The sacrament meeting talks today were very inspiring. Brother Khyndile spoke about the importance of using our time wisely. He said, " it is easy to be on the bottom, to do nothing. Perhaps we stop progressing because it becomes painful or too hard. Facing our faults, letting go of pride, is not easy. Don't run away from your pain, embrace it, it means you are moving forward." Serving a mission as a senior couple has not always been easy. We are learning and growing and discovering things about ourselves just like the young missionaries. Some days it is painful, hard, unproductive. I hope and pray I can learn new things and use them to better myself, and help other people. Helaman reminds us we are free to choose to sit and do nothing or use this gift of life for good. 30; "And now remember, remember, my brethren, that whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; and whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; for behold, ye are free ye are permitted to act for yourselves, for behold God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free." 31; "He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you, or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you."
We are so happy to be here serving a mission in South Africa. It is a beautiful country with wonderful members who serve the Lord with all their heart, might, mind and strength.
