Dear Family,

Great to hear all the good news. Especally about Nate and Shalissa, I am so happy to hear about baby number 6!!! I always love a great series that goes to game 7 (unless one of the teams is the Lakers or the Celtics, in that case I always want the other team to win in 4 games.) I am grateful that our wonderful family keeps growing and growing, I love you all! I want to wish you all a happy Independence day as of yesterday. Yesterday Ghana turned 54. (27 in mom years) ( :

Bryan tell C. I was very happy to get his letter last week! Same goes for your kids Nate, I really enjoyed that. Please tell J. that I saw some baboons once when we were traveling from Ho to Accra. There were about five of them that crossed the Road.

Sorry my letter is unorganized but I figured I would talk about my P-days. We are not allowed to play sports. Too many missionaries have been injured. Which is Ok with me me because we have a Ping-Pong table in our compound. We wash/clean the apartment and then go to the cafe. I have noticed my P-days change dramatically with my companions and Areas. In Ho we would usually go on some adventure but here in Osu we do more relaxing, and hang around the apartment.

I'm doing great, please pray that we can find more people looking for the gospel. Our teaching pool is slowly going down and we are doing all we can to bring it back up. Mom and Dad, know I am praying for the H. family and I am excited about the new house. I love you all and I will send you a longer letter next week along with a few more pictures! I tried this week but it didn't work out.

Love, Elder L.
