It's good to hear that everyone is doing well! For thanksgiving we're probably going to be having some Ostrich and potatoes! Haha but we still proselyte till 9.
Haha and that dress is the coolest thing ever!! Everyone wears them! And tell Emma congratulations on being able to open the door.....she must be proud. ;)
It's rained a couple of times here and man-when it rains it pours. It makes traveling impossible though since almost all the roads are dirt everything just turns into a giant lake of mud and sewage. But aside from that the weather has been, well, hot.

The Branch that I'm in is really small and new. The members honestly aren't that strong on the whole and it's kinda the culture to attend one church for a few years and then move on to a new one. But Elder Moss and I are working really hard on strengthening the leaders and almost all of our lessons with recent converts and less active members are on the Book of Mormon because people are super unfamiliar with it.
On Sunday, I was able to Baptize two young men; Justice and Festus. They are both 18 years old and are best friends. They were referrals from one of the recently converted members, Richard-who is Justice's older brother. Anyways really cool guys and Festus has a really strong testimony that this is God's church on Earth.
It's really funny how big the Church of Christ is here in Ghana. Almost none of it's members understand that it is a break off the LDS church and a serious part of the culture here is to attend one church for a few years and then switch to another one so it makes retaining people more difficult. Elder Moss and I have been working really hard to strengthen the leadership in the Branch. Our Branch President reminds me so much of Pres Watson. Very similar personalities.
I'll send some photos of the Baptism in a little bit...the internet is slow again. And I have not heard anything of a package for me as of yet so as much as I'd love one I think it should rather wait. Also from what all the other Elders have said no matter what I'll have to pay some kind of fee for my package no matter what, but I'll try and get more information on that matter.
Well for now I am doing well and currently have 5 people scheduled for Baptism on the 8th of December! Wahoo! haha well I'll talk to you soon Mom.
Love, Elder Green
