It has been a phenomenal week yet again! We saw a lot of blessings come through people that we have found, progress we are seeing as a companionship, and the hand of the Lord in our own lives.
To start I got to go on exchanges with Elder Taylor in Mengo this week. He is such a great guy! It was a neat experience since we were able to teach really well together right off the bat, which doesn't always happen on your first exchange with someone. Nevertheless, it was cool. They have a lot of amazing people that are preparing for baptism in the coming weeks that they are teaching.
I also got to go to an area called Kisugu to be on exchanges with the Assistants to the Mission President. I was with Elder Gilbert for the day, and I was really able to learn a lot about the work depends on our effort. We have to put our foot forward before we know which path to take sometimes, and this helped us to find some great people that are ready for the gospel in their area as well as in our own.
Yesterday Elder Corbridge and I taught Gospel Doctrine as it was the missionary Sunday, and all of us were in charge of the classes. (I wish we could have taught Primary, but here's hoping for next time!) We had a great time and we had great insights from the members as we talked about the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament. We were learning about the Gathering of Israel and how the Lord will write His law in our hearts when we allow Him to (Jeremiah 31:33). It was awesome to have a moment to reflect on how God has truly given us every opportunity in this day and age to know the truth and to live by it for ourselves and our families. I am grateful for that blessing and I hope that the work that we do each day can bring the equal opportunity to the attention of those we meet each day!
Now, I have an announcement to make. With this being my last year on my mission, I want to give all of my attention to what we do here. With this desire I am deciding to move my mass emails to a monthly basis; sending emails to this group on the last Monday of each month. This does not mean that you won't know what is going on anymore, because I will continue to tell my mother what all is new with me each week, and I'm sure that the blog that she runs will continue to give these updates. This also does not mean that I don't love you guys! I'm forever grateful for your support and friendship, and I look forward to the day that I can see you again.
I love you all and I hope that you have a stupendous week!!
-Elder O'Hagan
P.S. I'm getting a hang of this driving manual thing!
