Week #73 - Mahoney Ward Lincoln NE

Merry Christmas everyone!

The new year is approaching fast and 2016 is already coming to a close. It is crazy to think that this winter will be my last one in the mission field. This week we found a couple of new people who wanted to learn about the gospel. My relationship with my companion has improved a lot and the missionary work in the area is speeding up as well. I had a great time Skyping my parents and my family, and I was happy that I could find them all still alive and doing great! The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family to support me in my righteous choices and I am grateful that he has! Our mission is supposed to be getting iPads now ( however this isn't the first time we have been told that ) in a time frame anywhere from next week to a couple weeks after I will go home from my mission. That isn't very specific to me but we are starting to prepare for them so that we will have healthy technology habits before we receive them. Well we had our Christmas zone conference this week and we all had a blast! Our mission president taught us about using the atonement daily in our lives and my companion had to give a talk about the steps he takes when he uses the atonement. It was great and I learned a lot!

I hope everyone has had a great year! Now is the time to start making those new year's resolutions (not to be broken this time)! Love you guys! With firm conviction, Elder Adair
