Wow…well I guess this is the last email... Probably won't email next week, I will be heading down to Cape Coast in the morning. So if I do, it will probably just be a short one from the mission home. Can't believe that it actually is here.... just doesn't seem real. But, I know it’s time and I am pretty content with myself right now! Just gotta sprint to the finish I guess. Today was a pretty cool last P-Day. We went up to a place called Kintampo, about an hour and a half north east of Sunyani. It is the exact center of Ghana, and there are some waterfalls there, so we went to go see those… they were some pretty sweet waterfalls. As for the week past, it was pretty good.... my mind is kind of all over the place though. We had some good lessons, a great one with Benjamin earlier in the week. We taught about the Holy Ghost and how we will feel good when we learn something that is true and we will feel bad when we learn something that isn't true - God won't lie to us. He said that made a lot of sense and he realized that anytime he was meeting with us, or reading the Book of Mormon, or praying, he always felt good, and every time someone said something bad about the church, he felt bad. So it was cool! What else from the week... it’s rained almost every day. We are in the heart of rainy season, so it will be way hotter in Tejas next week than it will be here... not excited for that. I remember when Dad and I were walking out of that one building downtown after we had voted, just before I left. It was dang hot, and I said "man, I am so glad I am leaving to get out of this weather!" He just looked at me like I was crazy and said "Umm.... you're going to AFRICA" Hahahahaha. I cannot wait for wintertime!!!!!!!!!! I went on splits to Fiapre with Elder Mensah on Saturday. Great missionary, we had a great time. Fiapre is probably the hardest area in the mission…the missionaries there are working so hard. The work is still going along in our area - got some more referrals this week and the members are doing well, the recent converts are progressing. Members are excited about the work. Just gotta keep that going. We have a baptism planned for Saturday, a young man named Daniel. He is a referral from Samuel - he is his cousin somehow. He is a carpenter and is getting ready to go to university. He is a really cool dude and knows funny little sayings from American English that make me laugh - like "I'll be back in a jiffy." I'll also get to go down to Kumasi for one last ZL council on Friday, and then we have a football match with the members planned for Saturday - against the Church of Christ - and the baptism at night. Then, after church on Sunday, I'll head down to Kumasi to meet up with my MTs - Hatch, Bassey, Dodd, and Fawole. Ghana Cape Coast Mission woho!!! Woho paaaaa!!!! -Elder Brown
