MY PAST NKORANSA BRANCH MORMON SOLDIERS

In every branch, ward or stake of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, amazing missionaries come and go almost on every transfer week. Elder Jacob Rhys Reid remember him? That amazing witty, fun, good music lover, spiritual, goofy, know-all-about-the-Gospel young missionary, one of the missionaries who converted me. Elder Helgesen, smart, focused, adventurous, spiritual, even though he wasn't much of a talker you can still see through him, his kind and gentle nature. Elder Reid and Elder Helgesen was the first missionary to leave Nkoransa branch ever since I was converted. It was hard very hard to see these two amazing young men leave but I was also glad because they were continuing their mission to preach the Gospel and help people like the way they helped me. Elder Emmanuel Shadrack Batutsi even though he wasn't proselyting at my area we still got the chance to catch up. He's fun, smart I can say he's a nerd, his heart is full of love and appreciation, he knows every single sections in the Doctrine and Covenant, he's always smiling urgggh I miss him already. He was the third missionary to leave after Elder Reid and Elder Helgesen since I was converted. Now Elder Evan Hunter Merrill too is gone. He was Elder Reid's companion and he also baptised me. He gets burned in the sun almost everyday whiles proselyting, amazing young man, he's always ready to learn, his love for groundnut and light soup with fufu is a delight, always running his hand through his hair, his love for the Gospel and people is amazing. He is always ready to serve . I have much love for this amazing young missionary. Its sad to see him go but I'm also proud of him. The first time I met him he was just a month on mission now look how far he has come. I still miss them everyday even though I don't see or hear from them. They will always have a place in my heart and my prayer is our Heavenly father should give them the strength to go forth and spread the Gospel and also make their mission in Ghana a very successful one. I love you all

TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty Is the face in the mirror looking back at you You walk around here thinking you're not pretty But that's not true, cause I know you..Hold on, baby, you're losing it The water's high, you're jumping into it And letting go... and no one knows That you cry, but you don't tell anyone That you might not be the golden one And you're tied together with a smile But you're coming undone I guess it's true that love was all you wanted Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change Hoping it will end up in his pocket But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain Oh, cause it's not his price to pay Not his price to pay...

LEARNING

IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN FED LOVE WITH A SPOON, YOU WILL LICK IT OFF A KNIFE AND YOU WILL BLEED. This is one of the favourite quote of my friend Sam. To able to understand this quote, I personally feel that you must go through unrequited love and any form of abusive relationship. t he beginning is this magical, amazing time. But the beginning is not built to last. After the beginning comes the real relationship and if it’s not a match, then things will devolve quickly. What are you really invested in here? A lot of the times we’re in love with the potential of what could have been, not the actual person.  It’s so easy to project our wants and fantasies onto someone, especially someone you hardly know. this devastation we experienced is because of what the other person represented to you. what you’re lusting for isn’t the person, it’s how it used to be. You miss the beginning of the relationship, and you hold onto it as proof that you guys were in love once upon a time. Everyth...

THE GRACE OF GOD

A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. I never wanted to get my picture taken because I knew I had packed on some weight. There came in the comments from my course mates telling me how fat I’ve gotten and so on. Some even went to the extent of saying I’m not coming to class because I said I’ve gained weight; that was sad.  The comments they passed did hurt but it didn’t motivate me to change my lifestyle. As time went by, I got so used to their fat body shaming and comments. But what they didn’t know was the fact that I had already given up on myself: so nothing they said was actually going to push me to change. Even with that I’ll start eating healthy for a minute, hit the gym and give up on that same week. Until my course mate took a picture of me when I wasn’t looking after I had instructed him not to take any picture of me.  A single picture became my motivation to the beginning of this journey. My first look at the pictur...
