March 30, 2015

Hello.  Thanks for emailing me.  Great to hear from you.  The true happiness comes from serving others.  Thank you for being a great example to your grandchildren. Tell Brody I'm proud of him too.  Yeah I'm doing great.  Am going on transfer this Wednesday.  I'm going to the eastern part of Ghana to a small town.  I'm really sad to leave my area.  The Camp I really want to stay more months. But am going.  We had wonderful week.  We are having baptism next Saturday for Osman and his Mother.  They are from New York but her husband is a member.  She came to visit him last month.  She was born in Muslim family and moved to USA 15 years ago.  So her husband is a member.  She likes the teaching and about the temple work because her family are Muslims and she knows that they don't believe in Jesus Christ.  She was thinking of her family.  Those who passed away and when she heard baptism for the dead she was happy.  We helped her to understand.  She is happy for that so she went to be baptized in her husband but she is going back to New York on 11 of April so she is moving after her baptism.  The good thing is her husband is a member.  Even strong member.  He's our ward clerk.  He will help her to gain her testimony but am leaving them Wednesday.  For Regan he's such great father.  We meet with his x-wife.  She is really living very hard life.  She stays around his house but she drunk very much.  We meet three times this past week with her.  She is drunk all the time.  We try to help her to stop but she don't want to give it up.  He don't want to stay with drunk woman too which is right for he don't drink, don't have any problem that will hold him to be baptized.  He came to church yesterday. Another bad history, the husband and wife have 4 children.  They all are members.  We visited them 4 weeks ago.  They cooked for us.  We had wonderful time with them but I don't see her husband at church and I asked her.  She told me he travel but yesterday I asked her again and she called me and told me that they are not living together anymore.  I'm sad and asked her why.  She said he don't want her again.  She is Liberian and he's Ghanaian.  Bishop knows the problem but I don't really know if he's working on it.  She took two of her kids with her and moved to the camp.  I really feel bad about him.  He even got married to other woman after his wife left the house.  He took his new wife to his house.  Ohhhhhhh weakness but when I was in Ashtown I met a member who's a hero to me.  His wife passed away in birth-time of their daughter 9 years ago.  He since that time is not married to anyone and lives with his daughter doing everything with her.  Going to church every single Sunday with her in each ward in our stake because he's Stake Family History Director but he attend Sunday in different wards in our stake and he will take her with him anywhere he go on Sunday.  During the week she will be at school because he don't have anyone to take care of her for him.  He's a great father.  For Charles he's doing great.  He's a movie director.  He's going back to Liberia soon to shoot his new movie.  I told him I want to study Cinematography.  I really want to work with movies.  He told me he has a place for me to work with him.  I told him I'm a missionary and can't do that for now.  He's going to be married in November and he invited us to Liberia.  He will pay all my needs but I told him I'm still on a mission and I can't go to his wedding.  I feel bad but no choice.  All the RC are doing great and active.  We have a dog.  She lived with members and when we visited them she became friends with us so now she will go all the day with us.  She don't want to leave us and do her business.  She eats her lunch with us too.  I love that dog.  For my school I really want to study Cinematography and work with Cinema.  If you help me with this I will be grateful to you.  For your money I used it to buy shoes and suitcase and other needs but I still have some of it.  I will use wisely.  Thanks for all things.  For the love and care about me.  Tell everyone Happy Easter and have wonderful time.  I miss Emma and Lydia.  Please tell them I missed them too.
Much love,
Elder Birresa
