And October is basically over too.  Everyone goes by faster.                               Oct 20, 2014

Hope everyone is doing well this week!  This week was full of surprises for us.  We have a great Mom and son we are teaching.  They are pretty sweet.  The mom came to Church on her own the other day and then her son came last week.  He is really enthusiastic about the Gospel.  He wants to learn all this stuff about Christ and his life and everything.  He hasn't been baptized before and at first when we invited them he wasn't super excited but now he loves the idea. 

 On Sunday we got a sweet referral from a member, our assistant ward mission leader, Bro A.  The guy is cool.  He met the missionaries 7 years ago and lost contact with them but has been reading from our Old Testament study manual and had a bunch of questions for us.  Not the best place to start for a beginner but we had a nice conversation about Jesus Christ being Jehovah.  That is actually a big concern people have in Ghana.    He's a cool guy.  He actually doesn't go to church anymore because he doesn't believe in any of them but when we met him he basically said "You are the only one that I have met twice so that has to be something different about you guys."  Yep, How about the restored gospel.  I love the gospel.  It's life changing.

That brings me to this sweet guy I met in another area on an exchange this week.  He is 14 years old and is a recent convert.  I have no idea how he joined the Church because his parents hate the Church.  The kid is a stud though and comes to Church every week and passes the sacrament and reads from the Book of Mormon and is awesome.  The faith of some of the Saints here is so touching.  

Sunday I got a visit from some of my friends in the Kaneshie Ward! There is one old couple I was great friends with.  Right when I left they got called to be PEF missionaries.  So I was sitting in sacrament with some members and the meeting ended and I stand up and hear an Unforgettable "Elder Clark."  I turned around and was so surprised to see them sitting there with tags and all.  I tried to get a picture but it didn't work out but they are coming back in a few weeks so we will get one then.  It was super cool to see them again.  I still love Kaneshie with all my heart.

Anyway, love you all!


Elder Clark
