WEEK 32: Best Christmas Ever!

Hello friends!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. I know I did!  Seriously, I think this could have been my favorite Christmas so far! It was a little stressful (mom note:  due to a misunderstanding it was announced he was making dinner for the whole ward which he hadn't planned on) but at the end of the day when I went down for bed all I could do was smile. Sooo it was awesome to put it in short.

This past week my area was blessed with three baptisms and in the district we had 5! Our district has been dry on baptisms for a while so we are so grateful to finally bring some souls unto Christ. My companion and I are expecting to baptize at least one more this week. What's even better is she is a contact, and usually they are the most stubborn. But this person is seriously powerful.

One of our baptisms this past week was Brother Issac. He is a police officer. His wife is a strong member and has been waiting for him to baptize for sooo long! I think in the past he has been too stubborn but finally his heart has been softened and now he seems so happy! He and his wife are going to start working toward getting sealed in the temple and receive all the blessings that includes. He has one son who is 13 I think and he is coming back from school soon so once he gets back we will work on teaching and baptizing him. It is just so wonderful to see families come together and embrace the gospel and become an eternal family! I'm sooo happy!

But yeah this is basically all for me, I'm loving Ghana.  Seriously the people are so great and soo funny. I'm always laughing hahaha. Okay i better sign off now

Love you all
Elder Pace

Tanner's Farewell

Image
Tanners farewell was lovely.  He really did do a nice job on his talk.  It was fun to catch a glimpse of his personality sprinkled throughout yet he was respectful as well.  He has truly grown so much this past year and I'm sure he will grow even more these next two.   I'm very grateful my family were able to come.  I think he would have felt bad if nobody was able to be here.  We stay for all three meetings so we really didn't have much of a celebration after....just the family had lunch together and then we said good-bye.  I still tried to decorate a bit so he would feel special. Here is a copy of his talk.  I don't remember hearing the poem before but I really liked it. Good morning brothers and sisters. And thank you so much for all of you who showed up to support me. When I was a young boy my mom and I were in a bank. When we were sitting down with one of the workers at the bank they asked...

WEEK 7/104: Faith

Image
(I told Tanner from his pictures it looks like he was sent to a country inhabited solely by children!) Hey everyone!! So this week was very successful, well until the end but hey I will take it. We found 4 new investigators and received 1 referral. Three of the 4 investigators we found all in one place together and we have taught them twice throughout the week. And wow, they are powerful... they have really been prepared to learn about and receive the gospel.They ask so many questions and are just so ready to learn the truth. They go to a church but realize the things going on in that church are not right, so when we extended the invitation to come to our church they were not ready. They told us they have already made a poor choice once so they want to be sure before they decided again. The next time we meet Elder Johnson and I will share some scriptures with them that I came across during personal studies. It is found in Alma 32:21-33, 33:23. These s...

MERRY CHRISTMAS (12-23-19)

Hello Friends,  Afishapa!! That translates into Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have been listening to Christmas music a lot and I especially love the song that reads, "its the most wonderful time, of the year."... This is definitely a true and accurate statement, and as I reflected on why this is my thought lead me back to my Savior.  Christmas is about Christ, and it pains me when I see His name replaced with an X. If you have fallen given into this disrespectful temptation by placing this on social media posts, or text messages, or even posters, then I would invite you to quickly repent and put Christ back into your Christmas and lives.  That is not the only way we take Christ out of Christmas however. It is so easy to get caught into the worldly aspects such as presents, decorations or even delicious food, that we might even forget the origin of this joy.  Even I almost got caught up on this recently as I was planning an activity for s...
