Well hello everybody. I am finally changing my location! For the first time in my mission I am going on transfers!! I have no idea where I will be going or who will be there once I arrive. I just hope that I can handle this new part of Ghana and be able to be the individual I have to be to find the right people.
Change is going to be nice, however, I don't get to see a few baptisms that I have been planning, but the people will still be baptized and that is what matters. I was going to have a baptism this Saturday. His name is Samuel and he is a phenomenal boy. He learnt everything so fast and efficiently. I could hardly contain myself when we got through his interview earlier today. I am going to miss seeing him and re-teaching him but as long as he makes that step towards God I am fine with the situation. He however is not very happy that me and my companion are leaving (they are closing our area) because he wanted on of us to baptize him.
Change is a very essential part of our lives, it is something that we cannot fear. Change is a situation that forces growth and understanding. Only when we stand in the way of change do we change it's effects to the negative. Change is not designed to be impossible, but it is designed to be hard. Without it's difficultly, change would be pointless. Change brings challenges and trials all of which you can overcome. Without a shadow of a doubt I know you can all overcome any change, however be aware on how you let the change change you. Make sure you rise to a greater height not slump to a lower standing.
Become a giant in all things you are a part of, rise to lead and to assist to raise others not just gratify your pride. Become a leader that pulls the rest rather then uses others to raise himself. With each change we are given, we will either strengthen or weaken under the pressure. Be careful because the result is your choice.
So Ghana is amazing right now and I cannot wait to see what it has in store for me in the future. I am ready to take on challenges and face the world just to throw a few punches every once in awhile.
I love you all, and I want you all to know that I have a sure and unshakable testimony in the truth of the message that I share. The message the I am privilaged to share each and everyday has the power to CHANGE all who live upon this Earth. Let the message of the restoration change you for the better. I love you all and I want you all to be happy, i have found the way that brings everlasting happiness. I want you all to have the same.
Love, Elder Edison (Moving On)
