This last week was a super busy week. Monday night we went on an exchange with the Zone Leaders. I went with Elder Cordon, and I really liked him. He is from Guatemala. In fact, his government didn't send a plane to Ghana during the Covid lock down, so he was the only obroni in the mission until we got back. It was fun talking to him.
Wednesday we went to the area office. Elder Bray met with Elder Kacher of the seventy. I got to meet him, and I am always impressed with General Authorities of the church. They have set apart the rest of their lives to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and you can feel how the Atonement has shaped them.
Thursday we had Zone Conference. It was probably the most spiritual one that I have had on the mission. It had little to do with the message that was shared but the spirit which was felt. It was my last Zone Conference so I had an opportunity to bear my testimony. I have always thought about bearing my testimony at Zone Conference. What kind of person will I be when I am about to go home? I could feel the spirit whisper to me some of the ways that I have changed for the better on my mission as I bore my testimony. I am grateful for that experience.
Friday we went on another exchange. I went with Elder Chiadikaobi, a Nigerian who has been out for less than 6 months. We met a family of 7 who seemed very excited to learn more. They seemed to be excited when they saw the Book of Mormon. The father, Prince, was captivated by it and really wanted to read it. I pray that things continue to go well and they get baptized before I leave.
Sunday, we had a multi-Stake Conference. They split the Ashaman and Tema Stakes to make a new Stake called the Bethlehem stake. (A stake has many wards and branches in them. They typically include well over a thousand members). What was cool for me about all of this, was that I have served in all of these stakes. In fact, the Bishop in my first area is now the new Stake President of the Bethlehem Stake. I am glad to have played my very small role in helping this historical and monumental moment happen in this part of the world.
I love y'all! I hope each of you are doing well! Let me know how you are doing. I hope to see all of you in a month.
-Elder Garrison
