Hello

Dear Fam,

This week was transfers, my new companions name is Elder Haggard. He is was one of the district leaders in our zone the past transfers but I am supper excited to work with him, he loves to be obedient, work hard and he is just a fun guy so I'm really excited to work with him. We have a lot of work ahead of us, we have made some goals of what we can do to really help our area and the ward improve. I feel like over the past few weeks things have been going down hill a bit but I am looking forward to improving things. This past week, we felt like we were always running... actually we went running a few times in the morning and if feels great. But we just gave it all we had and I have just been feeling great inside all week. This coming week some more exciting things will happen in Accra from the 4 stakes they are going to split them and make 6 stakes. We will have a huge meeting at the Ghana International Conference Center. Also some other sweet news is that Eugene, the first recent convert of my mission received his endowment on saturday. I talked to a senior couple who is serving in Ho and I over heard them saying that 3 people from the Ho branch were going to the Temple on saturday so I asked the names and I was so happy to hear that he is doing so well. I continue to be grateful that the members in Ghana have a temple so close to them and I pray that more of the people I was blessed to meet and teach will go to the Temple.

On Friday night we were knocking doors around 8:30, no one was interested but we kept doing it until one boy let us in and took us to his Grandfather. His name is Peter Fojo, he used to teach philosophy at the University of Ghana but is now retired. We met with him and his Grandson and he was very receptive we are going back this evening and he said the rest of the family will join us. I remember at ZLC we talked a lot about working to find the elect and to find families. That is what we are now focusing on as a mission. That day, I felt a peace in my heart that great things were ahead, the experience we had last week reconfirmed the feelings I felt that day and we are driven and motivated to continue to do all we to make the work move forward. Finding these people is what will really bless the ward we are serving in and all the wards and stakes in Ghana. The Church needs more people that can lead, that can help teach and add strength. We are praying that we can find those the lord has prepared and President Judd always says I know we can be lead to more "Elder Satatis'" if we will earn the lord trust. Thank you all for your love and prayers, I'm sorry that I didn't have time to respond to your letters and questions but they were wonderful and I will keep sprinting to the end. Love you all!

-Elder L.
