Dear Family,
I hope you all had a great Conference
weekend. Here in Brazil all the members and we were very excited. My companion
and I made invitations and invited everyone in the streets! The words of the
leaders of the church are so inspiring and really bring back that fire that we
as missionaries and member need! I am so grateful for the Prophet and the
leaders of our true church. They alone are a witness of the restoration of the
true and eternal gospel.
This week was a pretty good week. The
work is slowly improving by means of our efforts and the help of a few members.
We have a long way to go though. We were able to teach a few good lessons that
turned out to be very spiritual. We have about 5 investigators that seem they
could progress, but the rest are a little light.
It is hard going from an area so strong
where we could teach all day long and receive a ton of success and spiritual
promptings to an area where we spend the whole day walking and looking for new
people to teach. It is rough, but makes part of the mission and challenge. The
Lord has something great for me here and I want to find what it is!
The highlight of the week was
watching General Conference! So after using the whole week inviting everyone we
could we ended up having not one investigator show up.... ha-ha. But we did
have a less active lady named Vilma come, which made us very happy. So usually
when we Americans watch conference we can watch it in English, so after helping
the bishop here set up the projector, satellite and audio I set up a room, with
a TV for us Americans to watch it in English. Well after the first talk on Saturday
we received a message from President Parrela saying all Americans will watch GC
in Portuguese this weekend! So this kind of upset us Americans, but it turned
out all right watching it all in Portuguese. I just feel bad for the 2 sister
missionaries that arrived here 3 weeks ago and can´t understand much yet. But I
think it turned out all right.
My favorite talks were from
Christofferson, Uchtdorf, Monson, Holland, Scott and the talk from Bednar was
super good too! I seriously loved Conference!
Also, Presidente didn´t let us watch
the priesthood session. So you guys will have to let me know how it went.
Mom, so my new companion is from São
Paulo and has 1 year and 6 months on the mission. He talks a lot of slang and
it is pretty funny at times. We are getting along well and want to improve the
work here. To be honest I don’t know too many of the members yet. Mainly the
bishop and ward mission leader. They are both awesome. The bishop got us a new
investigator Saturday night and the lesson went super good with him!
Dad, it’s sad to hear about the Cougars.
About school, I think I will study at Dixie for a bit and then move to the U
after…Don’t know for sure yet though. Estou falando com algumas moças, mas nada
serio pai. :) The football season sounds crazy!!
I love you guys!! : )
