Week 3

We received a phone call from Conner at 4:30am our time and we were thrilled to speak with him.  It is 7 hours later in Accra.  It is his last day in the MTC and he said it is extremely busy today.  He said they have been having some power outages.  Conner sounds upbeat and of course it is wonderful to hear his voice!

Following is the email he sent today after three attempts:

The technology here has been failing me today. Anyways, today is my last day here at the MTC. I am so excited to finally be able to start sharing the gospel to the people here. From what I have heard, they are very humble and are willing to accept it. These last few days here have been very spiritual. President Allen has been doing a great job of making us leave here on a spiritual high. I also finished the Book of Mormon again. It is truly the word of God, and I hope all of you will read it. It has brought me a lot of joy in my life and I promise you that it will in yours too. My district and companion have been great, and I am sad to leave them behind. I am sorry that I have not had a lot of time to email people individually, we are very busy with all our classes and moving us around. Next Monday should be better. Please email me with what all of you are up to and if you have any questions those too. I really hope everything is going as well over there as it is here. I'll talk to you all later.

Love,
