21st Birthday

Well Finally 21!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! It truly was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. Also Shout out to my COUGS on beating Texas, again! ;)

This week, Id like to talk about the blessings of living the Gospel. We sing a song that poses the question ''Who's on the Lord's side? Who?'' One thing I have learned on the mish is that the Lord protects those who are on his side, given they are worthy of his protection. With that said, If we want the Lord's protection and the blessings of the Gospel, we have to be worthy of that. Sometimes Ill stop and look around where we are and it amazes me. In the middle of the bairro, late at night, and 10 times out of 10, we're the only white guys there haha. But what amazes me is that we never feel afraid. I have learned to put my trust in the Lord. I wouldn't dare enter in 90 percent of the places we go if i wasn't a missionary. But I know that as long as I am doing what I'm suppose to, I will be protected, because I am on the Lords side.

I have also developed a Love for the scriptures. I love finding little flecks of gold in the scripts. I know that this is the Lord's church. I hope you all are doing what you need to to receive of these blessings. I cant imagine living my life without the blessings of the Gospel. Love you all. Thanks for all the support!

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.
