Dear Family, Dear Friends, Dear John.

Try eating an orange like this. It's so good! You just cut the top and squeeze the juice. Eat the inside if you like or toss it!. Like a little orange juice drink from an orange, who knew!

     Hope everyone is doing well! This week was really nice, but hard as well as one of our main translators traveled and we were left to really dig for some English speakers to work with our members. Our Branch President lost one of his nieces this week and it was so sad to see. Sometimes we look at these great leaders and think nothing could stumble them, but it is humbling to see that we are all human. Elder Griffin and I visited their family a lot this week and did our best to bring them some peace and comfort.

     Today we met a man who fuels Air Force One when any of the presidents come to Ghana. He studied all about fuel growing up in Wisconsin and came back to Ghana to refuel planes. It was really quite interesting. Two other Elders in our zone ran into a group Americans doing humanitarian work in their area and were invited over to teach a lesson! I can't imagine how that went, haha. The way Americans and what I've seen white people in general communicate with each other and interact is soooooo different then the people of Ghana. I don't even know how I would teach a lesson to Americans. I would probably start with the Restoration though:)

     We have a lot of new investigators right now. The closest to baptism is Benard, Bro. Seth's son. We are planning that for the15th of November. One man named John Cash who is a man everyone told us to forget about and he said he would be coming to church for over a year now, but for some reason we kept running into him and having impressions to meet with him and you know what? HE CAME TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY:) the Lord has his time and his ways that is all I can say.

    I know the Church is true. I had the chance to hear the audio of 4 of the conference talks and I can stand as a witness Jesus is our Savior, he directs this church. The men and women that stand in positions of leadership are called of God and are imperfect! Which is beautiful because I am imperfect too! And that is a gift from God that we can all learn and grow in our imperfectness. Relying on the Atonement and helping and lifting one anothers burdens. The Brethren of this Church are so loving, so kind. They really do their best to represent and do the will of the Lord. And when they make mistakes, which they will, then wonderful because we all have things to learn no matter what age or point in our life:) I write these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Sincerely Elder Gunnar Stanley Bramwell

Yes these are posters of women who died at age 129 and 120. I met this women who looked like she was not alive, and her family said she was over 100 years old... they live forever. It's no joke. That or until about age 30. It's really 50/50.
