Hey everyone!!!
So as for this week. On Tuesday it was interesting because when we got all ready in the morning, Nnachi and Ememem went to buy stuff at the market. They were gone for like 2 hours, chai it just seemed a little fake to me. So we went out to Ablekuma. We met Gift and she is so cool, but her kids are just annoying as heck!!!!! Like we're trying to keep these little guys under control while trying to teach her, it worked out though. We then went to see Rhoda. . .bad idea haha!!!! When we got there we just bounced from topic to topic to topic. . .it was nuts!!! We talked about so many things and it was just crazy!!!! We came back late and yeah, it was really crazy haha!!!!
Wednesday was AMAZING!!!!! Chai so many of my missionary buddies are going home and it makes me so bummed!!! Burt in Budumburam, Ben in Chantan, Dall in Anyaa, chai so many of them are heading home and it makes me sad. So anyway, from that we had a multi-zone conference so I saw Randall, Wilson and McFarland. . .chai it was sweet!!!!! So we went and had a lot of fun with that one haha!!! We learned a lot of cool things that day from President Simpson and it was just a great experience. We came back and then went out to see Isaac and Maxwell. They are sweet and we talked about temples and what we do in them. We came back and it was nice.
So Thursday was somehow. We went and taught Prince, and by that we just power taught Chastity. Tithing, and Word of Wisdom, chai that always sucks!!! So we left and went to Ablekuma and taught Grace. She is a woman that Ememem and Nnachi contacted a few weeks ago. We taught her and left. We taught Sharlot and that was a pretty good lesson. She's understanding more and more and kind of what we do as missionaries. We left and went to go teach James. . .and his 6 sons and friends!!!!! Like, I kid you not, I felt like Alma teaching all them at the same time. We taught so much of false doctrines in the world and things like that, it was crazy!!! We left and came home a little later than we wanted to haha!!!!!
Friday was basically difficult. We went straight to teaching Prince about the other things we would need him to know for his baptism. We went to Pentacost Junction and we had a lot of success there. We tried to teach Agata, but that didn't work so we went to other people. We taught a man named Alex and his wife. So as for that, we had a good time jumping around to different topics and stuff like that. We then went and taught a girl named Ingle. We contacted her whole compound and we taught her. She's pretty cool and understands more of the importance of true prophets. We left and came back to see Livingston. So we continued in the pamphlet of the testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith and he is learning so much more about him. We came back and that wrapped up that day.
So Saturday, this is where things got interesting. So we planned to see a few people and come back early to get everything ready for a baptism on Sunday, but that didn't work haha!!!! We had Elder Hall and Nnachi come and do the baptismal interview with brother Prince and he passed!!!! We then left and went to Abasi in Ablekuma. We taught these guys at a barber shop. Miracle, Michael and Abraham, all pretty cool. We talked about the Plan of Salvation. It was pretty good. We left and taught Morda. So we hoped that it would be small, but it turned into a huge long discussion of false churches and how her church is false!!! So we left way later and came back and cleaned the baptismal font. We came home and cleaned the baptismal clothes and yeah.
Sunday. . .chai that was too rough. So we got up and went to church and I was running around trying to get everything ready for the baptismal service after church. So we did that and it was ok. So it came to the baptism. We wanted brother Isaac to do the baptism for brother Prince, but we encountered the problem of the priesthood. So we were unclear of whether or not he received it so we just had a member do it for us. We had a little argument and it resulted in bad ending. We had the baptism and it was nice. We left and came home, turns out that Isaac is really bummed so we're going to see him on Tuesday for sure. We realized that our neighbors were having a one year celebration for the death of a woman's husband. We went over after things cooled down and it was nice. We saw a lot of people there and I gotta say that it was funny. We left and came back and we got everything set for the night. We played Uno and that was super fun haha!!!!
Hope you all are doing amazing and I can't tell you how amazing it is to see the time fly by!!!!! I love you all and remember to stay AMAZING!!!!
From,
Elder Stockton Smith
