He knows the end from the beginning...

Hey there everybody!

Here's a quick update about life in Iganga. We have had quite a few ups and downs, but things are ultimately working out. We have a handful of people that have been referred to us and that were taught before by the Elders before us. All are preparing for baptism and we hope and pray that all will be well with them.

If there is anything this last week has taught me, its that He knows the end from the beginning and He knows who we are and what we are capable of. We just gotta believe in His promises and in ourselves.

Much love fam!
-Elder O'Hagan

A Long Time Coming

Hello Everyone!

It has been quite some time since I emailed all of you. Sorry about that. So much has happened in the last month and a half! I have been transferred to another village called Iganga and I am training again!. My companions name is Elder Maw from Dayton, Idaho. He is a really cool guy! I realize that I say that about all of my comps, but he is truly amazing and knows what he is doing and why he came here. He has been a source of strength to me these past two weeks. 

This is my second time white wash reopening and training, and it has been and will continue to be a lot of work. However, the Lord has blessed us with three prepared people that have really accepted what we are teaching them! The first one we met, Nina, was taught once before missionaries were taken out a while ago, and she still came to church despite the distance and not being taught! We have met her once officially, and she told us that she really wants to be baptized! So now she is preparing for that in three weeks time.

There is much more to say and little time. I'll send more updates as the time draws closer. I love you all and hope that you have a great week!!

-Elder O'Hagan
