I was a marriage counselor last week that was very funny. Also I was able to watch one talk from General Conference: Sunday Morning Session for Thomas S. Monson. The rest of the time we watched Conference it was in Fante so I didn't understand. Then they changed it to English at the end.

Well here it is just heating up, we are becoming hotter and hotter here each day. The weather coming up is called Homaton (wrong spelling), but it is where the wind comes off of the Sahara desert and makes the weather here very hot and dry.

We are teaching about eight people a day that count, but often there are a lot of people that we teach around them but it only counts for one person. We have a few that we are preparing for baptism: Daniel, Otoo, Andrew, Joseph, Christian, and some eight year olds. I won't be boisterous so I won't tell you anymore about baptisms unless you guys want to know.

The church is an older yet very nice building that makes the people of Winneba think that the Church is very wealthy and will give them money. The apartment is a big one in comparison to others. There are three bedrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a hall, and a garage that we do our wash in. The scenery is great, lots of tropical stuff, but not as great as it would be if people wouldn't stop chopping down all the trees. Also the coast is very nice. We proselyte close to it every day, so that is fun.

The food: We have over seven different styles/flavors of fufu, a food called Wachi, ballfruit, shito, plantains, lots of rice, and some other dishes. I mainly eat rice, hand made tortillas with eggs, fufu, and ballfruit. We also have amazing pineapple that is three or four pineapples for one cide. Umm anything else? Feel free to ask otherwise I am forgetful.

Weeks are flying by, that is for sure. I am still in October other than I write the date on our missionary calendars. So BYU beat New Mexico or lost? I hope they smoke Air Force xD

I received the package yesterday! Ah it was sweet. Funny story about yesterday/today--the internet workers of our typical cafe went on strike so we couldn't use internet there. We aren't sure when they will start working again if at all, so we went looking for others and they were all closed or full all day until now when I finally was able to get one that didn't rip me off with bad internet.

I'm in great spirits :D Know that thigns are good for me so long as you keep talking to me. I can e-mail family whenever I have time, due to poor internet and such.

Love much-
