Elder Mease Week 40




hey everyone! what a great week it was this week, I was able to experience zone conference that we had on Tuesday and I learned so much from my mission president and am more than ready to continue to be a better servant of the lord! it is important to understand the blessings that come when we are fully obedient to the lord and there is a reason and purpose that I came here to Ghana! and that is to serve the lord and nothing else, I am so very thankful for this gospel and how it has not only blessed my family but the families of those I teach and I am striving each day of my mission to be the best missionary I can be for my heavenly father! this opportunity only comes around once and it is important to make EACH DAY COUNT!

this week was powerful! me and my companion elder palaiti have been doing great in our area! our recent convert brother arhin just gave us two referrals who are progressing so very much! and their testimonies of the gospel have improved so much since the first lesson we had with them! also another one of our recent converts by the name of yaw is having us come to his home and continue teaching his family! he wants to baptize all of his family and neighbors in the church so very bad and also referred us to one of his good friends named mark this week! the branch in anyinabrim is GROWING and it's just the beginning! we still have so much work to do to continue to help others in the vicinity to receive this restored gospel!

this week in our branch we had 25 people at church.. not as many people here in anyinabrim than at churches from home but so much more than when I first arrived in the area! my first week here we had 5 people in church! the amount of people that me and my companion are teaching is amazing and I am so happy for the branch, and also we had a baptism just the other day of a man by the name of brother Isaac! coming up out of the waters of baptism and seeing the joy on his face made me so very excited for him! he said to me after he had been baptized how happy he was that he is finally saved in the lord's church! his testimony is powerful and I am so thankful to not only teach this gospel but to see how it blesses lives around me! 

I still can't believe that I have almost been out for 10 months and seeing others at home starting to get their mission calls! it seems like just yesterday that I opened my call and have already been serving for this amount of time! MISSIONARY WORK IS DIVINE and I am so thankful for my mission president and also for those around me who help me and my companion keep the work in our area growing and bringing more souls unto Christ! 

I miss you all so much as always hope everything is going well back at home!:) love you all and hope you each have a wonderful week! more and more blessings come each day as we develop our faith in the lord! always remember him and the sacrifice which he gave for all of gods children! I look to his example in everything I do because without him I am nothing! I am more than happy to be his servant and bring gods children unto him! I will talk to each of you next week! much love
