So, another slower week! Let's just say Cape Verdians love to party!! It's hard to get much work done or appointments set. We did get to see a cool firework show!
We have been working really hard lately and trying very hard to find people who are ready to listen. Efforts have been high and fruits low, but we will not give up!
I want to share a little moment I had this week! Our little group is full of who you could call "outcasts". Not to be rude or mean, but we have some kind of crazy people, beggars, and others of the sort. My companion and I were talking and I just thought, "Why?" Then I remembered the publicans and sinners story. Christ did not come to heal the healthy or to preach repentance to the worthy! As weird or as strange as these people may be, God loves them!! And I have been called to guide them! I felt a huge sense of love for these people after that! They are my happy little strange family, but we are all fighting and trying to make it on the path of righteousness, and I love them! (Note: Todd is in an area that has too few members to be a ward or even a branch, so it's just called a "group".)
Something I have really come to learn on my mission is the worth of souls is great in the eyes of the Lord!! I know this! From the richest to the poorest, from the successful to the addicts, he cares and wants us all to come! There is no need to judge or put down or any of those things.
Thats my Thought for today! :)
Love,
Elder Naylor
