Elder Kacher from the Seventy June 4, 2018

Well, the rainy season is in full swing. It rains about 90% of the time and its always super muddy. We really didn't get much done this week because of the rain and my comp is having problems with his knees. We also had a mission tour with Elder Kacher of the Seventy on Thursday. It was super good and after I was 1 of 4 in three combined zones that was chosen to have a 1 on 1 interview with him. It was really cool to get to talk to a general authority, he's a powerful man. He asked questions just about me, the work, the mission and few other things.  He said to tell my mom that she should be very proud of me! :) Well we got transfer news on Saturday and to our surprise my companion is leaving. So I'll be getting a 3rd comp here in Tarkwa. I'm glad to stay in Tarkwa though.

Here is an email Elder Kacher sent to my mom and dad...

(Parker is definitely a man of little word...but Elder Brown's mom was so sweet to share with us Elder Browns letter.  He tells the experience from his perspective and I want Parker to be able to remember some extra details! :)
FROM ELDER BROWN'S LETTER HOME:
On Wednesday we had the mission tour with Elder Kacher of the Quorum of the Seventy. I learned so much from him. The church here in Ghana is struggling a bit. He told us that at the time the saints left Nauvoo they were spiritually stronger then the Ghanaians are right now where the church has been established for 40 years plus. He said that West Africa is the highest baptizing area in the world right now, but that Cape Coast and Ghana in general are the lowest. He said this is partly due to the negative mindsets of missionaries and encouraged us all to stop focusing on ourselves and put our faith in the Lord. When we do this miracles WILL happen! Afterwards President Hillam talked to us about sacrifice and how everything in this church requires some type of sacrifice because the Lord requires it of us. During the mission tour Elder Harris and I noticed that President and Sister Hillam kept looking at us. After lunch Sister Hillam gave us both a note that said Elder Kacher would like to meet with us. I’m not gonna lie, when I read that I started to freak out inside! haha. The interview with Elder Kacher was soooo cool. When I walked into the room I could just feel he was a servant of the Lord. After my interview Elder Harris and I were talking to President Hillam and he told us that before the mission tour had started Elder Kacher asked him to pray to know what two elders and sisters he could meet with. President told us he kept feeling the spirit tell him it should be me and Elder Harris. President then told us how rare and special of an occasion it is to have a one on one interview with a Seventy. It was special indeed!!”
