WOW, WOW, WOW, I can't believe that it has already been 6
weeks already transfer calls are coming up... let us all pray that sister
Walker stays :)
There reason that I wrote three WOWs was not just because
the transfer is over but also because this week was just WONDERFUL. So many
miracles and wonderful things.
So good news, this week Emma didn't feed us giant Bowls of
Oat mill. :) That was a wonderful blessing. However like always the trains here
were on strike again and so we had a lot of transportation problems. Blah, it
always messes with our daily schedule. Early this week we got to me with one of
our investigators named Nana. He is so so cool. It is taking him a little more
time to accept to be baptized than most of the Ghanaians ;) but he really knows
what it is about. It was just so cool because he just has so many good
questions and Kind of Challenges us to do better. To study harder and
deeper. He is also just such a crack up and makes as laugh so hard. The other
day we went to meet him and he was helping is GF move out of their house and we
asked if we could help him and he looked at us and said are you crazy.. You are
not strong enough that is obvious...that is very obvious! Ah man I just love my
mission and being able to interact with so many different people. I think I just
laughed so hard every day I am surprised I don't have a 6 pack.
So we teach a lady from Papa New Guinea named Gaure. She is
seriously the coolest I love her so so much. Last week we were talking and I
found out she knows how to Hula, so we started talking about it and she agreed
to teach us some daces. So last week she taught us a Hula dance, let’s just say
that I have lost all my dancing skills on a mission I took a video of us and it
was amusing to see us try to move our hips and fallow along with her ha-ha. She
is seriously such a great person though and has so so much potential for the
Gospel it just stinks because she is so scared.
So Miracles of the week. On exchange, with Sister
Bollwinkle, which was awesome because I just love her so much and am so glad
she got transferred to be in my exchange group again. We just had miracle after
miracle happen. To start off we had a great lesson with Ophelia this week about
all the commandments and to our surprise she just understood everything and
said she would fallow it all. Also our joint teach fell out with her which is
hard because her English is not so good so she doesn't understand things very
well, but someone she just understood and was able to respond back to us this
time around. Just got to love the gift of tongues!
Then we went by on a contact named Joseph, Sadly he wasn't
there however there were five of his friends were there and we talked for a
little and they all decided they wanted to come to church on Sunday. How cool
is that. :) Then we went and taught Joanna. She has not been feeling so good so
we thought that it would be so good if she could have a priesthood blessing. We
brought the Elders with us and what was cool was Joanna had invited two of her
friends to be there as well. How amazing. One of them we met with last week.
Her name is Flavia and we gave her a book of Mormon and asked her to read a
chapter in it. When we were there this time we asked if she has read in it and
what she thought. She said she reads it every day and that she knows it is true
and that she also wants to be baptized with Joanna in June. How cool? Then her
other friend was there and she had never heard from us before. We were able to
teach her the first lesson and talk about the priesthood and she got to see the
priesthood blessing which was amazing. She was so excited to know more and said
she is excited to meet and learn more about the church, as well as coming to
church this Sunday. :) We are so stoked.
Then this Sunday we went and met with a guy named Tommy who is
a really really big non-denominational Christian and in a Christian rap band!!!
Anyways he invited two of his other friends to meet with us and Tommy and his
guy friend were really not too interested, other than debating about the
doctrinal differences between, us and them. However the Spirit was just so so
so so so strong. I just knew in those moments when we bore our testimony about
the restoration, Joseph smith and the book of Mormon that all of this is
undeniable true. It was amazing. That even though they were not open to listen
all the way that the spirit was testifying so strong in the room. It was such a
miracle because then one of their friends Louise who was there wants to meet
with us again and agreed to take a book of Mormon and read about it. It is
amazing how we can find the prepared people, because it is really true that the
Lord does put his prepared people in the way of his prepared servants.
I just love it. And can I say Mom, dad and fambam how awesome
it was to see you yesterday. Skype was amazing and I miss you so so much.
Thanks for all your support. I really do love you all.
Just a little spiritual message for this week. We are
preparing a lesson for our ZTM this week and we are talking about the
promptings of the spirit and how it will help us in using technology. There was
a quote from Jeffry R Holland that I just love so so much. It says 'The
Children of God will not commit a serious sin without first having a warning
from the spirit" So so true. We have his promise that the spirit will
always be with us to guide and help us make right decisions in our lives. We
need to think more on that promise from our Heavenly Father. The spirit will
always warn us of danger spiritual or temporal.
Well I love you all and wish you a great week,
Sister Toma
