January 30, 2023 Grahamstown

 well it's been another great and majestic time in the land of South Africa. Today the city decided to grace us with a little water which was a blessing. It's like when Moses broke open the rock and water gushed out that's how I feel when I hear the water bubbling out of the facet. It keeps us alive. Barely....

Anyways this wonderful little town is full of Donkeys and Cows. They think they own they road, they all walk and stand in the middle of the road in the middle of this town and no matter how much I want to ram them and make them move I am reminded that the car I'm driving is not mine. Which is frustrating, I mean the thing would learn if you hit it (softly preferably). But the scary thing is those things are protected by quite a few guys with guns. Illegal guns which is the scary part. But each day I find myself wishing for the moment where I will get a chance to get revenge on these animals and eat them. Or at least help them get out of the road. 

Another fun story for the week. My companion loves to do everything his way... and so when we were getting keys (to the church) back to the branch president or the leader of the small congregation he wanted to throw them over this electric and barbed wire fence to land them next to his door. And I'm like "no you do everything" so as he came for me to try and take the keys away I threw them. And to make sure I would land it near the door I threw them hard. And guess what...

...they landed near the door. But on the roof. So we had to hop over this fence and while the security company wad coming because of the alarm we tripped off we got next to their roof and got the keys. It was fun. But ya, make sure you throw keys well.

Anyways make sure you trust in the lord. The lord gives us revelation or guidance through his holy ghost and we are all given guidance. But the real question is will we follow it. As we use our agency (or the ability to choose) to choose God we will be blessed and we will become a better nicer person. It's a simple philosophy. Follow God and he will make you better. Revelation from God is one of the best things for us. And I'm so grateful for it. We get revelation not only through the holy ghost but through scriptures too which is awesome. It's also a great reason to read if you have been slacking off. (You know who you are....) and the final way we receive revelation is through the prophet. It's wonderful to me to know that God has given me so many ways to find him. And as I have come to realize this I have found joy. Be happy ladies and gents. Shoot guns and do a lot of swing dancing. We only live this life once. But live it well and follow God
