My beloved family! I have thought for about the last 2 minutes about what I should write about and it's coming small small. We had transfers this week and spent the night in Takoradi to bring everyone here for the transfer. we have 2 brand new elders both from Ghana and it's been a lot of work and fun this week.
We played rugby on the beach this morning! It was so nice! Be jealous cause we enjoyed paa!!!
And yes, I'll send pics today of the beautiful beach. No one got hurt, just sunburnt. Freaking sucks.
One thing I believe in personally in life is progression. Progression in life and progression to become more like the savior Jesus Christ. There have been times in my life where I can see how I progressed and experienced a change of heart, and times when I did stupid things and moved backwards. I owe a lot of credit to my parents for helping me when I was in both situations. But I feel that now, to progress, I must endure to the end of my mission and finish with the same energy I had when I first came....which is gonna take a miracle cause I could WORK when I first got here! But I'm working out and eating good so small small I'll get there. I have enjoyed my mission so far and the next challenge is to simply finish strong.
Please don't remind me how long I have left each week as you email or write, I don't feel now that coming home is even real, and I want it to stay that way so please no countdowns here.
I know all of us know what we need to do to progress in life, I know that we have all felt a mighty change of heart in our lives at one point, and as Alma asked, "Can ye feel so now?" I hope you all can and if you don't, do the things you were doing before to feel that same mighty change of heart. I have felt it again and again. The church is true and I can't express how much I love each of you. It's been almost 2 years and yet I still feel so close to all of you. I love and miss you and pray for you every night. even when I'm tired.
Much love,
Elder Darren Hodges
We are Boss
