Miriam

Hi family! Ok so to solidify the time, I can call at like 8:00 our time. By that time I should be done reporting numbers, transfer news is here , and we have closed our day. That's 1:00 your time. Everyone is invited to come haha! Tomorrow we go for a mission tour with a visiting 70 named Elder Terrence M. Vinson. I will be in Kumasi until like 6:00 which means I'll be in Obuasi by like 8 or so. 

But hey! In two weeks I will be 8 months on mission! The time just flies by! Thank you all for your love and support and words of encouragement. 

I am very excited to hear all your voices on sunday! I really am excited! 

This past week went by well. We called one of our investigators, Miriam, to remind her to church and she said she was coming. We started church and she wasn't there. After taking the sacrament, one of the women with a small child was outside and called my companion and I outside and low and behold it was Miriam. She said that she couldn't come to church that day because right after she hung up the phone, her sister called and told her their auntie was sick and needed help. She finished washing her child and walked all the way to church to tell us personally because her phone was out of credit and she didn't want to disappoint us. My companion and I just love her so much. Before us she didn't know anything about Christ. But look at her now. She walked all the long way to the chapel in the scorching sun to tell us the most truthful, heartfelt apology I have ever heard. If only all of us could show this same determination in all our lives. I know if we just begin to show a little more determination and love just like Miriam did, the spirit can teach us things that we could never imagine. 

Well anyways I look forward to hearing from you! Love you all!
