Como se va?
These past 4 weeks have just flown by and honestly just feel like its been about 1 week. i cant believe its almost october and Taggarts birthday is this friday too!! Happy birthday!!! When its someones birthday here, you dump a bucket of water on them.. haha yeah that ghana.

One day while we were walking from Kwesimintsim to Assakai some girl stopped us and wanted to talk to us.. but she kept speaking super fast french and it was hard to undersatnd her. but i found out that she is a member of the church who moced here from ivory coast! Her name is Estelle and is super sweet! Her madame (the owner of the dress shop she works at) hires woman from ivory coast and then brings them to ghana to live with her and take care of her shops for her. Thats nice and all but the madamfu is not nice at all. Estell told us a couple weeks ago she came to the church at assakai, but her madamfu got super mad, and took he French Book Of Mormon from her. so we are working on getting her a new one so she can read it again. but she was so happy to see us and the members! she came to church on sunday and enjoyed with Henrietta who is a member from Cour' Di Voire. She has been teaching us french while we have been trying to teach her english, its kinda fun!!

We Bridgets baptism this sunday! After church in Assakai, we fit about 20 people in a tro tro and all went to the stake center for her baptism! it was so sweet! The branch President spoke at the baptism and it was super powerful. It was the first baptism in the branch with the 2 first missionaries there!!!

The members here are so sweet! They love us and are giving us a lot of people to teach and to see! Time is flying by because we stay so busy here. But all in all this is my favorite area i have been in so far, and its all because of the sweet people here!!

Hope all is well in the states!
