Another cool thing that happened this week is we were able to see the family from Ghana again. This time Elder Cameron Green (the one who just go back from Ghana temporarily) wasn't able to go with us, but we decided to see them anyways. We finished teaching the restoration, and really focused the lesson more on the daughter Lin.. She had some really good questions, and as well as answers. You could tell she understood most of the lesson. We invited her to church, and she said that she needed a ride. We got Elder Green y his family to give here a ride. On Sunday she was ready to go, and she even got her brother Joh. to come with here. The church went really well, and Elder Green told me that while she was in Relief Society she felt the spirit super strong and just felt good inside. After church there was a Ward Potluck because it was Ward Conference, and Lin. y Joh. were able to sit with the rest of the youth y they seemed to have a great time. There is another kid that attends the ward who is from Nigeria, so they were able to relate super well. She seemed super happy to come to church, and we are planning on seeing them several times this week!
After Church we went to visit a lady that had called out to us to use our phone the other day. We knocked and her husband (Jo.) came out and wasn't all that interested. We got to talking y he told us how his dad was a minister at the Church of Christ for 18 years, and had told him not to read the BOM. We helped explain to him a little more of what it is, and how it can help them in his life. He told us he was actually looking for a church right now, because of some things that had happened. By the end he ended up asking us for a copy of the BOM, and as well for our number because he wanted to make sure to call us if the Holy Ghost testified to him that the Book was true. During all this his dad happens to drive by, stops for a second, realizes who he is talking to and then drives away. Joseph started laughing, and said that is the first time ever that his Dad hadn't stopped by ha ha! He told us he was going to call him y give him crap. He said he wasn't going to mention that he had got a BOM to his dad though ha ha!. He was a super nice guy and seemed really sincere. It amazes me that other churches are so diligent in preaching against the BOM,, because they know if someone sincerely reads and prays about it, they will no doubt receive an answer. How blessed are we to have the knowledge of the Book of Mormon in our lives!
That is so awesome to hear that Jessica Smith is coming back out to the mission! The last time I talked to her was in Memphis for the 40th anniversary and she said that there hardly was a chance of her being able to come out. That's super sweet though, great example of diligence and finishing what you started!
That about does it for me this week, and this next week should be a great one as well. I hope y'all have an awesome week and I appreciate the emails! Love you!
Love,
Élder Geddes
