Hey guys,
So before I forget happy birthday to both Nate and Carly. Sorry that I was not able to write to you sooner. I need lots of mail so that I can be happy. The happier that I am the more effective I am as a missionary. So the choice is yours, either you can choose eternal life for the people of Ghana through me, or eternal damnation. (2Nephi 2:27) Anyways, Africa is great, Ive been out in my area for about a week and a half now. I tried writing you an email, but I guess it never whent through. My companions name is Elder Whaikawa. He is from New Zealand, and is amazing. This is his last transfer though, so he only has a bout a month left befor he goes home. Im serving in the Mpintsin area, which consits of two tinny villages that are about a 30 min walk from our appartment. The people here are very humble, and so far we have had quite a lot of suckess with the work. The main food here is called fufu, which is like taking casava, or potatoes and pounding it with a long stick until it becomes a dough, then you add in some mashed plantain and then mash it some more. You eat it raw with a soup that usually has some kind of fish in it. You eat it and the soup with your hands. They say that the first few times that you eat it you hate it and then you love it and you always whant it. Ive had it three times and still don’t really like it. Ghana is most deffinatly the jungle, and very hot. It is also very dirty and there is a lot of garbage here. One of the missionaries was telling me that Ghana is the second most dirty country in Africa, and I would believe it if they told me it was the second most dirty in the world. I love the people here though. They are all so nice and frienly. Everyone that I pass yells out to me and my comapnion, “Abrooni, how are you?” Which means, white guy, how are you? Its really kinda funny. Some of the kids in the ward asked were I was from and I told them the moon, and their eyes just got big. It was really funny.Well Im out of time. Please remember to write.Love Elder Russell
P.S. I don’t know Jons, or grandma and grandpa skousons e-mail address, and Im not sure if grandma russells is right.
