NO LETTER AGAIN! 

Elder Paulson has been unable to connect with the internet in his African bush village. While he loves it there, it has been a little hard to not get to hear from him. Luckily the young man, Promise Dumevi, who is the ward mission leader in his last area stays in touch with him and so I am able to find out how he is through him.

Elder Paulson traveled to Accra on Tuesday with his companion Elder Antwi where they both received new missionaries to train. They will be staying in the same place they have been living but training 2 new missionaries. Elder Paulson's new comp is from Tonga but that is all I know for now. When he first arrived in Accra I was able to communicate with him for a couple of minutes . His friend sent me these pictures that he had taken of them together. Also, his eye is getting better, and not in the time frame that the doctor indicated, so I am grateful for that. Thank you for your prayers on his behalf!

I have gotten spoiled over the last 15 months because I had not had one week where I was not able to touch base with Elder Paulson, however, his happiness level is great and his missionary work is going very very well and he is happy so I am happy too!

We reached the 1 digit number of months left. He has 9 months left, well really he has 8 months and 25 days! I can start counting days now that we are in the single digits. Haha!

That is all I have to report for this week, hopefully Elder Paulson will be back next week and be able to tell us many great things!

Love you all, Momma Paulson

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!


So today I really have short time because right now I'm in Accra and have about a 4-5 hour ride back out to the bush.

SO some small highlights is that we had 4 baptisms this past Saturday and I was able to be the baptist for them. WE have been doing awesome!  I love all you people. Be safe and make good choices. LOOVVEE YOU!

Gye Nyame

Good Afternoon everyone from Ghana Asunafo. I hope you are all doing well and being safe!

First I want to just say that prayers go out to Coach Dave Peck and his family, I am so sorry for their loss. One great football coach and even a greater man.

Some highlights from the week, we had a really good week of finding and were able to find 6 more investigators. We found this family that has the potential to be awesome, the father is a less-active member but his kids and wife were going to another church, so this last week the kids came to church but him and the wife did not.their picture is below. They are a great family!

This week I have tried to look at people how Christ would, look at them, not what they are now but what they can be. I thought how blessed this man and his family could be with the restored gospel in their lives and home. It has made me have a totally new perspective on things and a more positive way of thinking. I think it can work in all things, if we try to look at how good things can be if we just put our faith in Christ and put work into it, how much better things can become.

We have also been working with a 17 year old guy named Seth who is the brother of one of our recent converts. He came to church on Sunday and we hope on the 19th we can get him baptized.

The lord is truly blessing the work here. I know I say that every week but I can see it every day as we go out to teach and help other people to come unto Christ.

This week was also transfer news but I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying here with Elder Antwi!

Well people I love you all, I hope you stay safe and God bless.
