6 month celebration - Hawaiian Pizza

by dad

Six months. For p-day, Elder Darrow’s apartment, along with the Kwekuma and the Nketsiakrom apt. all went to North Sea. He had a 6 month celebration meal - Hawaiian pizza, which he said was tasty. He says the 6 months “went by crazy fast but looking ahead I still have a lot of time left.” His latest email…

This week has been crazy busy and I’m about to tell you all about it.

Transfer news. The mission was rattled around for sure. But as for our apartment, no change. :)

Man was I stoked to hear that. Oh Sekondi... home sweet home. Which basically means, at the end of this transfer I will have been in Sekondi for 7 1/2 months and been with my comp for 3 transfers. I’m just gonna soak it up. I would stay here as long as they need me. At church on Sun I noticed that I knew all the people there and they knew me. Really is home. Love that ward.

(home sweet home for another 6 weeks)

On Tuesday we had a General Authority, Elder Sitati come. That was really cool. He talked about unity. Not only as missionaries but in the church as well. He also talked a lot about our area books and about really setting goals with names behind each number. Just really knowing all our investigators by name and their own needs etc. It was inspirational.

Also at the conf. Pres. Sabey introduced the new goal... By Feb. 27th 2011, every missionary will have baptized someone who was referred to us by a recent convert (Anyone baptized within the last year) and every missionary will help a recent convert prepare a name of one of their ancestors and have them go to the temple for them. It’s gonna be fun!

On Tuesday, September 21 Grace Bonsi is to be baptized a member of the church by her husband.

All is on plan for the Tuesday night baptism of Grace Bonsi. Should be a very fun and memorable night. We stopped by bro. Kumah this week and convinced him to perform the ordinance. It will mean so much more to her and his family if he does it. So he’s getting in the water on Tuesday night. *huzah! (that must be “hurrah” in Fante!)

Had a really sweet lesson with Agymang and Patricia this week. They want to be baptized so badly but their father is in the way. So plz pray for them and their stubborn dad. sigh…

All is going well with Patrick. Love that guy and his baptism will be sometime within the next transfer i’m sure. Couldn’t sit with Isaac this week cuz he was really busy with work and was gone over the weekend. Still waiting to follow up but we talk over the phone a lot and he seems interested still.

Sorry I don’t have more time. Love you guys lots and lots. All is well.

(music note) don’t worry... be happy now.
