Man! Thank you all so much for the powerful Birthday wishes! It only took 11.5 months of my mission but I'm finally 19. #oneyearolderandwisertoo I know all of you want to know what I did for my birthday so I'll just tell you... I proselyted. But never fear, because tonight I'm going to feast at Eusbett! #feastuponit Eusbett is the hotel here in Sunyani. A few weeks ago we scouted out the restaurant. It has a lot of food that I haven't seen in a very long time so I'm excited.
My birthday was actually very VERY sweet because I had the wonderful privilege of confirming Kelvin. It was a really powerful experience. I was actually worried (and so was he) because he came late and even missed sacrament. We were worried we would have to wait until next week but luckily after the last talk the Branch President called us up and we were able to do it just before the meeting ended. Now we are working on family history with him. #yayforgenealogy
It's interesting because family history is really REALLY difficult to do in west Africa where absolutely no records were kept by anyone until Ghana gained independence from Great Britain. So he's gonna have to do some digging but we are hoping to get his mom involved in helping out with this as a means of introducing her to the gospel. She's a great woman but she has never had any interest in meeting with us or leaving her apostate church. #seedifficulties
Well, I hope you all know how much I love each and every one of you. I love hearing from you guys #andgettingpicturesfromyou and I'm so grateful for the overwhelming support I've been getting from home. I want to make it very clear how much credit my parents deserve for my being here. I love them so much and I'm so grateful for their amazing examples to me. I hope someday to be as powerful as my mother and father. I love you guys.
