We come late from apartment.  We have to fix our bicycle so we come late to the internet cafe.  We are having FHE with one of the pioneer.  Dr. Kissi.  I met him in the MTC.  He wrote one book called "Walking On The Sand".  He's writing another book.  They are editing it in Utah.  I will do my best to get that book and you will read it one day.  It is a really nice one on church life in Ghana.  Anyway it is really nice having family around and you have a big family.  I really love family.  I'm a family person.  That's all we have.  Just our family.  I'm glad that you all are having fun and a good time.  I'm just feeling the Christmas spirit that you all have there.  We had a great time.  We sang Christmas songs yesterday at church in local language.  Everyone is happy for that.  After church we met a few people for the first time.  We had 2 LA coming to church and 4 investigators coming to church.  2 came for the first time.  They are invited by members.  We are going to get to know them.  This week we are preparing for Christmas.  We are going to have an activity in our branch.  People are busy.  We have a family that we are working with but she is having a problem with keeping the commandment so she needs a small time.  We will work on that.  We have David and his sister Joyce.  We are teaching them lesson 2.  We invited them to church but they didn't come.  But we will try and work hard with them.  We have other people that we are working with too.  We have RC in our area.  She is very good.  We call her Grandma.  She is very kind to missionaries.  I had a chance to share my testimony yesterday.  I gave a small talk about the birth of our Savior.  I quoted from Isiah.  I really love that scripture and the words of King Benjamin from the Book of Mormon.  The greatest gift which is given to all of us is to save and redeem us from our Father, His only begotten Son in flesh.  I'm grateful for that and I'm happy that I know it for myself.  That He lives and He will come again.  Thank you so much for all things that you are doing for me.  I will talk to you all soon.  I would really love to talk with Emma and Lydia too...
Much love,
