Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality" (President Hinckley)
Our work here in Cape Verde is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with families. Each day we meet remarkable people. We love this work!
This week we begin teaching a success class for those who do not have money for schooling. What a marvelous blessing the Church is giving to so many young people with the Perpetual Education Fund! Students take the class that teaches about work, self-reliance, commitment, and follow-through. Those who need money for school are blessed with a loan which they will pay back (sometimes at $5 a month following their graduation) to bless other lives. Schooling enables them to get a job and earn money and feel confident as they bless their families and communities. What a marvelous work to love and to lift! They go to technical schools, learn about computers, refridgeration, painting homes, driving taxis, repairing machines, teaching school, some take medical training, others finance...whatever they choose. They learn leadership skills and serve in their communty. We are learning so much...
