Worms 🪱

This week was okay. We started with zone conference and it was pretty spiritual. Unfortunately, President Faria didn't have time to do our interviews, so I didn't really get to talk to him. 

Afterwards we came back to Araxá and got back to work. Sadly, it was a little rough, but I found out why I've been sick for the past few weeks. I probably got some sort of worms in my stomach or intestines. I already took some medicine to get rid of them and I'm feeling better so hopefully they don't come back. 

Our friend Lidiane has also been preparing to be baptized recently and we have been seeing many miracles happen recently so hopefully before I leave this area she will be baptized. 

Today I want to share a scripture that I like. Its in Alma 5 : 46. "Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me." I love this scripture, because it explains how we can continue growing closer to God and gain more knowledge. When we pray and fast we will learn things through the Holy Ghost. I hope you all are doing well. If you have any questions or just want to talk you can email me at benson.plaster@missionary.org.

Tchau,

Crazy week

This week was very different. We had exchanges and this drunk guy tried to argue with us about the story of Adam and Eve.  I got to say goodbye to my companion at the bus station as he returns home on Wednesday. Now I get to stay with the Zone Leaders, for the next 4 days, in a house with 5 missionaries and 1 bathroom.  Transfers are a little different with our new mission president and I won't know what's going to happen until early tomorrow morning. We also got to go to a party where there was lots of food and had a table to share Book of Mormons and other pamphlets about the church.  Always remember that God loves you and He is there to help you through all of your difficulties. All you have to do is get on your knees and pray to Him and ask for help.  I love you guys! Hope you're all doing fantastic!

Miracles

Image
This week was amazing but also really crazy. I saw many miracles this week.  The first one was I found Peanut Butter when I was with the Zone Leaders. I have eaten many PB and J sandwiches the past few days. I also decided to make a sandwich with pancakes and that was also super good.  The second miracle was that Elder Aviz, my new companion, arrived in Uberlândia. His bus never showed up but they got him on the last bus that came to Uberlândia so he didn't have to sleep at the bus station. He only had to wait 5 or 6 hours at the bus station. Luckily I woke up at 2 am when they called so we could pick them up from the bus station.  The third miracle is that someone who talked to the missionaries a while ago decided to show up to church and has a lot of interest in returning more times. We were kinda afraid that nobody was going to come to church even though multiple people said they would, so it was amazing when he showed up and we weren't even expecting him.  The fo...

Bowling and Futebol

This week was pretty chill, nothing crazy happened. Portuguese is getting easier and I don't have think as hard to understand people. When my comp wants to practice his English with me at night sometimes I get a headache from it, but I know I still need to help him because he helps me with Portuguese during the rest of the day.  I got to play some soccer with some kids in the street the other day and that was fun. Then today I got to go to the bowling alley with my zone for p-day. I didn't realize how much different it would be. All of the bowling pins were connected to strings to stand then up after they got knocked over. It was a pretty cool experience.  My spiritual thought for this week is in the Bible. Matthew 11: 28-30 " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."  I re...
