I guess it is true......time flies when you are having fun!
The last three weeks have flown by! It is always sad to say good-bye, as we have
shared many experiences together.
We wanted to talk about something that is so important for not only the missionaries, but for everyone.
Our theme for the devotional was
"It is Nice to Be Important, But It is More Important to Be Nice."
A wonderful quality the Savior had is that he was always lifting, encouraging, he used words of encouragement. Never in the scriptures do we find a time
when the Savior is finding fault, using unkind language, or making someone feel
that they cannot succeed.
Matthew 7:9-11
"Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask him?
We worship a bread not stone God. He only gives bread not stones. He doesn’t give serpents he only gives fish. He doesn’t give scorpions he only gives eggs. Sometimes it is hard to recognize that. And if we are not careful, we may turn the bread into stones, if he doesn’t happen to be the kind of bread we want. A stone is useless, and he doesn’t give us useless things. Serpents and scorpions hurt us, and he doesn’t give us harmful things.
Sister Akpan and Sister Adjakpasu have a righteous desire to apply what they are learning.
Ephesians 2:19
Now,therefor ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the
household of God.
We love each other, and put aside differences.
Remember......LOVE IS THE KEY.
We will miss the beautiful music.
We feel confident that they are prepared to......
Go forward in faith and SERVE!
The Smiles melt your heart!
We will miss Elder Kincaid. He has been with us for 6 weeks. He will now go to
Benin and share the Gospel in French!
Thank you for your kind and faithful service. Our son loved the opportunity to be with you over these past 3 weeks and was grateful for your kindness and Christ-like love and concern for each of these good missionaries. The opportunity to attend the Temple and to interact and get to know so many missionaries that will be serving through Africa was an experience he will always remember. May the Lord bless you with His Tender Mercy and all those that participate in the MTC experience in Ghana.
