Hello from South Africa. It must be a long long time since you have heard from me. From what I understand everything is going well here in South Africa. I've decided not to ride any more donkeys or cows. First of all they are dirty, secondly they kick.... And mother cows are not afraid to chase you with their horns. Yes it's tough here in Africa, sadly the animals roaming the streets are able to prevent unwanted people from riding them. Now i'm just thinking about how I can become wanted... The donkeys did accept my bananas, peal and all. So there is a start.
But being honest I have enjoyed my mission immensely. It will be nice to go home and see my family again. I arrive home in about 12 days which I am super excited for. But enough about me.
Ladies and Gentlemen, mission is a life changing experience. I would recommend it for anyone, not only do you get to go somewhere cool and meet all sorts of amazing people, you also get to learn so much about personal resistance, love, and joy amongst all the challenges and experiences of this work. From a spiritual side, it will deepen your testimony in service and in love. It will prepare you to be a bishop, branch president or any other calling in the church. The love you will develop in your service will allow you to better love everyone, your family included.
Two years is a long time, but these two years will be the BEST two years for your life. I 100% recommend it.
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
