From January 17, 2011: LDS Missionaries and Jehovah Witness Missionaries

From January 17, 2011:  Well on Monday I bought some soccer jerseys so I must say that is was a productive day to say the least.
  Tuesday was also much fun. I can't recall anything really aside that Elder Jones and I worked hard and we continue to have a lot of laughs through the day.
  Wednesday was noteworthy in the sense that we encountered an undercover Jehovah Witness. I say undercover because they normally wear straw hats as an unofficial way to identify them. Elder Jones and I were talking to an investigator when this woman came up to talk to us asking questions. She started to argue with us and when she used the word Jehova God we realized who she was. We exchanged pamphlets and parted ways.
  The next day (Thursday) we encountered the same woman at the place we met her the day before teaching our investigator. I in my chipper like demeanor talked to her and made some humorous comments about the weather which caused her to laugh and we parted ways. Though we don't agree on the same doctrine I had no issue expressing to her that I respected her willingness to share a message (like myself) that she believes to be true. Though we are not the best of friends by the nature of both of our purposes, I'm sure that we will encounter her again where we will continue being friendly towards each other which is something that I think is very important to do.
  On Friday the missionaries that are the mission president's assistants (the assistants to the president/ APs) came to spend a few hours with Elder Jones and I. One of them served with Elder Orchard so that was something in common that I found amusing. The day was good learning from him and picking up some new ideas for teaching. 
 On Saturday a woman named Philomina Mensah was baptized. She may not know as much as other people about the gospel, but she has a testimony of the truthfulness of it.
  Sunday was noteworthy because our ward had two graduates from BYU that came to visit Ghana for a business idea involving fish farms in third world countries. It was fun talking to them and I found it interesting how I have blended into the culture so far as I compare them to myself. After church the McCarthy Hills elders, Elder Nielsen, Cobbinah, Jones and myself, dressed up in some football jerseys and played finger football. We made a field from cardboard and put a little rubber cleat on our finger to kick the ball with.
