3 Dunked!

Dear friends and family,

I hope this letter finds you all safe and well.

This week has been awesome and we have seen the hand of the Lord in our work and in our daily lives.

So on Thursday we had Multi zone conference and it was a great time to hear from our leaders and from President Simpson, we talked about how we can become a better mission and achieve more if we focus on loving each other more and that as we do we can strengthen the mission and the Lord will bless us. We talked about how we need to focus on the plan of salvation and what the Lord has in store for all of us.

So on Friday we had a dinner at the Daltons and they fed us hamburgers which was awesome. After though we were searching for motos to take us back to our area and it was somehow late and none of the moto guys we called were picking up, so we decided to walk and on the way a guy in a truck asked us if we needed a ride and we said yes.  So we hopped in the back and he took us home and he told us he is a member in Akrofufu and has had 7 sons go on mission and it was just a great experience and helps us know that God truly watches over us.

Saturday we had our 3 baptisms that I am very grateful for and it is such a humbling experience to see these people enter the waters of baptism, these people I have grown to love.

Shout out to my sister Amelia, Happy Birthday on Wednesday!  I love you!  

So that was about our week. I love you people and hope you all stay safe throughout the week. #6months

May God bless.

HI friends & family,

Well last week was kind of a short letter so I will try and make this one more interesting!

First off Elder Tupou and I have been preparing three people for baptism this past week and this Saturday will be their baptisms,  which I am super excited for!

We went out to prosylite in a small village in Awosiwasi, it is like 1 hour and 30 minutes from Asunafo, we have a awesome investigator named Alexander out there and he has a real desire to hear the gospel. 

This week we have been working with our ward missionaries that are preparing to go on mission here pretty soon and that has been a ton of fun doing that!

I'm excited for the things that are going to be happening here in Asunafo the next couple of months. This next transfer will be a 9 week transfer and that will put me coming home on the 7th of August which is super exciting. Like I said last week though, I'm going to miss this place more then I thought I was going to when I first came here.

On Thursday we will be traveling to Accra to multi Zone conference.  It is always great to see all the missionaries together and hear from our President, which is very good.  Besides we get to eat fast food.  Haha!  

This week I have continued to read in the Book of Mormon and found amazing things that always help me and the way I'm thinking. This week I read from Alma and Alma 5 really stood out to me. It became the "am I?" ready chapter for me. It talks a lot about the things we need to do while we are here to see our Heavenly Father again.

Well everybody. I love you all. I know this Gospel is true. Be safe.

So sad no pics today!!!

Dear friends and family,

This week has been some how long. Life is good here in our little village. This week we don't really have a lot to report on.

I'm enjoying training again. My companion Elder Tupou and I are doing hard work out here in Asunafo. Enjoying our time together.

This week we went to Accra and had my eye looked at again. She said it is getting better and soon it will be gone. We had a fun time there.

We have a awesome investigator named Sister Evelyn. She is progressing really well and doing awesome. We are planning on baptizing her on the 28th of this month.

I'm sorry this letter is going to be small because honestly a lot did not happen this week. I will most likely be in this area until the 3rd of April. So when Ileave this place I will only have 4 months left.

Well this week I have been some how thinking about how much I have grown to love this country and people. I will truly miss this place when I go.

Love you all. May god bless you.


Elder Paulson

He did not put any explanations of the pics but I would say that these missionary shoes have seen a LOT of miles!  

I love these kids faces!  I love the missionary in the middle too! 

Hello Family and Friends,

I hope and pray that you are all doing well and are safe.

This week has been a good week and I will just hit on some of the highlights that we have had this week.

Well the first thing is that we had 2 baptisms this week, it was some how a weird situation. Our bishop came to us this week and said that the first counselor in our ward wants his children to be baptized, the only problem is that they will be leaving to Accra on Monday to boarding school so we had to quickly teach them and get them interviews but it worked so it was awesome!

We also had interviews with President Simpson this past week and it is always good to have a little one on one with president and to be able to chat and connect with him. I really appreciate all that he has done and for his great example to me.

Another thing this week is that we have been working with our ward missionaries on finding and helping us to teach because we don't speak Twi so we need a translator to come and to teach with us. We were able to find 7 new investigators this week! So life is good.

I'm sorry this is somehow short. I will write more next week.

In my personal studies this week I have been reading from the Book of Mormon and trying to continue focusing on the small things. As I read the spirit tells me these things are true. I have grown closer to my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ on my mission. 

Special shout out to Elder Double E and Scotter Happy Birthday homies!   Love ya.

<Love you guys,

Elder Paulson
