So, Yesterday we had the opportunity to witness one of our dear Sisters enter into the waters of Baptism and make an everlasting covenant with our Father in Heaven. Her name is Paulina and she has had tons of support from the Branch and they have been very willing to help us in translation efforts.
My week was a bit on the slower side of things, we had difficulty finding new people to teach and we did a lot of sorting through our past investigators--trying to see who would be serious about the things that we teach. However, the Branch has been helping us with referrals to teach so we are looking very hopeful towards these new people.

Now, I don't want to be disrespectful to anybody's faith or religion so to begin: This is a Christo-Disco Church. When we found this I was at a loss for words. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
My companion and I have been working pretty well together, but we are a bit sad at the moment. Our companionship will most likely be broken up within the week. Due to the Ebola Virus 275 missionaries in Sierra Leon and Liberia will be evacuated and we will be reassigned to various missions throughout the world. If the Ghanaian Govt. approves we will receive 12 missionaries as well as 3 senior couples into our mission. Now why am I saying that Elder Kay and I will be broken up? Because our area typically holds 4 missionaries and we have two extra beds in our apartment and the most solid evidence is that our mission president straight out told us we'd be split up. Haha it's all part of the experience though. I am excited, but a bit apprehensive because of my huge area and the portion that I would take over is a place that we have seldom gone to. Oh well. The Lord will help me.
I am safe and we shouldn't have to worry about the Ebola Virus. How is everything at home? I'm excited that the Ogden Temple will be opening soon. I'm especially excited that Carls gf will be going along with you all to see the open house. I hope that she feels the Spirit there. How is Carl doing? He sounds happy and excited thus far.
This past Saturday we had a zone meeting with our mission President. During this meeting I had the opportunity to bear my testimony relating to how I knew that the Book of Mormon was true. As I had done this I could truly feel the Spirit bear witness that what I had experienced truly was from God, and that I had felt the peace and comfort that comes from our loving Heavenly Father. I know that the Book of Mormon is True, and I know that any who honestly read it, and ask in prayer to our Heavenly Father if it is true that they will gain a testimony of its Divinity through the Peace and Comfort of the Holy Ghost. I invite all to follow the Saviors advice to 'come and see (John 1:39)' Everything is going really well for me here. I love missionary work and I know that I have changed a lot since the time that I left home. I mean, I'm still the same me, but I think I have different desires in life and my priorities have changed around a bit. I love you all dearly and I pray that you all have a great week.
Love, Elder Green
