i woke up today singing we thank thee oh God for a prophet! I am so grateful taht we have a prophet on the earth in these latter-days to guide us. I know that this comes from our loving Heavenly father who wants each of His children to return to live with Him!
Thank you so much for sending the letter from Jacob! i can´t even imagine what he is experiencing!!!!
Sounds like the treck was an amazign experience for all of you. thank you for sharing your testimonies with me. I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost who confirms truths in our minds and in our hearts.
The Holy Ghost is the teacher, we are just the mouthpiece.
We worked a lot with Conceição this week, and at the end, she decided that she
didn´t want to be baptized. Well, she had some encounters with people who said stuff contra the igreja and also found stuff on the internet... she just needs more time, but tudo vai dar certo. Only God knows the end of every story.
This week, we had interviews with President Torgan, and i was so grateful to talk with him. he gave me really good advice about the two most important hours of every day. Estudos(study) and oração (prayer). Prayer is really a conversation with our Pai que habita no ceu, and He really wants to communicate with us, we have to do our part and open up to him and share with him and also be ready to do the things He whispers for us to do. And study is really the timeto search for the answers to our prayers. I gave a talk on suday after interviews and as i was speaking an experience came to my mind about when we received the news that Bishop Leavitt and cancer. I remember that dad pulled us all together and we said a prayer together, and dad asked Heavenly father that the will of God would be done. from then on, every prayer taht was said was "let thy will be done" the same thing with clarissa. Everything is in the Hands of God. He knows all things, and we as His children are here to seek and do His will, trusting with faith that He knows all things.
Thank you dad for your example!
This week we also finally met with this man named Nuno. He stopped us pn the street about two weeks ago and said he wanted one of our bibles. Irmã young kept reminding me that we needed to go there and send it to him, finally we did. he is searchig for the truth. he came to church and really enjoyed his experience. we had a lesson with him and Mariana, a member who helps us sooo much! it was so awesome! it turns out that Nuno is the cousin of Patrick, the guy from France!!
The work keeps moving forward here! There are miracles happening every day. I am really working now on coming closer to Christ so that I can invite others to come unto Him as well. thank you dad for your comments on being prepared.
i feel like my whole mission i have been trying to prepare, but i think i have been just looking in all the wrong places. The language will come with practice. the teaching skills come now with practice.
Thank you for your love and support!
have a great day!!

personal question for dad and mom: when i am already in the middle of my mission what can i do to be a better prepared missionary so that i can be a better instrument in the hads of God. i know that feeling weak is important to help us be humble. How can i be humble in the right way, and use the talents and abilities that God has given me for good?
