1st Email from Ghana - December 14, 2015

Family!!!!!

Ghana is amazing!!!!!!  So we left Sunday morning and went from Salt Lake to San Francisco to Amsterdam to Ghana!!!  It was too long of a flight haha!!!!!!



So now in Ghana, well Budumberg, and my new companion is Elder Roberts!  He's showing me the ropes and all and it's amazing!  The heat here is pretty nice, but the humidity is killer.  So we baptized two of his investigators Saturday actually!!!!  And not gonna lie, the time change is killing me!!!  I try to sleep but it's around 3 or 4 pm over there so it's hard sometimes.

So  Sunday through Tuesday we were on the plane.  We arrived about 8 p.m., and then we went to the mission home with President Hill.  I swear if the heat doesn't kill me, the traffic will!!!!  The traffic is horrendous here!!!!!!  Car after car after car, so close together I'm surprised we haven't hit someone coming here!!!

So the area I'm in is a biking area!  It's huge, rocky, and it's got a lot of hills.  Good for the thighs, but bad for the humor when we try to be on time, ha ha!!!!  So it's fun anyways going around and seeing all these wonderful people.  The kids are so nice and love to see us when we come by, they all call me a bronie, cuz I'm white, but that's ok haha.  Also, I'm starting to learn Twi!!!!!

Sample of the language he is learning.

We have a big biking area, we play soccer a few times a week, I need my correct charging cord for my camera or I might just buy another,  Also, we have a few investigators!  Twi is a very hard language to learn, I'm trying to get used to traveling a lot by bike so ya, that's hard.  Also, It's super cool to be here and see all these amazing people!!!!

Well, I'll update you more later, but it s amazing to be here and serve the Lord!!!  It's hard, but I can make it!!!  Almost a month down, about 23 more to go!!!!!

Sincerely,

Elder Smith
