But this week was INSANE hahaha the work isn't just coming along its running full speed ahead. This week we hit an all time high of people that we need to teach, 35.... yeah 35 people to contact teach lessons and help them come closer to Christ. It's been entertaining haha. But we really have seen the hand of the Lord in all phases of our work here.
Everything else besides that has been normal, more rain, more flooding and then on our way home doing our best impression of Par core (yeah please don't check my spelling because I have forgotten how to write 95% of all words in inglish) we just happened to both loose our balance and slam into a wall made of sheet metal, no big deal right? nothing broke no one was hurt but wait.... Someone had thrown a bunch of grease on their wall. Why? don't ask me but what happened is we ended up a lot darker skinned than we were before.
But this week I want to talk about the the little things. Something that I have come to understand here is that the big crazy blessing that we are looking for will usually come when we stop looking for them. When we focus more on what we can give than what we will get we truly become qualified to receive these things that we are asking for. Here on the mission i've found that as I get lost in the work, in the joys, sorrows and love that I feel when I work with this people I start to really see God and the way he is working here in Mozambique. It's been an experience for a life time and thankfully it's not even close to being over;) still have 2 years left in my mind.
Love the work, Love the Church and I want y'all to know that I am who I am but im not yet who I will be and that is thanks to who Christ is and what he has done for me.
Love yall
Elder Thornton
