Press Forward Saints

Dear family and friends:)

Komenda is doing well! As time goes we learn more and more about where are center of strength is and I personally find more love for these people and area. 

So far we haven't had any investigators come to church. It's hard because they would have to travel a short way to attend and money is a problem for most individuals and families here. We love them though and are at the very least planting seeds in the hearts of many for when the church does establish a branch here. I'm not sure if I previously said that it may be possible to have our baptisms in the ocean because the nearest chapel with a font is over an hour away! That would be really exciting:)

I would like to give a shout out to my big wonderful sister Shea:) Turning 31 this coming Thursday so if you see here give her a big hug and kiss from me! I love you sister!:)

Birthday wishes written in the sands of time!

We had a really cool experience to sit down and talk with the head over the production of the new sugar factory here in Komenda. The Indian government is making it so he is from India:) He spoke pretty good English, but it was still hard to understand. He invited us into his nice home and we sat and talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ! For him he accepts all Gods which was nice and frustrating, but he said he wants to come to a church while he's in Ghana so he said he will have is driver take him to our church next Sunday! 

It was really humbling because this man holds a high position in the government and work and yet he understood the importance of listening to the word of God and treated us with the up most respect:) It was just really nice and a way my Heavenly Father has shown his love for me:)

We are having a lot of new investigators. It's hard to write about each one of them, but as of recent we started teaching a women named Kate. She speaks English, but her husband only speaks Fante. They have 6 sweet little girls. She was really touched when we talked about families and related that love she has for her children to the love Heavenly Father has for us. 

That is my favorite thing to talk about with investigators, especially those with children. Just letting them know God loves them and their children. I'm not sure by experience, but it seems like those with children have a better understanding of the greatness of God'ss love for us.

This next week should be really exciting, Today we roasted a pig and helped fishermen pull in nets (from land.) Tomorrow is a zone meeting... with food:) and Wednesday is interviews with President! 

Dear Family and Friends, it's my prayer that we will press forward, remembering our Savior, Jesus Christ. Life enya easy kraaaa ( Life's not easy at all):) But the Gospel is so sweet and can give us that peace that we desire. This is my humble testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
