Well I can't believe it but I've already had my second General Conference on my mission. We watched the Saturday morning session Saturday night just the missionaries at the internet cafe. When they did the solemn assembly all of us stood up in the cafe and raised our hands it was kinda funny. Then on Sunday we watched the Saturday afternoon Priesthood session, and Sunday morning back to back, so it was along 6 hours. It was cool to see things changed up but it was weird not to see Pres Monson. Easter here has been crazy. In Ghana they celebrate Easter for 4 days straight. And it celebrated by going to church in the morning for like 7 hours then getting drunk all night. All night we can here all the churches dancing and speaking in tongues haha. So it was a pretty good week.
This is Elder Brown .. his mom sent my mom part of his email this week and my mom wanted to save it for me.....
I wanted to share part of Matthew’s (Elder Brown’s) letter this week with you. He couldn’t say enough about how much he and Elder Harris get along. He sees them being life long friends. 😊
What an awesome week we had here in Tarkwa!!! The week started off on Wednesday when E. Harris and I were on exchange. Since E. Tupola is the DL he likes to go on exchanges everyweek. Let me tell you a little about E. Harris. So E. Harris and I came to Ghana together from the states. We didnt really know each other all that much when we were in the MTC. It wasn't until we were taking the bus from Accra to Cape Coast that we became really good friends. E. Harris is a farm boy from Idaho and is such a nice guy! He loves to hunt and spend time out doors. On Wednesday he came to my area and I still didn't know it all that well and didn't really know were any of the investigators lived yet. So we spent the day just mostly walking in the rain and just laughing and having a good time. We did teach a lesson though to one of our investigators. His name was Timothy and we taught him about Prophets. He refused to pray about Russel M. Nelson being a prophet. He just wanted us to tell him who a false prophet was and who wasn't. I was a little worried about E. Harris and I teaching because I was unsure how it would go. It turned out that E. Harris and I can teach really well together. We knew exactly when to switch off and when the other one was ending. We were able to have the spirit there (the spirit was so strong) and we were able to resolve Timothy's concerns. That was easily the best lesson that I sat in since being here in Ghana because the Spirit that was felt there was so intense. I hope Timothy will pray and find out the truth. And I hope me and E. Harris will be companions at some point.
