Lots of People

1. Ghana has lots of people and not many like to learn about Gospel or at least the true gospel

2. To eat chicken is very expensive but makes missionaries happy.

So this week has been fun, not many exchanges so i have not been too busy on that front but we have been working hard to try and fill our teaching pole. Many people here in Ghana will let you teach a time or two and then when you try to go to them again they will never be around. It makes it a lot of fun to try and have two days worth of people to teach when both me and my companion have another person in the area with us.... We have been attempting to find a lot more people who will actually be able to make the steps of repentance, it has been fun to see the blessings of it. We have already seen a growth in sacrament meeting attendance. It has been a blessing to us since we have been working our tails off. 

This week it has been different, even today, it has become so easy to work now. I know when i first started i was not as bold as i am now. I have seen the changes in the way i act and talk. I really feel like a representative of the Lord. One thing though that came to my mind when preparing for a talk in sacrament (because the people suppose to give talks never came). So in the five min i had to prepare i thought a lot about commandments and following though with it all. But something also came to my mind. The idea of the Name of Jesus Christ written on our hearts. I found myself thinking that i never really want the name to leave. I pray that i have worked hard enough out here so the Name on my chest has burned deep into my heart. It reminded me of our Baptisml Covenant, we promise to be willing to take upon ourselves the name of Christ. We promise that we will comfort mourn with and lift all around us who need our help. What i love about the covenant is that it doesn't specify the person or their mentality it just says those that mourn, those that stand in need of comfort. We promised or will promise to do that for others. This led me to think of who we might need to help. It also got me thinking about promptings again. Too often we let our selves forget that even if a prompting seems to have not result in the end it will change everything. Can you imagine being Moses and being prompted to divide a sea!!!!!! Instead we are asked to visit to send a scripture text of even to say hi. Just do it and never have to feel the regreat of not followeing the Spirit.

I love you all and love talking about helping those in need. There is a lot that God would like to have us do, most of the time the only thing stopping the full speed of the work is his unobservant servants. Keep your mind open for God to direct you
