9 months and Healthy...

Hello To All! :)

We had yet another successful, sunny, and miraculous week here in the Ghana Kumasi Mission! I would just like to give all of you the 9 month health report! I am happy and healthy! A few sicknesses have come and past, but as for now, my sky is clear!

This last Wednesday we had our Zone Conference!  The instruction was based on two General Conference talks.  The first one was "Clean Hands and a Pure Heart" by Elder David A. Bednar in Oct. 2007. The second one, and my personal favorite, was "Beware of Pride" by President Ezra Taft Benson in April 1989.  The reason I love the talk by President Benson is because it goes into soooo much detail about pride and what are some of the different symptoms/ faces of pride. He also talks about the antidote for pride, humility, and how are some ways we can use our agency to apply it in our life! I strongly encourage ALL of you to read it!

In our apartment we have 4 missionaries/ 2 companionships. One of the missionaries, Elder Ojok, has completed his 2 years and just left this morning to back home to Uganda. So on Saturday, Elder Sutherin and I planned a surprise party for him. We first invited the rest of the district to come. We planned for a member of Ejisu branch to prepare fried rice for everyone. We all met at the Kwamo chapel (his area) and set everything up, then we had the bishop call them and tell them to come. When they came, we surprised him and everything went well! We all enjoyed, had fun, talked, and made him feel happy and missed.

This last Sunday, in Ejisu, we finally received copies of General Conference! Unfortunately, they watched it in Twi so I didn't understand anything being said. :(

So ladies and gentlemen.... That was my week in a nutshell! I love you all! Have a good week!

Odo,

Elder Brandt

I had my scriptures wrapped in Kente Fabric!
