Elder Nic Goldsberry: First E-Mail of 2018

2018, the only full calendar year I will dedicate completely to the Lord. I'm going to make the most out of it! Our mission goal for 2018 is 700 baptisms, 2017 it was 617 and we didn't quite reach it so I'm really happy it went up. Some may think we should've lowered it but with a higher goal we show our faith, and as exercise our faith I know we can do it!

Sorry I didn't email on Christmas, I hope you all enjoyed it! I know I did! We had breakfast as a zone, then we had our skype call and spent the rest of the day at Brother C's (the gunsmith). It was a great and relaxing day!

Last night for New Years we had to come in an hour earlier than usual so Elder M. and I had a fire in the wood burning stove in our apartment and made smores! That was very fun!

We spent some time with our zone leaders, Elders Burton and Menezes, and split knocked with them and they spent the night at our house. They really great missionaries and Elder Burton and I get along really well. He is very knowledgeable in the gospel and he has a book called "The Plates of Bash" that he constructed. It essentially has information on everything that people "bash" us on. It's really cool and big.

I love you all and make 2018 an amazing year!!!
