The First Vision
This week was super fun. It started out with divisions on Tuesday. I went with Elder Rodrigues. He is an awesome missionary. He has only been out in the field for a few weeks so I got to lead him around our area. Luckily, he is Brazilian, so we weren't completely lost as far as the language goes. He also helped encourage me with Portuguese and was impressed with how much I could talk with him for how little time I have been learning. We walked about 13 miles and were exhausted by the end of the day.
On Wednesday we played soccer with some of the youth in our ward and I realized how long it has been since I have played soccer. I wasn't completely terrible but most of the Brazilians were better than me. One day we were walking home this week and we found these huge spiders on a cactus. The biggest one was probably about the size of my palm.
On Saturday we helped with an activity for the little kids in our ward. They were setting goals for this year and learning about how the church was restored to the earth. This is something we teach very often as missionaries because of its importance. They had an awesome scene of the First Vision, or when Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ for the first time. When this happened, Joseph learned that the true church did not exist on the earth, and he needed to restore the church of Jesus Christ. I encourage you all to learn more about the first vision and pray about it because as I have studied it on my mission, I have felt the realness and trueness of that event. I love you all.
