From Sept. 10, 2012: Blessed to Serve with Elder Bladen; Sprained Shin


On Monday Elder Bladen and I went into Accra to the art center before I go home. It was the first time Elder Bladen had been and he enjoyed it. The last time I was there was just under a year and a half. 
  On Tuesday the APs and zone leaders came to our district meeting and it was to help our district improve its current low performance. Elder Bladen's back had acted up frequently which hindered us, but other than that we did fine. After our meeting we had a great day meeting our investigators, Jonathan, Awudu, and Frances. Awudu was able to read many various segments of the Book of Mormon and after trying several times, we were able to meet Frances and he had read the first 10 chapters in the book. 
  Wednesday we contacted a bit and extended several dates. I have recently been thinking a lot about how I am blessed to be able to serve with Elder Bladen before I go home. He is a real friend. I feel that I had overlooked this blessing while serving in a difficult area. 
  Thursday Elder Bladen's back started to act up and we called it a day after the first lesson. I was able to study a while and at the end of the day we went to a program at the church supporting the youth to serve missions. 
  Friday we went to get my leg checked out at a medical center. My shin has been giving me issues from two Mondays ago after a sports activity for the zone. Basically I was told that I have a sprain and I have to rest my leg by staying inside keeping it elevated. As a result Elder Bladen and I were only able to go out Monday-Wednesday with a lesson on Thursday. We were able to have decent numbers at the end of the week in relation to what happened this week. It was a shame though because Elder Bladen and I were working hard during the week and we were hoping for a good end of the week.  That's basically it.
