We were able to video chat with Elder Willden twice today. He didn't have much time to email today, but I will post what he sent following this entry.  He had to do a doctor appointment today to get another covid booster and blood drawn because he is leaving MTC next week for Kumasi.  He cannot upload pictures yet, so hopefully pictures can be posted soon. 


 don't have much time so this is going to be brief. 


First off I am known as "Elder Gum" because I have so much gum haha. In all seriousness though I love my companion, my district, and my zone. A lot are native and they are good people. I really am enjoying my time with them. It's hard sitting in a class room all day but that's okay. I refer to this place as the spirit prison now because the schedule is so strict.

I got sick the first Sunday and Monday here but I am better now. Just want you all to know I am enjoying the start of my mission, but I cannot wait to leave for Kumasi Tuesday. 

Love and miss you all.

-Elder Willden

(I cannot upload pictures to these computers at the MTC so those will have to wait.)

December 26, 2022 When The Imposter is SUS Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a good Christmas like I did. There was an imposter among us this week and it was a member. She wanted to give out some Book of Mormons for Christmas and it was a good idea, until she decided to slap a fake sister name tag on, and then put money in the front pages while handing them out. That was mad sus. This week was mad busy... had an exchange on Wednesday, zone conference Thursday, and then Christmas eve and Christmas. Me and my companion are feeling super tired today haha.  On our exchange this week we decided that we would try and find as many new people to teach as possible. I was with Elder Sandukira, who is from Malawi. It was a fun day if contacting, and teaching with him. We met lots of new people.  Our zone conference was super long, but really good. We learned a lot about faith. We also learned we will all be getting phones this next year, so we don't have to share anymore whic...

 September 12, 2022  Kaafra for not emailing last week. We had a busy pday. Last Monday was my birthday so we stayed the night with the Mpreaso elders and went to rock city the next day to grab some pizza. It wasn't the same as any pizza at home but it was way good. In Ghana they soak you I water on your birthday too, and that night Elder Gilbert, and the two other elders in our apartment got me good haha. Anyways Elder Gilbert actually got sent to transfers on Wednesday and I got assigned to a new trainer. Elder Gilbert got sent to Tamale. I will definitely miss him. My new companions name is Elder Bai and he is from Liberia. He is a great man and loves the work. Both of his parents have died while he has been on mission and he didn't go home. He is also a convert to the church as well. He was baptized 4 years ago, and what's crazy is that he used to be a Muslim. I've already learned a lot from him and I still have more to learn.  I've been showing Elder Bai the ar...

 September 19, 2022  What up everyone I hope you all are doing fine. This week we had zone conference but we had Elder Klebingat there, from the quorum of the 70. He gave an awesome instruction and I learned a lot from him. He also cracked down on all the disobedience in the mission. He is over the Africa West area, and a lot of the missions here have problems with obedience, and He is using our mission to try and figure out the problem. It was interesting being a fresh missionary here and hearing about some of the whack stuff that other missionaries will do. Anyways his instruction was awesome and I learned a lot. I saved a lot of scriptures from the instruction that I will definitely review. This week had its ups and downs, but mostly ups! Me and my new companion Elder Bai are terrible at taking pictures so my fault, I'll do better hahah. We taught some powerful lessons this week and are starting to find out how we can best teach together. We are starting to get to know each...
