So this week has brought a lot of very interesting and surprising changes.
First of all Elder Sadare and i are getting transferred. Again! We were only together for 4 weeks.
The Branch in Juapong looks like it'll be starting maybe sometime early next year...still tentative as of when we'll be able to get it going. Hopefully we can open it very soon. The members and the people there need the Church dearly. I fear that the fire in some of their hearts is starting to wane. But! We will continue to work hard and try to keep everything going.
So Elder Sadare is getting transferred to Kpong, which is just the next city over from where we are, so we are still going to be close to each other and my new companion is an Elder Obiarinze, also from Nigeria. I'll be picking him up Tuesday.
So this Saturday we are building a house! One of the members in our Branch had 5 homes collapse due to severe rains and has since been sleeping outside with his family and 3 children. So with the combined efforts of the Kpong and Ho Districts we'll be able to help out these wonderful members.
I again apologize for no pictures this week (sorry Chloe)..network is too slow to send them.
I was able to have such a wonderful experience in Juapong on Saturday. We were visiting with one of the members there, Diana Affianu-she can't come to church because the travel fare is too high-and she wanted to sing a hymn. She ran inside, grabbed her hymn book, and we all sat around singing hymns together. We were there for maybe 45 minutes and the Spirit that was felt was so sweet and peaceful. We were all strengthened by that experience and I know that music has such a powerful effect on our minds and our spirit.
I love you all wish a Merry Christmas.
Elder Green
