It has been a great start to the year as we have been able to have at least one baptism and I have been able to learn many great lessons through trial and spiritual experiences.
I had the privilege to go back to be in Makindye for some time at the beginning of the month. It was a really cool experience to serve that ward again and to see some good progress come out of our efforts. The elders there are really cool and they have become really good friends of mine. After that I came back to Nsambya to be with Elder Abeka. I think I talked about him a bit in my last email. He is a very dedicated missionary and he has taught me a lot about having love for people and seeing them as the Savior sees them. We have had many ups and downs in the work, but we have been able to strengthen each other and we are continuing to do our best. I have a lot of respect for him. As I mentioned, he and I were able to see someone get baptized. His name is Allan. We have been teaching him since early December, and he has been super dedicated to learning more about the Church and living the gospel. He doesn't have parents or anyone that really support him, so when we taught about how we are all a part of a Heavenly Family he really wanted to see it in his life. He has been one of my favorite people to teach and to really get to know in my mission. I wish I could say more, but time is limited. I'll add a picture of him at his baptism. He is the one standing next to me in the photo.
I thank you all for your prayers and your support. I really love each of you and hope that you have a great week and that February will be a great month!
Love,
Elder O'Hagan
