Gunnar Ghana On A Mission: LIVING LOVING AND ALL OF THE ABOV'ING

September 28, 2015

Good afternoon! Family and Friends eh te sien?( How are you?) obusea mo hoi ti sien?( family how are you?)

This week flew by... too fast, too fast. It was really sweet though:) Went on exchanges with Elder Nielsen our District Leader. He is a really powerful guy. Every transfer I've been here I've had a new district leader which has been cool because they all have been so different and powerful. He gave instruction on fear and it was really eye opening and inspiring:) Talking about the 10 things people fear the most in the world being... responsibility, unknown, death and so on. I don't have my notes here with me but then he showed how if we fear God, all of those other fears go away:) It was crazy cool:)

Mission is long-o! haha It's not easy. I ask my self some days, "Wow, can I really do this for the time I have left?" The answer is YES!:) In those times of doubt I just turn to my Heavenly Father, my Savior, Jesus Christ, and my why for coming on mission. Everything else melts away and I feel a deep profound love for me and a deeper understanding of things that are temporal like mosquito bites, runny tummy, home sickness, heat...all of those things and gain a deeper understanding of things that are Eternal like my love for the people, my love for my Savior, my understanding of the Atonement, and the joy that comes from doing the will of the Father.

BEEP BEEP BEEP "INCOMING TRANSMISSION"

Just received... a baptism has taken place in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission, Candidate: NANA SETH NYARKO of the Akrofuom Branch, ASSIN FOSU Stake. John the Baptist: Elder GRIFFIN of the GHANA CAPE COAST MISSION

It's true, it's true Bro Seth has been baptized:) It was so powerful. Nana Seth is one of those golden investigators. He started coming to church on his own. He's given us friends to teach as well. He cleans the chapel in the morning with the members and he even gave me a list of the information he thought I would need for his baptismal record... unheard of. I really think this guy has received some serious personal revelation that the church is true because he is willing to give up to keep the commandments and follow Jesus Christ for the rest of his life. It was a happy day:)

We have some other progressing investigators. Samuel Amankwa ( AKA KING KONG) Sis Mary, Mark, his brothers Renard and Richard. We are really excited to continue helping these people develop their faith in Christ, repent, be baptized, receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Endure to the end:)

I love you all. I know the Church is true and that as we turn our hearts and our minds towards the Savior we will be enabled to align our will with God's and become more fully the sons and daughters he intends us to be:) In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Ya beshea why(we will meet ok)

Sincerely,

Elder Bramwell
