On Monday we went to the cafe and the market for some food stuffs.
While the market is hectic, I always enjoy the cultural experience.
Later in the evening we showed a family how to hold Family Home
Evening with bringing an investigator to it as well. Her name was
Angela and she lives next to this member family. Angela can't read,
but she is being well fellowshipped and came to church for her second
time this past Sunday.
On Tuesday we went to get x-rays for my knees and it was a fun
experience as I have only been in a hospital on two other occasions.
The x-ray technician was an older man, very friendly, and we had some
fun conversations during my visit. There are no bone issues with my
knees and the mission doctor thinks that the issue is that they are
being over used, whatever that means.
Thursday Elder Achola and I went into Accra for Zone Leaders
Council. ZLC is one of the highlights of my months recently. We talked
about how we can be better missionaries for the members and not to be
missionaries that people are burdened by. After ZLC we met and taught
a woman named Ruda at the church. I spent time thinking on where I
need to improve as a missionary and a person and I feel that I need to
be more humble. I also feel that I am spiritually immature compared to
Edler Achola so that will have to improve. As of now I feel that if I
can understand the importance of the message I have to share, then I
will be able to focus more in the lessons we teach and teach with more
power from the spirit. I feel that ELder Achola is miles ahead of me
and I need to do a better job to stay on pace.
Saturday Elder Achola and I had another one of our conversations on
what we need to do better in and for our area. One of the main things
that came as a result was that he helped open my eyes to how I before,
and durring this transfer, were focusing on people who had issues
and were not able to progress. He helped open my eyes and I hope to be
able to keep up with his vision and at the very least try and obtain
some for myself too. In the day we also met with a man named Prince
who was to be baptized several months ago, but didn't come to his
baptism. He showed up at church on Sunday and he said for his cold
feet with the attempted baptism was due to feeling that he was being
rushed into things. We will work with him to develop a serious
testimony.
Sunday we did interviews in New Legon (my former ward) and it was
good to see the growth in the ward. Elder Cosper is doing well there
and is working hard.
