During the last week I have been up at Chavuma, which is where Grandpa and Grandma Young are working. Aunt Margie is also working here, and I came up with her and Aunt Janette from Hillwood after the end of my last hunt (which was really short, I will mention that in my next post). I was thankful that I got to spend some time here with them and get to see some of what they do out here! They left a couple of days ago for a Bible translation conference, and so I am spending a couple of more days here with Aunt Margie and Aunt Janette, and then I will go back with Aunt Janette to Hillwood to start my next hunt, and Aunt Janette is starting the next term at Sakeji.
While I have been out here I have realized how few people my age are willing to give their own lives to serve Christ! I don't know if I have met anyone within 5 or 10 years of my age serving here full time! We have lost our purpose here on this earth! Our goal isn't to do better than the guy next to us, it is to sell everything out for Jesus, and give Him every last bit of our existence, no matter what the cost! In fact, the cost will be high, that is a promise from God. Well, I am not content to just be better than the people around me, I want to be sold out with unlimited devotion to my Savior, the One that has set me free from my sins and put me at the right hand of the Father, because if we are not willing to do it who will? We are the body of Christ, that means we are His tools on this earth and if we don't do what needs to be done, then nobody else will!
