Hey everyone! It's been a great week here in Côte d'Ivoire. This week was filled with experiences so here's some highlights:
On Wednesday we had Zone Conference. My favourite takeaway from it was this:
"There are two kinds of pain. The pain of sacrifice and the pain of regret. Which would you rather have?"
Throughout my mission, I've learned a lot about the pain of sacrifice. Its been rough at times to be out here on the other side of the world, speaking a language that I barely knew. But this pain has helped me grow. I am thankful for it as well as for all of the experiences I've had here thus far.
On Thursday, we met with a member who told us an amazing story. Years ago, she was so sick that she was practically paralyzed. After no medical treatments worked, she was determined to make it to the temple to seek her healing there. She made the trip over to Accra, Ghana and, as soon as she came out of the temple, she was healed.
On Thursday night, a crazy thunderstorm hit our area, flooding all of the roads for the rest of the week. It was especially bad on Friday, where we had to hop from rock to rock and climb on the sides of buildings just to get to our appointments. Every day's an adventure out here.
That same day, we also witnessed a live goat sacrifice. It wasn't exactly what we wanted to see but it sure was an experience.
Anyway, Africa is full of a wide, wide range of sights and experiences. I love it here.
Have a good week,
Elder Farr
