Another Week in Lubango

Hey peeps,

Nothing too special this week. same old same old. Its rained a lot and doesn't look like its gonna stop. But i love the rain so its all good. We have a baptism this Saturday and one planned for later this month. Other than that, nothing really new. So i thought Id share with you guys something that my mission president taught me last time he was down here in Lubango.

He started off by telling us to think of who he was talking about.

This person left Jerusalem with their family

returned in search of the brass plates.

saw an angel.

lived in the wilderness

reached the great waters and built a ship.

and came to the promised land.

Who is it.....

Its Laman. I thought it was nNphi. and Nephi did these things too, but so did Laman. But we know that Laman was a bad person. so what was the difference..... What it came down to was their attitudes. Nephi did all those things with a "I will go and do" attitude, whereas Laman on the other hand did all those things with a "Because I have to" attitude. Its true what they say that "attitude determines altitude". Doing whats right for the wrong reasons doesn't cut it. We have to do it cause we want to. And when we have a positive attitude, our altitude will be a lot higher.

Have a positive attitude and NEVER complain. I love and miss you all.

Love,

Elder Money

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

SLC, UT 12345

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

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.
