Missionary work is fun!



Alright friends and family I am at the close of one week, but where one door closes another opens!
Elder Bautner and I have been having huge amounts of success! It honestly has been unreal. Also, every day we find out more and more things that we have in common--the other elders in our apartment now refer to us as twins since we don everything the same.
Something that we have been doing that has really changed our lessons together and has been very beneficial in helping to invite the Spirit into our lessons is singing a closing hymn. It was Elder Bautner's idea to start doing it and I have noticed a huge difference in the behavior of our investigators after we sing a nice, soft, reverent hymn.
We are looking forward to our proselyting efforts in Juapong, we've been able to contact a few of our less active members who live there and after meeting with them they've been very excited about missionary work. One man, named Richard Awonu, told us that he felt like he has been sleeping and he, now, had been woken up. We are very excited for him and pray that he will be able to sacrifice the now tripled cost of fare from his home to the Church on Sundays (it takes about 45 minutes travel time, since the Atimpoku bridge closed down a few months ago and the only mode of travel across the Volta River is to take the overpriced and over crowded ferry).
I love you all and hope that you have a great week!
Elder Green
