Eyyooo y'all!

How have y'all been?? So a phone conversation my zone leader and I had on Thursday evening really sums up how my week went...

Me: Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color? (It's how I always answer, the Africans love it)

Elder Lawson (FROM PHILLY!!): Green! good evening!

Me: Good Evening Elder Lawson! To what do I owe the honor?

Elder Lawson: Senda (the other ZL) and I are just calling to see how you and Elder Noble are doing. How are you two holding up?

Me: We are great!... Except we have no food. And no water. And no money. Most of our investigators have cancelled their appointments.... And the power just went out... And we can't pay our power bill until Monday....

Yeah... Quite the week.... But it was still great! We had many very cool experiences! Besides the minor personal issues... haha. And the week ended on a very good note! We had two baptisms on Sunday! Ferdinand and Yaovi were baptized! AND I BAPTIZED THEM!!! The experience was awesome. This church is just so stinkin true. Ya know, things aren't always easy. We have very many rough times. But honestly, we didn't starve. People looked out for us. They fed us meals. The bishop even invited us over for fufu! That is hands down the best food in Ghana. Even better than pizza! But anyway, I just realized I've been neglecting something. I never share any spiritual insight! So from now on, I would love to shar3e some thoughts on some scriptures I have read during the week at least twice a month.

So this week, I was reading in the Book of Mormon in Alma and I came across the scripture(s) Alma 32:28-30. These verses are amazing! It tells the importance of scripture study. It enlightens our minds, helps us through daily challenges, builds us as a person, and increase our faith. On top of all that, the more we read scriptures, the more desire we will have to read them. It's so cool! why should we read scripture? As we read scripture, we gain wholesome knowledge that helps to bring us closer to God, Jesus Christ, and our friends in families. In them we can find answers to things that will help us show more love and care. Tuime's up! I love you all.

Love,

Elder Robinson
