Landon's Accra Ghana Mission

 We had to go to Accra to meet with President so we took some much needed pictures  at the temple. :) SO this time my companion was very sick for the past week. It made it very difficult to get out yet again, but we were able to make it work! I want to first tell you all about Anna. On Sunday, we confirmed her and she was so happy. After church, we went to visit her and she said she felt this overwhelming spirit fill her whole body. She said she felt like her spirit was elevated and that she felt much closer to the Savior. Then she said that when she went to Relief Society that she was answering questions and she was able to give a lot more contributions than she usually would be able to. She said that something inside of her felt more confident. I can't remember if I wrote about this or not but the girl that Anna lived with was totally against the church and she didn't want anything to do with it.

Anna's Baptism Well not much happened this past week, since I sat in my bed for half of it staring at the ceiling and inside the toilet, ha ha.

We were sitting around after church and this little girl was playing with us and she asked if she could take pictures with my camera, ha ha.

The last thing I talked to her about was the sacrifice Joseph Smith went through in order to bring us this church. She was really touched by it and told us so a couple of times. Wh...

Our "Kindness is..." board. This past week was very busy, ha ha. Tuesday was zone conference, Wednesday was interviews with the mission president and then we had a "Light the World" activity at the Achimota mall on Saturday!  When it came to teaching this week, we weren't very successful, but I want to tell you guys three amazing things that happened! For the "Light the World" activity on Saturday, we set up a table with a TV that was playing the "Light the World" video and then we had people playing the guitar, the piano and we sang carols. We were trying to get people that walked by to be curious about what "Light the World" promotion is.  My job was different though. We set up a whiteboard that said "Kindness is...." What we had people do was to take a picture of themselves in front of the board and their answer that they had written on the board. Then we asked them to post in on social media. ...
