This Week has been awesome!!!!
So many things I want to say and let you see!!! So this week, we visited a mama, one that lived 15 miles away, no joke. We started out at 11h00 and walked there cause to take a taxi all the way is extremely expensive on missionary soutien, so we took camion, whats that called in english.... TRUCK! Wow I forgot that word, well anyways we hitchedhiked on these camions and it took forever and still we had to walk a long ways, so this mama is really nice, very very VERY faithful! Every week on SUNDAY, she gets up at 3,4 in the morning to start the walk to church, every SUNDAY! You know you always here these kinds of stories for people doing incredible things, and it doesnt mean alot until you have literally walked in their shoes! Every Sunday she does this, by herself, her family doesnt support her in this, she makes the long trip there and the long trip back, to worship the True and Living God in THE true church! I did a lot of thinking about this, wondering if I had that kind of faith, I LIVED a three minute walk, and she lives a 3 hour walk. I admire her soo much, she has the sweetest spirit about her, just one of those people who I know will have a place next to our Father in Heaven!!! I was such a wake-up, saying Dan/Elder Lee is true! Just go and do it, everyone else is why not you!
I just finished the most amazing book ever written , close to Our Search for Happiness, but I finished Jesus the Christ! That is a book! Took me forever, but I really enjoyed it, I have gained a deeper appreciation for what Christ accomplished in such a short time, and one thing I really liked was seeing all the faults of the apostles, seeing them struggle with faith and believing and doing things, like Peter, who did things from even denying knowing the Christ and yet, Christ still loved him and respected them, in all their faults, he still had respect and trusted them, gave me a hope that the same can apply to me, in despite of all my faults as a missionary and as a person! Am not perfect, either was Peter, and yet he was a prophet! I LOVED IT!
A lot of things have just made this week a good week, like finding wheat bread, i missed it so much! And I just got back from golfing, yeah I went to a real golf course, and not a bad one by our standards, and golfed with the Senior couple missionaries! So yep I can say I have golfed on another Continent, and Africa for that matter, it was too bad, the clubs were really really short and it was hard to hit the ball right but it was really fun!!!!
So things are going really good here, we will have two baptisms next week so I am really excited for that, so anyways I hope you all have a good festive week and know that I love you and hope that you always remember who you are!!!! Love ya!
Love
