I got a great surprise in my email today, Elder Cardon's mom forwarded me her son's letter from this week. I was so excited since Elder Hack's didn't make it over due to internet issues. Here are some funny and exciting excerpts from his letter. They sound like amazing missionaries and are having fun together! What a blessing!!
Church yesterday was my favorite sunday so far of my mission, by far. It
was fast and testimony meeting (no conference haha, maybe in a few months we'll
watch 1 session voiced over in Fante again...).But
then, they asked us missionaries to bare our testimonies first, and we talked
about how we're going to need members to help us, now that we're here full
time, and i bore my testimony about every member being a missionary. But then,
the rest of testimony meeting had a sweet missionary theme.The
members here are SO excited to have us here. Elder Hack and i have some great
ideas about getting the members involved, and if it all works out, things are
going to explode. Like, big time. I'm hoping to spend 2 or 3 transfers here, at
least. We had a random member of the Accra temple presidency attending too, and
he got up and did a really good job motivating the people to help us. I think
we can start getting 10 or more referrals a week and 20 or so member present
lessons a week. It's gonna be sweet. Our new branch president has a goal to
have a church building here in Axim by the time he's released. I hope it all
happens and it gives me goosebumps to think about haha. Then we went to sunday
school where we had an investigator, Moro, commit to baptism on Nov. 10! We
have 2 more people we're trying to prepare and give a date to for that day, so
we're hoping for 1 on the 19th of Oct, and 3 on Nov. 10! Finally, a funny story
from this week. So part of the members being so excited about us being here, is
that they've started feeding us more! I love it usually because i can put down
just about anything, but yesterday Hack SUFFERED. Hahahaha. Oh man. She made us
a HUGE ball of fufu, with soup and smoked fish. Hack hates the smoked fish, and
it makes the whole soup taste like smoked fish. So like 3 bites in he said he
was done, and there was absolutely no way i could eat the whole thing, the ball
was huge. Luckily Hackmeister had a water bottle in his backpack. Hahaha he
stood it up in his bag, and whenever Sister Felicia and family wasnt looking or
got up, he took a big chunk of fufu and put it in his water bottle inside his
backpack haha. We survived but i was stuffed. Oh my gosh. Hahaha it was funny.
But things are going great right now! We're working hard and doing our best for
everything to explode in Axim. We know that the Lord can do more with us than
we can do with ourselves, so we are just doing all that we can. It's an
exciting time right now.
