ill keep this one short, ill send a good last one next week.
we had a great week, mashale is such a good guy. we met a lot of people but somehow they just arent serious so the search for more investigators is still on! had a fun week in Otuam, no one was there to translate so we straight up tried to teach people in fante hahahah the lessons were sooo bad but it was kind of fun to stretch our fante to its limits haha

im trying to see if i can finish the book of mormon before i go home. im in heleman rn so we will seee if its possible... got a lonnnnnnnng flight and a long lay over in london, i think some mccdonalds and a little BOM will be niceeeee hahahaha

one thing ive learned these past few months is that satan is so aware and is working harder and harder everyday for me to just stop, saying things in my head, things like, "why go out?" "just sleep" "sit at a members house and chill" soooooo many voices in my head but ill i keep thinking about is what president monson said, FINISHERS WANTED. 

thats all i want, to be able to come home with such peace that i not only completed a full time mission, but gave it my all. i love what connor van alfen said in his last email, "laid in all on the alter for the lord" (such a great example to me the kid) i also hope to have that same feeling as next week Wednesday when i see my fam and hug my mom, that its finished and all those months away from these people, it was worth it. for because of this separation, i found myself, i found a new side of me that i never knew.

trying to become a true disciple of Jesus Chirst, its not an easy task and i have sooo much more to go but the journey that has helped me get on the path of discipleship, that i will never forget. i know that only serving a mission could of gotten me on that path.

so grateful for my family, they are the best. cant wait to see them!

till next week!

i love you

pray for me.
