Christmas in Africa

Ghana Accra Mission Christmas Conference

Hello Mom! This past week we had our Christmas Conference for the entire mission in Accra on Thursday! It was really cool but it took the entire day and traveling by trotro seriously wears you out. (just think of a super over crowded city bus driving on really terrible dirt roads).

On Wednesday though, I went on an overnight exchange in Kpone with our Zone Leader, Elder Ballard ( yes he is the grandson of the apostle) anyways it was really cool to see the different teaching styles and ways that I can improve. Also on the Friday following the conference I went on another exchange with and Elder from Nungua, so it would suffice itself to say that I am a little tired of traveling and this past week has just been horribly busy.

Anyways on Sunday we were able to have another baptism! Yay! Her name is Jackleyn and she had been taught by the missionaries since the begining of September and just would not commit to a day to be baptized but she finally did and we were super happy to see her get baptized.

As far as Christmas goes it almost doesn't exist here haha. Easter is a really huge celebration but as far as Christmas, it's just another day in the week. My plans are to go out and proselyte so it'll be good :) Elder Moss and I will be able to call home on Christmas. We're planning to call at like 6 in the evening here so I think that's like 11 back home. He'll call first and then I will, so it'll probably be closer to noon when you all back home get to hear from my sweet melodious voice, speaking the broken English of Ghana. Oh Yeah!! haha

Well the time is short and I'm at an internet cafe super far away from my area since the internet is down in the wonderfully dusty town of Klagon.

Love you all and I'll talk to you soon
