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.
