Conner sounded upbeat and happy. He said he was not homesick which we were thrilled to hear. We all missed him as we celebrated Christmas. Conner has such a big presence and has a contagious laugh. However, we are thrilled to know he is happy and well in Ghana doing that which he has always wanted to do!

So this week we had transfers and Elder Matakaiongo went to Akatsi in Volts region. I miss him but I have another good companion named Elder Lyamu (sounds like EE Yah moo). He is from Nigeria. He has been out on his mission for almost a year and a half. I am guaranteed to leave Afienya in the beginning of February. Anyways, life is good here in Africa. The work has been slow with Elder Matakaiongo leaving, but hopefully it will pick up soon. I am not really sure how Christmas will be like here. I imagine that there will be a lot of loud music and dancing tomorrow. I will let you know what it is like here next week. To me it is hard to wrap my head around that it is actually Christmas. It just feels like it has been just one long summer here. It does not feel cold enough to be Christmas. For the month of December we have been reading a chapter of the Gospel of Luke everyday. Jesus Christ’s life, ministry, and Atonement is absolutely beyond description. What he did for us is unimaginable and truly life saving. I hope this Christmas is a very merry Christmas for all of you.
Elder Garrison
