Tanner's Mission Experiences

Hello Friends! Okay lets see. Well for almost the entire week I was not with my companion haha. He and Elder Viatu'ulala got permission to travel to one of their previous areas to see their people. Soooo for me I stayed behind in my area with Elder Olsen.  This week was pretty fun though. We were able to see a lot of members and one of them wants us to come every Wednesday to help her make a new treat every week. So this last Wednesday we made no bake cookies. Ghanaians don't really like sugar though so I don't think it was her favorite, but her kids loved it! This week she requested for us to teach her how to make meat pie, soo thats what I think I, will do.  Other than that this week we also had three baptisms. Two of them are the kids of an older lady we baptized about 3 weeks ago, and one is a part member and the mother wanted us to baptize him. I'm not sure why she waited so long (HE'S 10), but we were happy to do it. Immediately after the baptism we...

Tanner is currently serving as a Zone Leader so is in charge of planning zone activities.  For this one he organized a bunch of minute to win it style games and had a bracket to record their scores etc. 

Hello Friends,   This week was a busy one. We had meetings, service projects and exchanges! On top of all that we had to finish preparing our candidates for baptism. The good news is it all worked out and they were baptized!  The one is named Sister Esther. She is so awesome and has been so ready and excited to be baptized! Soon we will baptize her son and his cousin. The little boy is in a part member family, so they asked us to prepare him for the same day...   Haha actually the funny part of that day is I wasn't even wearing the right name tag! Earlier that week I went to pick up a name tag for an Elder Morisho in my same zone and then when I got back to the apartment, I just put that tag on my desk. Well when that Saturday came along I was in a hurry and  gI justrabbed the name tag I saw on my desk not even realizing it wasn't mine! Finally when I arrived at the church someone looked at me with a confused face and said, "Elder Morisho?...

Hello Everyone!  Sorry I have been slacking on the emails. I'm not going to lie, emailing isn't my favorite thing.  Sooo lets see, this week was actually a really good one! I was hardly in my area though because it seemed like everyday I had to go and travel for something. 1 day it was interviews with mission president, another was zone conference, We had to travel forever to go interview some candidates for baptism sooo yeah. But the good news was we still were able to see most of our progressing people.  Saturday we did a service project for a few hours and then a BAPTISM! WOOT WOOT. My first for this area. She was so ready to, and it was a joy to see her take that step forward. Her name is Grace and honestly she probably should have been baptized long ago but I guess past missionaries just never followed up with her or something. But that was just so fun.  Sunday we had many people come to church and we were so happy to see them all. After church we t...
