The other day in Twi class, we accumulated gospel vocabulary words, and then put together our testimonies in Twi. It is comforting realizing that we will be attending church in Asamang. I guess for my own selfish reasons, I am just excited that among the culture shock and misunderstandings will be an aspect I can relate to. Not saying that LDS culture is anywhere near the same in Ghana as it is in America; however, foundational elements are the same, such as our belief in a Savior who atoned for mankind and a boy who restored the gospel. There was just something cool about hearing the Savior's titles in Twi, and realizing that church members there have some of the same deep running veins of belief as I do. I cannot wait to learn from the branch in Asamang, and to feel the fellowship of sisterhood and brotherhood the gospel provides, with people who live in an entirely different cultural world than me.
Here is my testimony in Twi:
Me nim sE as0re no yE nokware
Me gyedi sE Jesus Christ ye me odimafo
M'Egya a 0w0 soro te ase
Me de aseda ma onyame sE m'abusua betumi nya bEkyebo bra
Me gyedi sE Thomas S. Monson yE 0k0mhyeni a 0 te ase.
Medaase sE Jesus Christ ab0 af0reE
Me nim As0re no nkyerEkyerE yE nokware esan (as a result of) Homhom kr0nkr0n no.
Ew0 Jesus Christ din mu
Amen
