Hey Y'all!!!
Its a party out here in Cabo Verde!! And whenever you have a party you always got to bring something. Well, this country decides to be so, so, so, so, so........HOT!!! I walk outside and already break a sweat within the first 5 minutes of walking haha. I am going to go crazy here. And the best part is, cause you always have to have a best part, is that it is only March. Which means it will get WAY WAY WAY Worse But, that's the mission life so I wouldn't trade it for the world cause I am representing the Savior.
So, this week has been pretty good. Got some new investigators, some went to church, had some really good chicken and rice, like every day, and me and my comp are doing great. Zone Conference is tomorrow so that should be fun. I just like it because I get to sit in an air conditioned room for like forever haha. But it will be fun. I'm excited.
My thought this week comes from what I have been studying about obedience. I know right? Like a missionary who needs to study about obedience. But, in reality, we all have something to work on. So, something I have chosen is how can I be more willing to submit my will to the fathers will without holding any part of me from doing his will. And as I have been studying, I found an answer, kinda, in the story of the 2000 stripling warriors, Not only are they wicked good at fighting, they are really willing to do the right thing. And I think that is what we need to do in our lives as well. We, at times, think that the Lord asks to much of us. But when we really understand that this plan and these laws and commandments and rules are to help us Become like Him, will we then obey willingly, withholding nothing from the Lord? I know that I am only 18, and still pretty weird and awkward haha, but I testify that if we do what we are asked, with the knowledge that it will help us become more like Him, willingly, then we will be blessed and receive even more blessings in our lives.
Sorry Nothing cool happened this week. I will need to find some more pig lips or dog fights or something to include in next week. But until then, Thau!
