The Climax of the Transfer of Strife and Opposition



The Agona District

Hello all!!

Don't let the title scare you! Things are still going super well here in Kwamo and I love the work but things haven't necessarily flowed this last transfer and this last week was the pit of it all. Of course there is opposition in all things. We have been having some serious success this transfer in Kwamo and it was just a matter of time until we ran into some tough times. As you read in some of my last emails, a lot of crazy things have happened to us this past transfer like my companion losing his glasses, losing our phone at the baptism and some other things. This week adds to that list of things. The saying Elder Smith and I have come up with this week is "When you hit rock bottom you can still dig deeper".

Going into this last week we had a lot of great goals and plans set out for us to achieve. But, as the week went on a lot of lessons fell through and we basically weren't even able to meet with any of our progressing investigators because they were busy or travelled. That was seriously disappointing but we moved on and contacting a lot of people this week in anticipation for the open house this last weekend. But, the open house was also like a bust. The whole point of the activity was for the members to invite their friends to learn more about the church. But, hardly any members showed up and we were planning to start at 4 pm but couldn't start until like 5:30 pm because we were waiting for people to show up. Overall, though we were able to find like 5 new people and found out which of our current investigators were serious and which ones weren't. And on top of everything else we managed to hand out a whole box of Books of Mormon. So, that was great.

We can't dwell on the past we just have to keep moving forward and relying on the Lord. I have learned the most through these rough times and know that this next week will be full of joy and success! The success will always come as we rely on the Lord and do our very best to bring souls unto Christ. Hope all of you have a great week and talk to ya next week!

Love,
Elder Ordyna
