This week was full of
trying to find some more people to teach and also preparing Benjamin, Patience
and their two kids for baptism on this Sunday coming. We aren't having the same
success with our contacting before even though we are out doing it the same
way. But we're doing our best and know that the people come. Elder Gibson came
up with a brilliant idea to do a fireside where each ward member is expected to
bring an investigator. We're planning on that by the end of the month. It
should help us to get our teaching pool going again. It's just a manner of
using different tactics I guess. One month the contacting is the thing working
and the next month it's referrals. Mission just keeps us on our toes ha.
Also we have been
really enjoying going around and teaching our recent converts about the temple
and family history. Jennifer is so excited!! She is already finding names and
going to our family history teacher to put them in the computer so she can be
prepared for the temple trip where they will take the recent converts on April
21st. They will have a great experience there. We've given the temple liahona
to Millicent and she is amazed at how beautiful the temple is. It's really
exciting to see them continuing to progress after their baptisms.
It was easter weekend! Easter is one of the most celebrated holidays in Ghana.
A lot of the shops have been shut down since Friday. In Cape Coast they have
huge conventions for certain churches where members from all over Ghana come
and stay the weekend and worship the entire Easter. So we have been surrounded
by really loud music, pastors screaming in tongues and loud prayers ha. It's
cool to see their culture but when it's like a hundred meters from the
apartment and they go all night then it gets on my nerves a little ha. They are
all leaving now so we can have our peaceful sleep back, thank goodness ha!
Well, i hope everyone
had a great Easter. And i just gotta throw this in here, GO YANKEES!! I know
they lost but what's three games out of 162. It's all good!
I love you all!
Elder Rogers
