hey there fam!it's good to hear about the activities going on back home and to hear about the nice cold weather that i'm jealous about. you wipe snow off, and i wipe sweat off... they're a little different haha. so today i had the wonderful opportunity to go to Kakum Forest, about 30 mins drive from Cape Coast. we went as a zone and had a great time there. we walked across a rope bridge that is about 100-120ft in the air. so i took pics and i'll let you see them when i figure out how i should safely send my memory card to the U.S.A. so until then you'll have to just imagine what it looks like, or you can look up the national park online. i'm sure you'd be able to find some pics there, of the forest. so it was a fun experience.
this past week was fun and interesting at times. i was hugged by a drunk man haha and everytime i see that same man, he always asks my name and where i'm from. so this was the 4th time i've met him, but the first time that he actually hugged me haha. it was pretty unexpected, but funny.
i had the opportunity to tell one of our investigators the story of how i first received my testimony of the church and that was probably the most i've ever felt the spirit. when i testified, i could physically feel something inside of me and... it's hard to explain, but even just talking about it, i feel that same way. so i'm very grateful to have that strong testimony in the church and in Jesus Christ. it's amazing how it works, but that same girl who i was bearing my testimony to, said that she too could feel and see that i knew the church was true. it was an amazing experience all together. hey there fam!

i'm happy to hear about the family doing well. dad's work is going well and i can't wait to see the finished book. good luck with everything going on and i'll speak with you on the phone soon. i'm amazed that November is already almost over and December begins. we have a baptism coming up this Saturday, so we're praying that it'll go on successfully. i'm grateful for all your love and prayers and i can feel that comfort. did you ever receive my letter? or is it still in the mail and hopefully not lost? anyway, let me know. i'll give you more info on how and when i'll call home for xmas. so until next week, goodbye and i love you all!
