Another busy but rewarding week has slipped by and finding time to write about it is proving challenging. It was our third transfer week and like all transfer weeks it was filled with missionaries coming and going. Since last week was about water, it seemed only proper that this week should be about bread. Perhaps … Continue reading The Bread of Life

The Waters of Life On Monday evening we left the house around 3:30 pm to meet Elder Nsungi and Elder Akpan to go over and visit Lazarus and Amelia and their two children.  This is a family they have been working with for some time now.  Their oldest daughter Treasure has been baptized, but the parents are … Continue reading The Water of Life

What a great week it has been! With the completion of the zone conferences last week, we had the opportunity to spend more one-on-one time with the missionaries through interviews, a district council and our first proselyting experience. On Tuesday we attended the Dichemso District Council meeting with Elder Aidoo, Elder Barrowes, Sister Codjoe and … Continue reading Isaac and Angel

On Sunday we drove out to the Patriensa Branch to attend Church. Patriensa Branch is part of the Konongo District.  It will become a stake next week which will be a great thing to have the 5th stake in our mission.  It will join Bantama, University, Suame and Dichemso.  The reason we went to Patriensa was to get to … Continue reading Progress

There were three main purposes of the meeting.  1) Build a shared vision as to where the MLC wants to take the mission.  2) Advance the concept of becoming … Continue reading Shared Vision

This week has been the largest transfer for the mission this year: 20 missionaries in and 9 going out. In addition, we did a reconfiguration of the zones along with a few districts, and called and trained new leaders and trainers.  Couple that with a Covid scare that delayed two of our American missionaries from returning home … Continue reading They Come and They Go

Our Happy Place On Monday morning, I again went and played some basketball.  This time Elder Muhlestein came and we played 2 on 2.  Elder Latapu and I lost 2 of the 3 games, but we had great exercise and fun.  Elder Yancey was unstoppable. I returned home around 8:30 am, got cleaned up, finished packing, finished some … Continue reading Our Happy Place

After a busy travel schedule last week, we appreciated having some home time this past week.  It didn’t mean we weren’t busy; we just did most of the work from the Mission Home and Mission Office.  We really appreciated the change in pace. On Monday I went and played basketball again with Elder Yancey and Elder Latapu.  Elder … Continue reading Vaccines!
