Gunnar Ghana On A Mission: Hello Hello Hello!

Precious Bundle

Dear Family and Friends:)

Yet another wonderful week has passed by in the GCCM (Ghana Cape Coast Mission!) The most amazing thing I notice about mission is the growth I experience each week. Each week has a number of challenges and blessings. This week one of the blessings is I received my baby boy, Elder Griffin. haha Man I love the guy. He's so great. He is from Spanish Fork, Utah so that's something interesting. He likes Fall Out Boy, Owl City, he was on the swim team, and comes from a family of 7! He's also 6'3"! His favorite movie is Scott Pilgram Verses the World. haha So you can imagine he's a funny guy. Oh and did I mention his favorite video game is Skyrim! haha Man, me and him are going to have some good times. I'm learning a lot from him too. Even though I'm still a fairly new missionary myself new missionaries come with a great sense of faith and spirit to do this work. It's sweet to work with him. My favorite thing about him is he is willing to try. What a powerful attribute to have. Courage is what I would call it. The Lord never expects us to be perfect. Even in the talk a "Consecrated Missionary" it says we must be WILLING to give everything to the Lord. Not that we have to be perfect, but just willing:) I love that.

I'm not going to lie being a senior companion in an area were neither you or your companion speak much Twi and about 2% of people know any English is VERY DIFFICULT! haha Luckily, we have our ward mission leader, Kobby, and girl Sis Haggar who have really been helping us. We have 4 people prepared to be baptized Bro Seth, Richard, Sis Mary, and Mark. If elder Antwi was here, we would baptize them all this week, but meeting with investigators and getting their information for baptism just became a whole lot more difficult so the pace will be slowed. This next week though we have a main focus of baptising Bro Seth. It will be wonderful:)

Well that's a bummer the computer shut off and I lost about half my email... No problem I will just give a brief overview of what was lost!~

We gave a priesthood blessing to a man who had been cursed:)

I really helped Elder Griffin by sharing D&C 30... and myself:)

I stepped on a scale that said I weighed 150 lbs. lol I think it was broken, but hey who knows!

I have a testimony that our fathers and mothers are on earth to lead and guide us and that we should always follow their counsel. I know my Savior, Jesus Christ will help us with all and any of life problems. I testify that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God and that as we study it's contents we become knowledgeable in the mysteries of God:) I love you all and I say these things in the Name of Jesus Christ amen:)

Sincerely, Elder Bramwell

Ghana Cape Coast Mission is the Best!
