'I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go!'

Hi Mom, Dad and Jordan,

      Yes, it was good to hear from you guys.  I won’t know if you got the voice message I left on your Skype account but we were in the middle of a powerful electrical/rain storm when the power

cut out and that’s why we lost signal.  It was really incredible.  Just after that we left to drive across town to pick something up from a less active member.  The rain was threatening to turn our car into a boat.  Literally in minutes several places in town flooded with a couple feet of water.  It

was pretty surreal.

      So, the rest of our week was pretty good.  Despite that a lot of people have left town, we have been finding people to teach, especially families.  That family I had mentioned, Mama M’s family, is coming along really well.  They have given themselves to receiving a strong testimony of the restored gospel.  They are very committed to what they have learned to be true, and they are on date to be baptized in late January.  However, we still haven’t met with the father because he has been away for holidays, but will be coming back this week.  We are praying he will see the change and happiness in his family and begin to accept the restored gospel as well.  Pray for him if you will.

      I can feel the time flying.  As far as who to invite for the homecoming, just invite anyone who wishes to attend.  Watch the video "I’ll go where you want me to go,” and apply it to me coming home.  I'll Go Where you Want Me To Go!

Love you all,

       Elder Gold

Editor’s Note:

      Once again Landon has brought light to our world through a skip to his step.  We were thrilled to speak with him on Christmas day through the marvels of modern technology, and see his very pixilated face.  We used an Internet service called Skype and had many problems.  The transmission was rather poor (due to the electrical storm), as we were disconnected many times, but it didn’t lessen the joy of talking with a son who has been gone for so long. 

      We are now down to the countdown in weeks rather than months of when he’ll return home.  The date expected for arrival is February 20^th and we have confirmed his homecoming talk in church to be the following Sunday, on February 23^rd.  All are welcome to come and celebrate his two years of service to the Lord and the African people.
