Romans 12:11—
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
This should be our joy; to serve the Lord. Since I’ve been here I’ve learned a lot about serving in a quick, and thorough way. I’ve learned to “do all things unto the Lord.” This would be a good verse to have in my memory because I’m sure I’ll be asked to do many jobs that I don’t want to do while on the mission field, and I’ll have to remember to take myself out of it and do it with zeal. Do it for the Lord.

I love the line "I'll have to take myself out of it"...sometimes it's hard to know how to practically "serve with joy", or how to make that happen in my life. But this is pretty much the essence of it, I think - take myself out of it!! Thanks, Olivia. :)
