Dear Fam, First of all, happy birthday Eric. I hope it was a great one and I can't believe you are 30! I'm not gonna lie, I very surprised to be staying in Buduburam. I know I just got here but I didn't think Elder Succo would go whitewash a new area. As dad loves to quote, "Order another round because were staying here."(Bugs Life) I am very excited to be staying here, we had the baptisms of Linda, Mama, Jr., Macdonald and Mary. It was very a very special service, Linda was the happiest person on the world on saturday, it a miracle everything worked out so soon. I forgot my camera, I'll send you a picture next week. My companion got to do the baptism and he was so excited and it made me happy to see him so happy. His name is Elder Mauga, he is from Samoa. He is wonderful, he is so humble and he is excited to be here. English is not his first language and he is finding it a little difficult, he can understand me but to understand the Liberians is very difficult for him. He is the youngest in his family of 9 and is one of two members. I'm am excited to work with this wonderful Elder!
This week we will have the baptism of Eric, Moses and Dorthy. I am happy for them and I am especially happy because they all have very strong fellowshippers. The ward is very excited about the work! Eric and Moses are brothers and they lost their parents during the civil war, they are excited for their baptism and they love the youth program, so that will be good for them.
I love being a missionary, I feel like I love Ghana more and more every day, and I'll never stop talking about how good the people are here. I love it here, I love teaching the Gospel, I love seeing changes in people, I love satisfaction of being exhausted and waking up and doing it over again and again and again. I love you all!
Thanks for all the love and prayers.
-Elder L.
P.s. It sounded like the Cougars could use some of those prayers too...
