From March 7, 2011: Tuesday: Well our investigator named Tei was very depressed a few days last week. Elder Jones and I eventually took him to get French Toast from the woman we taught. He enjoyed it and saved some for his friends. Tei and his friend Sulo came to church this Sunday by themselves as well. We were going to have him interviewed for baptism, but after meeting with the father he said that Tei could come to the church, but not be baptized. We are going to teach the father the restoration of the Gospel this week.
Wednesday: Elder Jones and I went to see the member Alice Walice to teach her husband and a friend. Before the lesson she asked us to give a blessing to her son who was sick. It was a testimny builder seeing her faith. We also found out that Alice Walice is married to her cousin, Godfred, our investigator. She said it is a tradition in the family.
Saturday: Well like any other day here, it was hot and I keep getting sunburnt, creating a larger tan line.
Sunday: Our friend Mary Asarie has a bakery where one of her students was graduating so she invited us for the party. When we arrived we realized the party was more of a makeshift church service and because it was in Twi, we were talking and trying not to laugh for what we got ourselves into while the prayer was going on. We stayed for 30 minutes and left. The typical Ghanaian service is filled with Amens, In the name of Jesus phrases, cover ourselves in the blood of Jesus, and other interesting words and phrases that are yelled into the microphone. I do not feel the spirit when I walk by one of them.
