Merry Christmas!

Hey guys,Merry Christmas!!!!!! Ill be calling you no later than 12pm your time, but it will probably be a little early. We can only talk for about a half of an hour so write any questions that you have down so we can make the most of the time. Sorry about the bug comment, I guess that you took that way out of proportion. Everyday we ride bikes, and as we ride, because there are so many bugs around, they fly into your mouth. On top of that there are not too many ways to store food properly here so sometimes the bugs get in. There really are not too many problems, and for the most part it’s just a good source of protein.Mom, thanks for ordering the ring for him. I really don’t care to have one, because Ill just loose it anyways.Christmas in Ghana isn’t so much of a family thing as it is a community thing. Our ward is having a party from 9 in the morning to 7 at night were there will be soccer and food and stories and all kinds of fun things. For our district, we will be buying a bunch of oranges and go around caroling and handing them out. Our mission pres. gave us 5 extra dollars in our substance this last week, so that we can make a really good meal and give it to someone who doesn’t have anything. Everything is just really interesting and exciting.We had a baptism this last Saturday and everything went really well. I still don’t have any clothes, but I think that Ill just buy some here, because they will be a lot cheaper. Ill let you know if I have any problems.Everything is going really good over here, and I’m really excited to talk to you this week. Love you lots and tell everyone that I say merry Christmas.Love Elder Russell
