Good Afternoon,

Hello friends and family back in America. I hope all is going well and i want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Well this week has been another good one, same as Elder Koch, though it seems as it has been really slow. Micheal, the man who was going to go to Saudi Arabia isnt going for like another 2 weeks so we get to teach him more and his desire to get baptized is crazy. He keeps asking us why he can't and we tell him because you won't be able to partake of the sacrament while you are there and go to church and do all those things. He understands but he just wishes it was different. Simon said he is wanting to wait to get baptized because his wife and his little girl are in Kumasi and he doesn't know how they will take it if he gets baptized, which of course is totally understandable but he is an awesome guy and he loves to learn with us. Also, we have been contacting a ton this week trying to find new people to teach. We met this lady and she is very interested and she always gives us oranges when we come. The thing in Ghana is you have to find people who really are prepared to hear the gospel in there life. We have been meeting with a man who is a pastor of another church and he told us the other day that he has been a pastor for a long time and has buried a lot of people in his life and told a lot of his members where their family members are. Then we came and visited and while we were there he told us that he had been sitting there thinking about where his daughter is and was concernd about her. So we taught him about of course the plan of salvation. It was an awesome lesson and we felt like his heart was softened.

Well, that's all I have for this week. Talk to you in a week!


I love you people.


Elder Paulson
