Hello all of my beloved friends and family members!
This week was a pretty cool one!
A couple of days ago, we were coming into the chapel and saw that somehow a big lizard had somehow gotten inside! So for about 10-15 minutes I got the chance to chase around this lizard and eventually get it outside. Just kind of a funny situation. Also just this last Sunday me and my companion got the chance to teach the primary in church. We taught them the song about the wise man and the foolish man building their houses. Made after the parable taught by Jesus Christ in Matthew. They got very very into it and it was pretty funny!
This week I have been studying a lot about being humble, and also being thankful! As I have been reading in the book of Matthew I am of course learning about all of the amazing things that Jesus Christ was doing among the people. Healing lepers, causing the blind to see, curing palsy, and even raising the dead. When I read about all of these things I think about how blessed I am to be in good health and I am also so very thankful for Christ going through the atonement and suffering for me.
I would encourage you all to think about what you are thankful for this week!

Questions and Answers with Dad...
We just learned he got a bike...
I was pretty excited to receive these bikes, but they are very small bikes, like Lauren or mom sized and the seat is way to low. It is pretty funny to watch me ride because as I ride, my legs come plenty above parallel with the ground. haha. I actually already raised the seat as high as it goes. It has a short rod.
Did they give you bikes so you could go farther?
Actually in this mission anyone can request bicycles if they would like them. For us we requested them because our area is HUGE and sometimes it takes us a long time going from one appointment to another.
Mom's Question and Answers...
How do people celebrate their birthdays in Ghana? Or do they?
They do not do anything super different than us! Sing happy birthday song, maybe give a gift or two, wish them a good day.
I saw on my weather app that you had a lot of rain last week...
Is my app correct?
We are just outside of Kumasi, and we did not receive really any rain last week, just two sets of drizzles.
Are you healthy?
I am healthy!
Do you need anything????
Just letters! :)
Love you so much!
