Hey everybody. Hope you guys are all doing sweet. Life here in Ghana is the same ol same ol. This week has been super scorching. The sun's rays were very powerful and I got burnt for the first time in months. We did a lot of finding this week and were able to get a bunch of new investigators. The old investigators we are having all have problems and are not coming to church so we are struggling to get people that we can hopefully help to progress before the end of the year. I'm still having struggles with Elder Maganda, but I'll probably have at least the next 6 weeks to solve all those. This sunday we had stake conference. It was a broadcast from Salt Lake City to all of West and Southeast Africa areas. Presiding was Pres. Packer. The other speakers were Eld. Dallin H. Oaks, sister Ann M. Dibb, and Elder Christoffel Golden. Elder Dallin H. Oaks was the best speaker. He was really knowledgeable of the problems in Africa and addressed them very well. He talked about many things, but the one that was my favorite was about adopting a gospel culture. It was about making living the gospel and creating traditions that help us to live the gospel as the shared culture for latter day saints all over the world. It really made me realize how our family has so many traditions and practices that have made living the gospel our culture. It also reminded me that thanksgiving is this Thursday. Well I hope you guys have a great week. This Wednesday is transfers so if anything happens you'll get to know next week. Love you guys a ton. Love, Elder Chambers
