Buokrom -- A Hoppin Place

Dear Fam,

Elder Kakowa and I would love to take credit for another very successful week with four wonderful baptisms, but clearly, it's the Lord and his Spirit who have done it all.

We have been teaching a woman and her three children.  Another woman has already committed to be baptized which is just great.  We're also teaching another man who we feel very positive about. We are planning their baptism on the 29th of this month. The Lord continues to put people in our path which has been a sweet experience words cannot describe. 

Elder Kakowa and I enjoy opportunities to serve the people in our area making Buokrom the hoppin place for missionary work.  We helped an older sister in the branch clean out the gutter in front of the church. It is about 30 yards long and 2 feet deep, and the whole thing was full of sand and...well, lots of other stuff. People passing by seemed amazed that we were doing it to begin with, and that an Obroni was in town doing manual labor. haha  One even asked, "Obroni, why are you doing this work?  Are they paying you for this?"  With a smile on Sis B's face, she introduced E. Kakowa and I to everyone that stopped and also shared her feelings about the Church.

 


With just 4 more emails left it seems like just yesterday that I was in Elmina with Elder Leko talking about my first Fufu dinner.

I love you all very much.
