Hello hello.
This week we planned for some big goals and we were able to achieve them. We planned to get 10 lessons with members participating and we were actually able to achieve 18! The members were very willing to help and it helped a lot of our lessons flow better. We hope to see more of the people we are teaching at church.
It's so weird thinking that I go home next week. Everything is always a "last one." I've been trying harder than ever to live in the moment and enjoy the small time that I have left. It's always a little funny though when I tell people I'm going home and then they turn to my companion. "When do you go home Elder Durling?" "2025"
I remember those times...
In Ghana they are huge into getting custom tailored clothes for yourself. I'm on my way out so I've got some cool stuff made. The picture is below.
I'm not gonna lie, it was a pretty normal week and I didn't get a lot of pictures. Sorry if this email was boring. Next week we get 2 phones for each companionship and that is gonna change a lot. I'm really glad that I'll be able to have it for the entire one week left in my mission haha.
•Week 2•
It's something that I've talked about before but pride is truly the source of most of this world's problems. They say that pride is the root of all evil. When I say pride I mean believing that you are superior to someone else. This causes us to treat other people as less than us and to develop the idea that only our needs matter. Ezra Taft Benson said that the center of pride is enmity towards our fellow men and enmity towards God. In reality we are all very small in this universe. We will all die one day and return to the dust so there is no use in being prideful. I suggest you all read the talk "Beware of Pride" by Ezra Taft Benson. Now sit down and be humble.
