Warriors of Light, Armed with Great Power and Brilliance

 《*Squawk* *Squawk* Feathers!! I repeat! We have taken the objective point, *Squawk* *Squawk* Feathers!! I repeat! We have taken the objective point!》

The daring mission was accomplished. Each of the three chickens stood on the little pile of garbage. The victory was theirs! They awaited back up and started clucking in victory. 

But what's this? The door opens! Who is it?

The missionaries!? 

A white kid from Utah!? Fear fills their little chicken bodies to the overflowing. 

They all start screaming and clucking in absolute chaos!

"*squawk* *squawk* abort mission! *cluck* Our position is compromised! Fall back!"

Like an explosive mushroom cloud of feathers, all the chickens fly into the air to positions of safety from the chicken-eating missionaries.

But... a dangerous situation has arisen. One of these chicken comrades flew straight into bard wire. 

The mundele locks eyes on him. 

His little chicken heart starts firing away like the engine on a "cent-cent"!

Will this be the end of our chicken comrade? Will he be able to escape the hungry grasp of the mundele!? Find out next time on Elder Habel's weekly adventures in the Congo!

Well, I hope you each enjoyed the little story from this week! 

I pray you each had a good week as well where ever you might be!

This week we: 

1) killed the natural men inside us thanks to Elder Ntambwa and his new idea on missionary out-fitting! (Il faut que nous tuions l'homme naturel!)

2) We cut up grass to eat with our favorite knife-wielding mama Élian! In all seriousness one of the nicest ladies I have ever met. Her daughter is going to be baptized next week!

3) were led by the Lord to miraculously meet up with some recent converts! I saw Fr. Mardoché (de Mfilou) while playing spike ball with my fellow Americans. I saw many precious souls from my past adventures in Guynemer which was very touching. 

4) were guided once again by God to discover His children that He has prepared for His Gospel. I love receiving with gratitude the small but abundant confirmations from God which confirm His love in my life.

If I can leave anything as a spiritual thought it would be, just never forget the truth. That really does matter. I testify God is truly our loving Heavenly Father. I testify that Jésus Christ lives and that He is our Elder Brother, Our Light, Our Life, Our Redemption, and Our Savior! Jésus Christ truly did restore the eternal truth of His doctrine and His Church by Joseph Smith the prophet. I know that the Book of Mormon is truly the word of God. I know these things are true by the overwhelming evidence and confirmations of God and of Christ brought to me by the Holy Ghost. I have experienced and felt the truthfulness of all these eternal truths centered on and in the eternal love of our loving Heavenly Father and Jésus Christ!

May we have joy by trusting in Him!

I love you each very dearly. Hold on fast to Him! Remember the bad things in life don't show us there isn't a God but that there is a devil. I testify to you with a profound sincerity that Jésus Christ will help you fight the bad that is in your life and in the lives of others. As we ride into an open battle against satan, armed with the love of Christ as servants of God we need to follow Jésus Christ; our Commander in Chief, in order to succeed. I have felt these feelings of a deep and protective love often as we go out the door to help our friends. We are spreading the truth by love. We are warriors of light, armed with great power and brilliance in a world that has a desperate need to be freed from the choking darkness of the devil. 

So, get out there! Chase away Satan's influence in this wonderful creation! Go be kind! Be patient and loving! Do everything with the love of Christ! Satan fears us greatly when we are built firmly on the rock of Jesus Christ! May we always build upon the rock of Christ!

Avec amour, Elder Habel
