Just another week...

Sorry fam... but unfortunately nothing super interesting happened this week. Most of the country is kind of in a bad mood because the Ghana Black Stars just got eliminated from the African Cup, getting knocked out of place by Burkina Faso so that was pretty disappointing. Also I heard Tom Brady just won another Super Bowl. #Whoopdeedoo.
 

Finding has honestly not been easy pretty much the whole time I've been here in Tamale. But I think we hit a record low this week. On the plus side we may be having some baptisms this month! #yay

We started teaching Mary (Rose's sister) and she's been attending church and progressing very well. I expect she will be baptized by the end of the month. We also found a member named Jocelyn who's records were still in Kumasi from when she lived there. She hasn't been to church for years because the Ghanaian tradition is that a woman must attend the same church as her husband. #thesexismisreal But she has been helping us to teach her next door neighbor, Gladys. And now Gladys wants to come to church! #spirit!

 

We also met Emmanuel, he's a referral from one of our former investigators (also his mother) Susanna. He's been struggling a lot with guilt so we found it a good opportunity to preach some repentance. #preachrepentancebaptizeconverts We invited him to be baptized in our third visit with him but he said he'd need a week to think about it. #ugh.

I'm back on a rice and stew diet... just for kicks and giggles. I'm attaching some pictures.

Also... at the Daniel Kolenda thing last week we met Abigail, who we invited to church and haven't had a lesson with yet... but she came to church! And seemed to really enjoy herself. She has even been calling us to make sure we can meet with her this week. She's powerful!

That's it for this week kids! I'm really enjoying myself out here and I love getting all of your emails! Please feel free to send pictures! Like... seriously... haha I love getting pictures...
