Zone conference and surprise party

This week was pretty good. The members had a surprise birthday party for Elder Cunha so I had the job of getting him to the chapel without raising suspicion. He tried to go to the chapel a little early so I had to do my best to convince him that we couldn't go early. In the end it worked out. 

We had Zone conference this week and we learned about the sense of urgency we should have to help people to be saved and baptized. 

This is the scripture I want to share this week. Mosiah 1:7 "And now, my sons, I would that ye should remember to search them diligently, that ye may profit thereby; and I would that ye should keep the commandments of God, that ye may prosper in the land according to the promises which the Lord made unto our fathers." This scripture really shows the importance of keeping the commandments and covenants that we make because through them we are blessed and will prosper.

Tchau,

Crazy week

Image
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...

Transfers???

Image
This week was pretty good. We've been preparing for the next transfer and trying to find people who want to meet with us more than one time. Our friend who has been progressing the most told us he is trying to move so we are hoping and praying that he ends up staying in the area.  I can't remember of anything special that happened this week. I'm feeling a lot better and not as sick anymore. We should be getting transfer news tomorrow which is nerve racking because I have no idea what is going to happen. This week we faced a lot of rejection and we got a little frustrated.  My spiritual thought to you guys is to keep on going. Even though we will experience hard times and people will reject us we need to keep on loving them. Jesus was rejected and suffered way worse than we will in this life. We can always look towards Him and ask for help to love others and continue on doing the right things like He did.  Hope you all are having a great summer! Love you all! If you have a...
