hey fam!
it's good to hear from y'all again. things have gone well here this past week. on saturday we had 3 baptisms like planned, which was a blessing. so within the 2 months i've been in swedru, i've been blessed with 7 baptisms already. the people here accept the gospel so nicely, but we need to keep helping them come to church. yesterday, on sunday, one of our candidates to be confirmed didn't show up, so we had to run to his house quick. haha. but luckily everything worked out, and we made it back to the chapel in time for him to be confirmed as well. so it worked out and we were helped by the spirit.
i'm glad my letter arrived at carol's so soon—i didnt know how long it would take for it to get there, but i'm happy she received it. i also sent a letter last week, home, so you'll have to let me know when you get it. it also has the pics that i sent to carol in it. so you can finally see a little of me.
this past friday, we had district meeting in another village called odoben, which is north of swedru. so me and my companion instructed there and i taught on patience, a very important Christ-like attribute. it went smoothly and i had a lot to talk about.
i'm still healthy here and have been continually blessed, so thanks again for all the prayers for all of you! they truly help me every day to keep going. the work's hard but worth it and it's easy to see the rewards already from hard work.
i hope everyone is okay back home, and i'll talk with all of you very soon! keep up the good work going on there with each one of you. i love you all and will see ya soon!
