A Branch Split

Elder Beckstrand is probably more enthusiastic than this photo would indicate.

 Hello my family and friends. This week has been such an amazing one already! After transfers and everything else, we have finally settled again back into the work.

So this week was so amazing. On Tuesday I went to Accra to pick up my new companion. His name is Elder Liongitau from Tonga! This guy is so amazing and we are just having so much fun in the area. He is an amazing missionary. I'm excited to learn a lot from him!

After that, we headed back up to prepare for a new week. We finally taught Abigail and she was baptized on Saturday, and confirmed on Sunday!:) We are so excited for her. The Gospel has truly blessed her life in so many ways. We were so thankful to God that the baptism was a success.

He's in there somewhere.

 This week was just basically showing my new companion the area. Not much occurred but the baptism. We are just getting really excited to improve the area.

Next week our branch will be split into 2. We are nervous for the split, but we are hoping it will help Koforidua become a stake a lot faster.

This week has taught me so much about Christlike love. We should love everyone no matter what they have done or no matter who they are. They are all children of God. He loves ALL of us equally! What an amazing thing.

Anyways that was my week! I hope you guys had a wonderful one as well. My prayers go out to you all daily. Thanks for all your love and support.

Thanks. Next week!

Love Tyler.
