This Crazy Week

All the Missionaries in the Ghana Accra Mission.
They were together this past week for a devotional with Elder Patrick Kearon and Elder Nash.

Conner's Weekly Email:

This last week we had transfers and I was supposed to get a new companion, then after some small confusion and a few phone calls to the president, I still don't know what is going to happen in my area.  It is a little stressful not knowing who and when I will start living and working with someone new but that is just another day in field.  We also had to all go to Accra, a 3 hour drive due to traffic, for a devotional.  It was really cool.  There was even another mission there.  Elder Nash and Elder Kearon from the First Quorum of the Seventy and two other area 70's spoke to us.  Elder Nash and his wife stressed how everyone needs to use the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is Faith in Christ, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Holy Spirit, and Enduring to the end, everyday to achieve success and to leave a legacy for our children to follow. The spin he put on it was unique and entertaining.  Elder Kearon (from London) and his wife spoke about exact obedience, especially with the morning routine.  I think my new favorite chapters in scripture are John 14 and 15.  I really felt the Spirit as such inspired men tried to impart wisdom to us.  As far as the work is going, things are starting to slow down. I hope that all the work we have done and the seeds we planted will lead to us or others to reap in this area.  I love the people here and I hope that they gain a desire to begin working out their salvation.  We teach how and give guidance but the change they make comes from within.  I know that only through that restored gospel of Jesus Christ they and all of us can find peace not as the world gives but as He gives(John 14:27).  I hope everything back home is going great and that everyone is enjoying life.

Love,

Elder Garrison
