May 1, 2017 Well, this week there will be plenty of pictures! The reason I’m emailing so late in the day and you probably thought you missed me was because of this…We went to Paga!

Grace and the Heat
March 6, 2017 Hope in Grace Things were interesting and crazy this past week. Everything is really grand here. The thing that I really can report on is the fact that I personally believe that we’re having a baptism this week (my companion is not so convinced). There is a woman who has been taughtContinue reading “Grace and the Heat”
White Shirts & Ties and Bolga
Feb 27, 2017 Going To Visit Bolgatanga This week was really awesome. We ended up going to Bolgatanga to switch places with some other Elders for a short period of time (we call that going on exchanges). That place is super sweet. You can literally see the Spirit working in people who just come upContinue reading “White Shirts & Ties and Bolga”
2017
January 2017 My Testimony Has Been Strengthened Last week was awesome! Two people were baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. One of them was in our area and the other was in my old area, so both were technically mine, if you count it that way. But it was truly awesome! I loved itContinue reading “2017”
Being Led by the Spirit and Celebrating My Birthday in Ghana
Teaching by The Spirit I was thinking back on when we were getting ready to move to Mount Vernon and my parents wanted me to pick where I wanted to go to school, CR or MtV. Katie chose CR Kennedy.

General Conference Week
We Got to Watch Conference This past week we had General Conference! Yay! I actually did get to watch three sessions, one of which was live. The Sunday morning session- which I watched from 4pm-6pm, was wonderful. Although, I really missed the potluck we would have at home between the sessions. I also got to watchContinue reading “General Conference Week”
Helping Hands
This Week in Obuasi This week we had another baptism. Her name is Sister Vivian. She was a referral given to us by her friend that is kinda struggling with being active.

Service with a Smile and a Cutlass
A District Activity with Service Time has been flying. Like seriously. I can’t believe that I’ve already spent one full transfer as a zone leader. This past week has been pretty normal missionary work, but today we had a district activity. It started out well. We had a service project where I got another cutlass and startedContinue reading “Service with a Smile and a Cutlass”
