This week was basically the same as every other office week. We did office things. The only upside of the week was that we were able to see our investigator Sampson 3 times! He is so sure that the church is true and every lesson he seems to be more genuine. He does have a family, his wife's name is Efia (Friday born), and his three daughters, Christabell, Eunice, and Elizabeth. They are all really young and really cute. This Sunday he brought his whole family to church and it was awesome! His wife is adorable and I love to watch her as she takes care of three little girls. She doesn't speak English at all, so we had a translator with her throughout the day. The biggest positive this Sunday was that we had 8 investigators at church! That's the most I had in Klagon! So having that while being in the offices was crazy!
Thats great that Elder Jorgensen (newly returned missionary from Ghana) could come by your home for a visit and answer some of your questions! We because pretty close while he was in the mission home sick. We talked about home and everything for a while. I'm glad he's doing better though!
About the Christmas package; if the package is bigger then the ones you sent before then I'll have to pay for it at customs. The smaller packages you don't have to pay for but the big ones they make you open up and charge you for whats inside. Elder Morris and I have become really good friends with the customs woman though so she makes everything really cheap for us so don't worry about how much it'll cost for me! The most I've paid for a package for someone else is around 90 cedis which is like 24 dollars, so if I need money then I'll just pull out a little bit, but I'm good for now! Some things I'd like to request is some hair paste! They don't have gel or hair paste out here because African's just don't need it! I haven't run out yet, but I will soon so that'd be nice to have!
I'm over my cold completely, still having a little bit of allergies though, but nothing to bad. I work out every day by myself just lifting some weights we have here. They're nothing special. Literally rebar with two cement blocks on the end! Elder Morris doesn't like to lift weights though so I normally work out alone. I can cook some Ghanaian foods! I'll be cooking a tomato stew tonight so I'll take pictures and send them as soon as I can!
Love you guys!
