Hey Fam and Friends,
This week was great. During the proselyting time, we were
able to share the message of Christ being the gift given to us from our
Heavenly Father. During our time off (Christmas Day) we were able to enjoy ourselves by drinking tons of soda and chopping some sweet chicken. I did some
fireworks with the members and some investigators and finished the day with
calling my family. Thank you family for taking the time to talk to me and truly
make my week and months worth it. This mission is not an easy thing to do
especially when some do not understand why I am doing it, but when I talked to
you guys.... it made it worth it and made me happier than you can imagine.
I am doing well. Today all of our MTC mates gathered
together in Kumasi for our 1 year mark. We played soccer and are about to go to
somewhere called "Poolside." We will go to a restaurant with a pool and eat some
pizza and fries and watch others swim while we enjoy ourselves. To think that I have been in the country for 1 year now blows my mind and it still does not seem real. Many people keep telling me
that it is now downhill, but in fact it is the bigger hill that I am to climb.
This next one year will be when I try even harder and put forth even more
effort in all that I do. I have been called to serve a two-year mission meaning
that I am to work and serve for two full years and not one year and then coast
the rest of the way. This work is tough at times but can be very sweet though
when you see the gospel change the lives of others.
I love you all and hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas
and will have a Happy New Year.
