We just finished week 4 up here in Kpalime, and it was good. It wasn't really an exciting week, I can't really think of much of what happened, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm having a blast up here. I don't know what it is about being up here, but I love it! I'm so happy to be up here, I love the guys that I'm with right now and just love the atmosphere. I'm really hoping that I'll stick around this sector for a while.
This week was probably the best week we've had in terms of our amis progressing. We just had good lessons where we feel like they were really interested and really understood what we were trying to say. And I feel like we've just been following the spirit well, doing different things because we feel like the spirit is pushing us to. The spirit's really been pushing me to just testify a bunch this week, which I love. When I testify, I know I'm doing my job. At that point I've presented my message and they know what I believe. And then it's up to them to decide to follow us or not. But I know that I've done my job and what God wants me to do.
This week I was reading in Romans and I found a scripture I really liked. It's Romans 12:21, "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." It's a really simple scripture. We need to overcome evil. But it's not just avoid evil or don't take part in evil, it's overcome evil. And how can we do that? We have to do good. It can seem kind of obvious, but it's actually a problem today. There's too much that we can do today that's not good, it's just neutral. Playing on our phone, watching tv and stuff like that. So we need to make sure that we make time for things that are actually good in our life, because if we don't, we're letting evil stay. But if we do good in our life, we'll be overcoming evil at the same time.
I love you all have a good week!
