Finding the one...

 Remember the Worth of Souls is Great in The Sight of God...D&C 18:10







 We needed to find some families.  There are no addresses on this island. We've only met three people who use their given names.  The names on the records do not match the nicknames that they are known by!  We had been going door to door all morning when along comes a young man who just got baptized 2 weeks ago..."I know where the members live" and he worked with us all afternoon.  I let him hold my clipboard since he was our official 'helper' for the day!  (...and noticed that he waved to all his friends while holding up the official clipboard and pen!)

I do not believe in 'coincidences' anymore.

        


We are blessed to be here serving in Cabo Verde and are loving our mission! There are many highlight days on a Mission...but  Missionary work...is Missionary... WORK.  I have to smile sometimes as we take our shoes off at night. Under the topic of shoes, the handbook says:  "Keep them clean and polished".  Sometimes we are so tired at the end of a day that they have to wait to shine again when the sun does! ;)

Every time you post I think, "This is my favorite so far".

I Love this one! My new favorite!! ;).
Those pathways are crazy! I can see why your shoes get so dusty! I LOVE the last line! Kind of like making a bed, it doesn't make since since you'll be sleeping in it again, but it sure makes it look nice for a while!! ;). I love you!
