Three of the five baptisms are actually from one family. They’re called the Dubik family. They come from the northern region from a town called Bunkpurugu. Missionaries have beenContinue reading “Still Working Hard”

I Have Been Assigned a Different Area So, I have had a shake up! I have been transferred to a city in the southern zone of the mission, called Obuasi (oh-BWAH-see). It is mountainous and there are many gold mines here (I’ve even heard that gold is much cheaper in Obuasi than anywhere else in GhanaContinue reading ““A Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” in Obuasi”

So this week things happened. After Prayer and Fasting, everything seems to be improving from the inside out. Training is Going Better Things with my companion are going well.

Six Months
I can’t believe I have been out for six months already… The time here is going by so quickly; life as a missionary is good. And strangely enough, Africa is beginning to seem rather normal to me, the people, the food, and the weather. And some more good news….the cockroaches should be exterminated this week.Continue reading “Six Months”

A Baptism We had a baptism this week! His name is Solomon. Things are going super well here. In fact, President Cosgrave has called me to train a new missionary coming in this transfer. It’s going to be a new experience trying to build up his knowledge, teaching, and finding skills, but The Lord has called meContinue reading “One Constant is Change”
Being Where the Lord Needs Us
You Never Know Who You Will Touch This week something really cool happened! We met a man who was flat out drunk and he was disturbing us in a lesson with his uncle. He just walked up to us and started asking us weird questions that he could hardly say, let alone understand when weContinue reading “Being Where the Lord Needs Us”
Keeping Cool
The Bugs and the Beeping So this week has been a little nuts. We finally got some insecticide to spray what we thought to be a small cockroach infestation, which turned into a much bigger cockroach infestation as we found out how many there really were. We didn’t even get all of them, we needContinue reading “Keeping Cool”
