Still Building...

Bright future for Sao Nicalau

This week was good! A lot of things have been going well! We have been doing a lot of street contacts, and we have a few people who could prove to be very good investigators!

Today we have interviews with President. That should be really good! I am excited to ask a few questions and get some help with my area! 

One highlight of this week is:  I got yelled at by a guy from Holland that thinks we are here just trying to steal money from these people. He said how we are part of a pyramid scheme, and that we are being lied to. Oddly enough, I didn't get too mad, but I just felt sorry for how misinformed he is and what he is missing out on. I have plans to drop a Book of Mormon off at his house with a few pamphlets. I hope that he might learn. 

I have been reading in the D&C (Doctrine and Covenants) lately. This week the scripture that rang true to me was D&C 41:5. It says if we know what to do and do it, we are His disciples. If we don't, we are not. Here in Cape Verde we find a lot of people who "know" what to do, but will not do it. As it says in D&C 29:45 "They love the dark more than the light." I am not sure who it was, but someone important said "If they are not keeping the commandments, it's because they believe they have more to gain by not keeping them than by keeping them." 

That's really what we have been running into lately. There are people that love our message and what we do, and even some that know we have the truth, but they will still not follow. 

I am hoping that next week I can send more information about people progressing. :) 

Love,
