feel so comfortable in Ghana. The things I used to think were so weird are now everyday life. It's interesting to see how you can just get used to so much.
We had zone conference this week, and it was really good. We talked a lot about having better prayers or having more effective prayers. Also, this past fast Sunday, the entire mission fasted for whatever is holding the Kumasi temple up so they can start working on it. I bet there will be some new announcements on the temple by the end of this week.
I can't really remember much else that happened, but I have really been enjoying the past few weeks. I'm not sure yet, but I think I will be transferring soon, which is funny because I've been having the most fun right when my time is coming to an end.
Anyway, I love you all, and I hope my phone will get fixed so I can get you guys some pictures next time!
