SUCCESS!!!

The Branch was created!!! Which means this upcoming Sunday will be the first ever Sacrament meeting to be held in Juapong!!
We are super happy over here in our little town. Challenges will surely come our way. When the Branch was created only 6 members from Juapong were actually at church and present for the organization of the newly formed Branch. We are really happy to moving forward. Right now we will be worshiping in a temporary building-while our official church building is going under renovations.
I am now entering 11 months since I came to this area and it has been the fastest moving 11 months I've experienced.
Well I'll keep my email short for today. I love you all and I wish the best for everyone

Good news!

Yesterday, I gave a talk in our District Conference where it was made known that we have approval for the Creation of the Juapong Branch! All we are waiting on is the renovations of a meeting house and our new Branch President has been called! SO within a few weeks we'll have our Branch opened up!
This past week has consisted of a lot of highs and lows. Solving family issues and comforting new members who had been offended by other members of the Church and all the stress involved in preparing for the Conference.

We are now entering the rainy Season and Elder Ojaide and I had planned that we would ride our bikes early Sunday morning to a village called Nnudu to pick up one of our Recent Converts to help come the District Conference in Kpong (about an hour and a half travel). Well the alarm sounded at 5 Sunday morning and 10 minutes later one of the most violent rain storms hit. within moments the roads were turned into rivers and were impassable because of the mud. What were we to do? She likely wouldn't come without us, but we had told her that we'd be there. So we prepared ourselves and set out on our bicycles in the rain. When we arrived soaking wet, we found her Uncle huddled around a small fire cooking some yam and looking rather destitute (he was really looking forward to the conference but didn't believe he could still attend because of the rain) and Abigail was in the house. When he saw us he broke out in a smile and began to laugh, knowing now that he could still attend the conference. We waited with them for a little over and hour while they prepared and we all traveled to the conference together. I am so glad that we still decided to travel through the pouring rain to visit them and help them to the conference.

Well everything here is going well. I feel super busy these days which is great. I love you all and hope you all have a great week.

Easter 2015

Hey everybody! How is everything? I hope you all had a Happy Easter.
Yesterday, we were able to have a wonderful baptismal service for two of our dear sisters. I was given the wonderful opportunity to perform the Baptism for them. This has been our second baptism in Juapong, and President Heid has told me that after our District Conference we'll probably create the new branch! I am really excited for it.
Everything here is going well. I hope I can stay in Juapong and watch this new branch grow, but, if the Lord wants me to go and serve in another area I am happy to do that as well.
I know that the Lord lives. As long as we are trying our best to become the masters of ourselves and to follow the Lords commandments He will bless us and will help us to overcome our challenges. He is ready to comfort us and guide us, if we are only willing to heed His call.
I love you all and wish a great week


Love,
