Week 76

"It isn't easy anywhere to find people who are truly prepared for the gospel. I know that Africa is special. I am very blessed."

Monday, January 2nd, 2017

Sister Koch, President Koch and I celebrated Christmas together.

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Year!

For those who are not informed this is the year I come home! Pretty cool! In fact in exactly 6 months I'll be packing my bags to go home!

I am super happy to still have this time on the mission. I should be leaving Maxixe here in a couple of weeks but who knows.

So it's the New Year and I think I'll just share an experience from the first day of 2017. Yesterday we biked a lot! And we ended up near those huge trees with a new investigator of ours. We sat with his family and afterwards he gave us a reference of a family near his. It ended up resulting in over 10 new investigators. 

I just wanted to share that tender mercy that we received. It isn't easy anywhere to find people who are truly prepared for the gospel. I know that Africa is special. I am very blessed. I know that we can all do our part this year to help those who are searching for the truth to find it. 

I love you all! I hope you start off the New Year in a great way!

Destination: Maxixe

I got back just in time to see Carlos and Dulce get married.

I lent the groom my tie!

They killed a pig to celebrate the wedding and the New Year.

This last December we reached the mark of 1000 baptisms in our mission.
