Man! 2016 went by SO fast!
This week was pretty great! We had the opportunity to teach a lot! It felt like we were either traveling to a lesson or teaching a lesson. Something that doesn't happen all that often, but I love it. Sadly this week David and Laura have kind of dropped us. It breaks my heart because they are such amazing people. They say they know the Book of Mormon is true and they know at Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, but they don't know if it's the right path for them... what? I know. We'll keep doing everything we can for them, but it does come down to their agency. On a more positive note! Ian is doing amazing! He came to church for the fourth week in a row, and he just loves it! We are seeing him every nearly every day because he loves learning about the gospel so much. He has already read to 2 Nephi 6!! What a legend!
I love being a missionary! This is an amazing time of year to evaluate ourselves and set goals. I love goals and know how powerful they are. If you set faithful goals by prayer, and do everything you can to achieve them then you will do amazing things. Even if you don't achieve your goal!
We went to this amazing family last night! They are from Ghana, and they lived in Italy for 10 years or so! So we got to eat traditional Ghanaian food! They call it fufu! It was so weird, but actually pretty good! You don't swallow it, and you eat it with your hands!! Haha! They are such a faithful family. They lives in Ghana when there was a ban on the church. Brother Danso went to each member of the church every Sunday to do home teaching! They had to hide on plantations to partake of the sacrament! It was amazing to hear their stories and to feel of their love of the gospel! Plus they gave us WAY cool ties from Ghana!!
Anyways! I hope you all have a great week and a fantastic New Year! It's a great time to recommit to good habits or start if your not doing them already! 2017 is going to be AMAZING!!
Love you guys!
