August 10, 2014

Hello. That is good to read you message. I don't know anything, am sorry. I wish to serve you in there when you are sick, but I know you will be okay. Am sorry, but I will keep praying for you that you will be okay.  It hard time, it is blessing, I know you learn from it a lot and we have to show him our faith. Then he will bless us more and more in our life and in your family's life. Am so grateful to have all of you for me. The time is flying. Next Friday I will be 5 month in mission. People here in Ghana they are humble nice people, they like to share what they have. They welcome you. I love Ghana, it is not difficult to proselyte in here. There is no off day except Monday. In here you can talk with everyone about the church, but one thing everyone have bad image about the church. Last week we found 1 smart man we share our  message with him, even we give him Baptismal date and we invited him to visit our church on Sunday. He promise to come and we leave him, but he did not come so we have to follow up. After church we went his house and he say he is ready to come to church, in the morning his brother called for him and ask him are you coming to church. They are Pentecost and he say I will go to LDS and his brother say don't go there, they dont believe Jesus Christ, they believe in Joseph Smith, they have different  book. We see him and have spiritual lesson with him, help him to understand, you know just having bad image about the church, that is all. But they are so good. I love them. For my companion he is is nice and good man. He is from Utah, my first companion he is from Idaho. He is not good.  He don't like me at all, he don't like African Elders. I had hard time with him, 3 month.  I feel it like a year. You know sometime some missionaries are bad. For now am having nice time with my companion. We had 3 baptism last Saturday. It was so cool and next we are working on the family to baptize them. That is cool, but we are having hard time now. I don't know if you heard about Ebola. It is killing people in here, West Africa. The church take missionaries from  Liberia and Sierra Leone so you can say all West Africa, except Ghana. So we are praying. We don't  know tomorrow, for today am okay. Those missionary from those country, they are in MTC Ghana. Maybe they will come to our mission. That is the problem for now. Ghana is different from Ethiopia. There is too much church in Ghana, more than Ethiopia. So it is business in here, there is a lot of pastors and false prophets in every corner. I don't know if you know about Ethiopia, but we have 2 big religion, Muslim and Ethiopian Orthodox. Those are very big churches in Ethiopia, but something which I like about Ghana, it is easy to talk with people about your message. They are cool. I love them, but I miss home. I will go after 19 month, long way to go.  I hope Daniel is looking forward to serve mission. Am so happy to hear from you. Thank you so much for sending email for me. For Rachel: Wow, you are done. Am so proud on you. I hope you had wonderful time on mission. Mission is good, help us to understand our self, keep doing the right thing in the right time and with the right people for the right reason.  I want visit   Brazil  one day. World cup, I love foot ball, finally my team  is champion. Am happy for that. For me, am enjoying my mission so far, hope to read you letter soon. Have good time and take care .
Much love
Elder Birresa(Jote )
