Alma 42:31 And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. And may God grant unto you even according to my words. Amen.

Family,
Let me just tell you the most amazing thing in the
world. When we were going to Bo a few weeks ago we were talking
to president Roggia about meeting the apostles and how it is and stuff
and he asked me if i could meet any of them who would I choose. I
said that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland for sure. He said well Elder if
you stay faithful and obedient I promise you that you will one day
meet him. Righteous desires are given to us by faith and also with
our prayers. Well, on friday President Roggia called and said I
have been thinking about what you have been saying about having faith
that Elder Holland will come ( we had previously been making a joke
about where we would possibly house him if he came and how there is a
very slim chance that he would actually be able to come, it is pretty
primitive here). Well, he said elder I want you and Elder Priddis to
call the zones and tell them to prepare to receive Elder Holland into
this mission for a visit in February!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't even sleep
that night just tossing and turning. Elder Holland is coming to
Sierra Leone and also Elder Snow and his wife. I can't think of anyone
in the world apart from the prophet himself, I would rather meet and even just
shake his hand!! Oh, I am so happy and excited. How cool is that
though?
I got my drivers license this week and have been driving it's pretty
crazy but a lot of fun and pretty much I am loving my mission more
than I ever thought you could love something. Having the time of my
life and trying each day to become more like my savior Jesus Christ.
What could be better! have a great week, I love you all so much,
thank you for the package and the support I miss you all!
love your son,
Elder Wood
