Challenge and Reward

 

 

This week was...

so

amazingly 

challenging and yet awarding! 

Why you might ask? 

Challenging? Because our neighbors have been mourning the loss of their loved ones by blasting crazy boonie music starting from 10 pm just till 5:30 in the morning! 

Awarding? Because the children of Sr. Corinne (Sr. Brellvie, Sr. Laurelle and Fr. Messi), Sr. Dieuveil, Sr. Nzounzi, Sr. Céleste, and Sr. Mariana are all ready for their baptism this next Saturday! 

We had baptismal interviews with Elder Neilsen out in the boonies, we ate curry with them, we were able to go and help at the wedding of Fr. Juste in our ward, and...(big breath) we were able to have a stellar activity out in Kintelé with our zone! We played basketball and were able to explore the stadium that's straight out of "I am Legend"!  All in all the lesson I learned this week is, the Lord is with us in our afflictions. The grace of His infinitely loving Atonement for our sins and suffering is real! We must always keep up the shield of our faith in Jesus Christ so we "protect ourselves from the dragon's fire" and temptation! Truly the Spirit will "fight with us" as we exercise our faith in Christ the Lord! He is the Healer and the Deliver! May we always call on His protection in times of need!

I hope you each have a fantastic week and come unto Christ by having faith, hope, and charity in Him! 

Love, Elder Habel
