Happy Halloween

Dear Fam,

Happy Halloween! This year I dressed up as a  missionary...again.. as well as every day. I'm not sure about next year but I'll probably change my costume. Last week we had the baptism of Emmanuel Moore, he is doing great and we hope the family will follow his example. This week we started working with a wonderful
family. Fabrice, Philimina, Queengirl(for real) and Kelvin. Fabrice is from Ivory Coast and philimina is from Libieria and they had their kids in Ivory Coast and Ghana so were getting all the nationalities here in the camp. I've met people from Senegal, Sierra Leon, Nigeria, Niger most of west Africa which makes it fun. Dad, one word of advice you gave me before I left is to know other countries geography. Its has really blessed me in this area. I bought a Liberia map and I know most the major cities and all the counties and it usually sunrises people when they see that I know a little bit about their country. One of our investigators, Wilford has been though a lot lately. He has been trying to stop smoking and then his daughter died two weeks ago. Last week he had an illness that kept him in bed for four days. We was too exhausted and weak to learn we would just go and sing some hymns to him every day to try and boost his spirits and keep him going. He is doing much better and is now up and running again, he still has a ways to go but to me its a miracle. This week were are going to have the baptism of a girl named Aresa, she is super smart and she is from a part member family. Her older sister is a member and has raised her from the time she was very little. This coming week we will watch general conference, I'm very excited for that. Bryan no leaves changing in these parts but I have faith it will snow this year. Matt I'll keep my eye open for your past Mission President.  Mom, your a great missionary, some day I hope to be a great missionary like you and I'll keep the Ho family in my prayers. Love you all!
