Well this time of the year is mango season. It is my favorite fruit here. The season really only lasts ~3 months so I am trying to get my fill. Lately I have been eating one as my breakfast and dinner. One can't be upset when they eat a mango. It will turn that frown upside down.
Wednesday was the interview of our investigator, Gifty, for baptism. Gifty is 17 whose family are members of the church. One thing I learned as well was the reason why gossiping is bad. I was around a person while they were gossiping about a wonderful family. I did my part by not getting involved and giving the person (the one being gossiped about) compliments. However, after the conversation ended the words the person had said stuck in my head and I began to look at the person talked about negatively. I have ousted the negativity from my thoughts, but I learned why gossiping is such a detrimental thing.
Thursday Elder Macaulay and I spent time talking about what makes an area- the missionaries or the area's variables. I think that the missionaries are the variable for success or failure for an area. I had the opportunity to talk to another Elder I had lived with and after the conversation I was motivated to develop more faith in the area I am in and myself. I am looking forward to the results.
Saturday Gifty, our investigator was baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. Sunday we also had two investigators at church with one that we are working for baptism this month. His name is Emmanuel and he met the missionaries in the UK on two occasions and then found the church here. It is amazing to see how people are prepared over the years. In the ward, there was a woman from Hawaii who is working at a school owned by members of the church. She will be in our ward until May.
