So Tuesday, as for this day it was pretty decent. So we started off by leaving earlier and we went to go see Evelyn and we ended up teaching her and her best friend named Adjua or something like that. We had a good lesson until they started having people come to get their hair done. We then left and tried to see Emama, but that failed. We then went to go see Frank and we just read from the Book of Mormon and that was pretty good. We left and just tried our best to find people to teach, but it didn't work out too well. We then left and met up with an old friend of Memmott's and got some food. We then left from that and we went to see Jerry. That was pretty good and he's liking the church more and more. We then left and came home because we weren't able to see anyone else.

Wednesday is always the day of stress when it comes to seeing people and having meetings. So we went out to our DCM meeting. We had a good time learning more about how we can follow the example of Christ and achieve his attributes. We then left and went to go teach Mercy. We had a good lesson with her and it was a great time to see how the gospel works in other persons lives. We then left and contacted a guy named Prince. We taught him a little and then left to teach Frank. We then had the chance to head back to have our coordination meeting. So no offense to anyone, but I'm glad that we have our coordination meetings rather than going into PEC. So yeah that was that day.
Now Thursday was wicked. We went out and tried to teach Emama, but she was busy so we went and contacted these guys near her place. We then went and taught her and that was nice. We left and met up with Frank. So we wanted to bring him a talk from General Conference, but we forgot. We ended up reading more of the Book of Mormon. We then left and tried to see Mercy, but that failed. We came back and taught Jerry and his friend Sisino. We went and tried to find people to teach and that was somehow. We left and met up with Skovic and we found his house cuz he led us there. We then left and taught Christianna and that was aight. We came back and just chilled.
Friday was pretty intense as well. We got up and did a weekly planning session and then went out to see a few people. We were on our way to an appointment and we ran into Momma Lee and her daughter Adelade. We always went by their shop, but never taught them. We went and taught tem and it was pretty nice. We left and went and taught Alice. She's near another investigator's shop and she was free for us to teach her. She loves hearing the word of God and sees the many false churches and that they aren't serious. We left and taught Mercy and she just gave us the best answer in the world, she knows the Church is true and she accepted a date for November 5th to be baptized. She was very enthusiastic to hear about the Book of Mormon. We just introduced the Book of Mormon that day. We then left and met up with Frank. We taught him from the General Conference edition of the Liahona. The talk was titled "To the Friends and Investigators of the Church".** We had a good talk with him and we hope that that will increase his faith to come into the church. WE then left and met with Thelma. She is a lady that the others contacted while we were on exchange with each other. We finally taught her, but she doesn't understand a lot of English which is difficult. We then went and taught a few members of the Osai family and that was very nice. We taught them the last part of the Plan of Salvation and that was very interesting for them to learn about. We then left and saw Christianna and Samuel. We just read from the Book of Mormon and that was nice. We came back and yeah.

Now Saturday was just a pain in the butt for us. We went out early because we had a Priesthood session for our Stake Conference and that was ok. We went out and saw the Yeboahs and as always it wasn't the best, but we still taught them. We then left and met up with Mercy. We taught her a little bit and then we went to the Priesthood session in Ofankor. That was super nice because President Simpson totally chastised the people on the fact that we need to fulfill our responsibility in bringing people into the waters of baptism. So I will say nothing more on the roasting, but it was music to my ears haha!!!! We had a good time there and then we left and came back. We saw the Haircutters. So we tried to teach them all, but we only taught a few of them. We are seeing that Emmanuel, Eric and Bismark are showing the most progress in the group because they actually pay attention and show interest. We also met Eric, one friend of theirs. We then left and met with Christianna's group and that was very nice. We are starting to reteach the lessons so that Sisco will be able to catch up and learn more. So we taught them and that was very nice. We traveled back and that was good.
And Sunday, so it is always a pain when we have to get up and go pick someone, but it's for their eternal salvation so it's good. We went and picked up Jerry and that was it, his brothers were going to another church and said they would come next week. We then left for Ofankor for our Stake Conference. So here is the thing, more people show up for Stake Conference than General Conference, and they are so disrespectful and it's just too annoying. So we brought Jerry and then we saw a few of the Yeboahs there. We heard a lot of cool stuff and President Simpson was also there and it was super nice to hear form him and his wife. So we also saw Elder and Sister Munro for the last time, which was a major bummer!!!! We left and went to see people. We ended up going and meeting with Felicia, she told us that she wants to postpone her baptism until February when her husband returns. That made us super bummed, but we pressed forward. We met up with a few guys we contacted a few days ago, Obed and Dennis. So we had a good lesson with them, but we can only meet with them on Sundays so that will be good. We then left and ran around to see different people, but that failed as well. We ended up seeing Christianna and then the Yeboahs. We then left and came home. That was the week.
So as for today, we ran this morning to Kaneshi and I got some sick angelina shirts for the fam so that's super cool. We also had the chance to see a lot of people that I know in the market so that was nice. We then left and came back and well, here is the letter for all of you. It was known that Elder Memmott and Elder Smith were AMAZING champions and workers of the Lord, so yeah haha!!!!
Hope you all had an amazing week and are keeping safe!!!!!
From,
Elder Stockton Smith
