Hello Everyone!!!
2017?! What the fetch, I can't believe it's already here. :O
2016 just flew by! I was in Ghana the whole time! So many happy things will
happen this year, I'm excited!
This week was a little slower, (because of the holidays) But
we still kept going. We had some fun exchanges and things. We visited lots of
members, and ate lots of food, and I mean a lot... :O No investigators came to
church but we understood that. But we had some cool lessons! I'm sure the work
will kick up this week.
I'm not gonna lie it's kind of hard not thinking of how
close going home is. But I know I'll be able to focus. It's just funny when I
think like "before I finish this tooth paste tube I'll be home" haha!
But with a new year comes goals. One one of them is to enjoy and work as hard
as I can this year, or in other words "Run to the finish line." ;) 6
months is still a good amount of time so I'm excited! to enjoy my time this
year in Ghana!
There's
nothing really much to say this week. I'm just so grateful for the protection
and all the wonderful experiences I've had in 2016 and I hope that i'll be able
to have even more this year. It's so cool to hear Ghanaian's pray and thank God
for waking up and see another day.
Also
I was so so so happy to hear that I have a new niece!!! :D What a wonderful
gift for the new year! I am so excited to see her when I come home! Nat and
Dylan are going to be such great parents! There's so many wonderful blessings
that come to us if we keep the commandments. :) I know so much that the gospel
is true. I know that through the atonement we can all be saved if we're
obedient to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. :)
I
love all of you so much and I can't wait to see you this year! But I'm also
excited for the time I still get to have in Ghana! The church is true, and I
know that if you set your goals and really pursue them with the Lord he will
help you achieve them!
Love
you all!
