This is for two weeks!
OI Meus Queridos!
Haha well this week was really awesome just like all the
weeks in the mission! We had exchanges with the zone leaders and I absolutely
adore these guys! They are like little kids in these giant hulking bodies. They
look like their 25 but, act like they´re 10. They are also absolutely AMAZING
missionaries. I really learned how to help a person accept being baptized
without even talking about baptism ;).
A little more about my area. So, in
Barcarena, they have these guys that are paid to drive around with giant
stereos blasting just the most RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING music. And its in
Portuguese so I don't understand it. I am speaking a lot of
Portuguese but I have opportunities to speak English.
We are watching the best two years
today! taking a break and relaxing. I love Elder Belo - my trainer - he helps me a lot.
I have only a
little bit of time! Happy Easter! General Conference is awesome and excited to hopefully
understand a little! Next week send me your favorite conference talk! We bought more time so I will talk about our service project this week! We went to the
field of one of our investigators who is just begging to be baptized. Our
service project is digging up stumps. My thoughts were, "I have an axe and a
machete, how could my day get better!". Other than the overwhelming
scorching heat, I was able to get in a couple of batting practice swings. If
the Brazilian baseball team needs me, I'm ready!
I just want to testify about
heartfelt prayer! This week was especially rough! But I realized the problem
was part of our lack of faith. Not that we didn't hope for new investigators or
working for new investigators, but we weren't PLANNING for new investigators!
Pray truly about what you need to do and after you receive this revelation,
write down your game plan! It truly works! We are receiving more and more
investigators ready to act on the word not just receive it. Every person here
has a church. And every church believes their pastor is a prophet, so we have
changed our contacts to talk about what a prophet is! I love it! I love
Thomas S. Monson and I know that we have 15 men who lead the church! The Book of
Mormon is true!
Love you all!
