Families and Testimonies

So another week!

This week was pretty good. Nothing too special. I love my area. There are a lot of awesome people in our branch. Two missionaries from Angola are leaving this week. one of them is going to Ghana and the other is going to Portugal!

This week we had a baptism. His name is Itanilson. Hes an awesome kid. Super smart. Hes neighbors with one of the families in our branch. So hes got an awesome support group and will be an awesome member of the church. We have a family night at their house tomorrow night. They're awesome. They're all members. Its cool to see how the church grows. There's this family's house and about 3 other houses around it who are all LDS. they're an awesome family and are always doing missionary work.

One thing Ive been thinking a lot about this week is my testimony and families... My Testimony has grown soooo much on my mission! Theres a scripture in 2 Nephi 5:27 that talks about living happily. Its a simple scripture and one of my favorites. Its when the Nephites separated from the Lamanites and are obeying the commandments and are living happily. This is a huge part of my testimony. I Am grateful for the gospel because it gives me hope. Because of the Gospel I know that I can live with my family forever. I know that we are blessed with happiness when we live and obey the Gospel. We will live, like the Nephites, after the manner of happiness. The Gospel Blesses Families!

Love,

Elder Money

Elder Money's Address

To send a letter use the following address:

Elder Money
Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
Caixa Postal 18404
Luanda, Angola
　
If you want to send a package via the US Post Office please follow these instructions exactly:

If the package weighs less than 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.) it should arrive at the Post Office where we have a post office box with no problems.

If the package is over 2.2 lbs it must be sent "EXPRESS" so that it will be delivered to our Post Office. If you send the package ordinary mail or priority post, it will not be delivered to our Post Office and we will be unable to retrieve it.

If you send a package, please DO NOT put the missionary’s name in the address. This will make it very difficult for us to claim the package unless the recipient missionary actually goes to the Post Office. PLEASE NOTE: If you are sending a package, put the missionary’s name at the beginning of the return address. Then we will know who it is for. For example, the package should be addressed as follows:

Elder Money
Smith Family
123 Elm Street
SLC, UT 12345

Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos S.U.D.
Caixa Postal 18404
Luanda, Angola

The customs officers will often insist on us providing receipts to prove the value of the goods being received. It would be a good idea to leave your receipts in the package.
