Hoi familie!!

I'm so happy that you all were able to be together this past week!  Sounds like it was a great time for everyone!  Especially the little munchkin!  Man, i think he's already more spoiled than i ever was!!! =P ha ha thank you for the pictures, they are saved on the good ol' memory chip and i will print them off as soon as I can!  Love pictures =) 

This past week.. hmm.. it was good.. but slow.. really good with a few investigators that we have, mainly our chinese friends emily, and ling.. had seperate lessens with both of them, and taught about the nature of god and also Jesus Christ.. it's exciting to see there excitment and more exciting to see that there beggining to understand.. it's been slow, especially with ling, but we

made huge progress with her, and i'm really excited for our next lessen with her, as it will be on alma 32 and the faith cycle.. i love that chapter, i've had many wonderful expiriences sharing that chapter with people.  I had, once again another confirmation about the love that heavenly father has for all of his children, and how EVERY single person has there own needs and concerns.. With Emily and Ling, there both from china, same background, same everything really.. and so we were planning to pretty much share the same lessens with both.. but through the course of the different appointments, as we really listened, the direction of the lessens went different ways, and we were able to understand a lot more clearly what they needed as individuals.. it was neat, hard to try to explain through email.. but anyways, it was awesome and a neat expirience for me, just wanted to let you know! =)  Christiana.. wife of Isaac.. doing wonderful, we had three appointments planned with her this week, only one actually went through.. the other two we just talked with Isaac, that man is on fire, and he's hungry for more knowledge.. he was hit this past week with every single major anti matarial you can think of.. Blacks with priesthood, polygamy a few other things i don't remember.. and he has taken everything in stride and is just progressing so rapidly, it's amazing.. We were planning on teaching christiana about the nature of god.. and that was last monday, but she was busy with the kids so we just taught it to Isaac instead.. turns out he still beleived in the trinity, but we explained it to him, invited him to pray about it, and he was totally great.. and then later in the week when we shared the same lessen with christiana, isaac was a powerful joint teach.. and really helped christiana.. it was just wonderful.. Isaac, he talks a lot about religion with everyone now, and especially with his close friends and family.. he exclaimed to us that he doesn't understand it but when he's engaged in these conversations he just gets these ideas of what to say to these people, and he doesn't understand it as he never studied the subjects before.. it was neat to then tell him, that's the gift of the holy ghost that you just recieved giving you the words and leading you to what to say.. when we told him that he thought for a moment and then a big smile came on his face.. and he said " that's good.."; truly a remarkable man.. They fed us also this week, traditional ghanian food.. super good, but super hot!! man.. I've gotten Ghanian food a lot here in this city, and all of it is so spicy and hot!  They just laugh at me as i eat, since my white face turns red, and theres tears in my eyes.. but i'm managing!  I can now eat a full plate of "mild" ghanian food =P 

Life is good, like i said this past week was a little slow, and we need to pick it up and do better, which were both committed to do.. so yeah, other that what i've already shared, nothing else to report.. Found out who were going to dinner with on christmas, a family in the ward, they've also invited th sisters, so.. it's going to be pretty crowded and not a lot of time, as we all need to talk with our families, but the family does have skype i believe, and i would love to skype this christmas.. so.. probably next week or something i'll give you the information, because i don't have it yet, and if skype doesn't work out, then the phone works as well, no problem =) 

Love you all, thanks for everything, have a wonderful week!

Your son, bro, and friend
