Elder Jimmy Henderson: Come, Listen, and Receive Your Miracle!

Hello dearest family and friends! How are you? I'm fine. #ghanaislit This week was pretty interesting. It was a slow proselyting week because none other than Evangelist Daniel Kolenda was in town! He came all the way from Florida just to baptize all of Tamale with the Holy Spirit, distribute the blessing of Salvation to all, and set fire to witch doctor items. Literally every Christian in Tamale was there to "receive their miracle." So as you can probably guess, having lessons was kind of a struggle since this guy was going all. freaking. week. #yayforapostatepreachers

It was okay though because we countered by street contacting right outside the event and we were able to pick up a few investigators who for some reason felt unfulfilled by their experience with Mr. Kolenda. #wehadthespiritwithus

Also on Wednesday we had the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast with Elders Oaks, Anderson, Bednar. It was really good! I'd encourage everyone at home to get on lds.org and watch it because it has some really good information even for non-missionaries. In it they also made some changes to the daily schedule that gives us more flexibility with our schedules. For instance, personal study can now take place for 60 minutes between the hours of 6:30-10:00 and companionship study can take place at any unproductive time of day. Also, our key indicators have been reduced. We'll no longer be reporting how many lessons of any kind are taught, how many referrals are contacted, or how many investigators are progressing. So that's a pretty big change.

That's pretty much it for this week! Love you all!
