It's Easy to Love

Whitney showed this to me the other day.
"It is easy to love the people of Africa," - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
It really is true.  It is honestly super easy to love the people of Africa.  I fell in love with the people the first day I arrived in Uganda.  They are amazing individuals. :)
The people are also very open and accepting of the gospel.  We have been able to see this first hand with some of our friends - Eric, Joseph, Eddy and Isaac.

Watch the video, read the article.  It's definitely worth the 10-15 minutes it takes. :)
Quote of the Day!
"That is my love for the Africans - it is their uncompromised joy in the gospel.  Most have had so little in their lives of material goods, but when they got the gospel, they just embraced it hook, line, and sinker.  And they still do.  They are doing it to this day." - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
