Hello everyone,                                                                                            Oct 14, 2013

How was your week? We had another fun week in Ghana.

We had some great lessons this week.  We met a new person and started teaching him. He doesn't speak English but he can understand it for the most part and I don't speak Twi and I really can't understand it for the most part so it was a fun lesson. We were laughing a lot and had a good time so he asked us to come back. We went back Saturday night and as soon as we sat down I noticed a lot of wine and saw a Word of Wisdom problem and the first thing he did was walk over to a bottle and bring it to me and ask me if it was ok to drink wine. We said no and he had a little bit of a hard time with that but he accepted the no alcohol thing and promise to come to church. Sunday he actually did come too, I was really surprised but it turned out so GOOD. He has a lot of friends who a members and he loved the church.  In Investigators class he was asking questions and making comments left and right.  He loved the church and after church he told me that he was going to keep coming back every week.  Sweet!

Another boy came to church yesterday too. We started teaching him and his 2 friends a few weeks ago but pretty much stopped teaching, yesterday he showed up at church.  He said the other 2 sent him to take pictures of the church and bring it back to show them before they would come. He wanted to leave when one of the members walked up to him and is one of his teachers at school. He took him and made sure he was understood everything and introducing him to the deacons and teachers.  

Those were pretty much the high lights of my week. We found a 2 less actives just through our finding this week which was really cool. One of them is an old man who stopped coming to church 6 or 7 years ago because his family doesn't really like the church.  I guess we just have to find a way to get him back to church.  He said he was going to at one point but he never got around to it.

I experienced the "rain wall" this week. Twice actually. It was nuts. So basically the rain wall is like a wall, of rain.  You can literally hear it coming.  We were walking on a path doing some contacting and I heard it coming.  It sounds like a big wind storm but there was only a light breeze.  I turned around and it was just a wall of gray.  I moved really fast just as it started pouring buckets or rain on us. We ran under the roof of the closest house to wait it out. The second one was yesterday. It was even worse. It moved a lot slower so I got to watch it moved across the yard of a house we were at. The far side it was raining super hard but we were still in the sunlight.  It was nuts!
That's about it for us this week.  I hope you all have a great week!

Love,
