Baptism and last week

This week was awesome. We had the baptisms of our friends Larissa and Kael. Transfers also happened and now I am in a trio with Elder Gomes and Elder Sales until I go home next Tuesday. 

This week we had an awesome family night with a family where many are not baptized. Unfortunately they weren't able to come to church this Sunday, but there is hope that they will next week. We also had some people that came to church that we were not expecting to come so that made up for the other family. I also played soccer today for what will probably be the last time in Brazil. 

This week as I have looked back at my mission I have recognized that many of the blessings and miracles that have happened to me are because of obedience and keeping the commandments. Alma 38:1 "My son, give ear to my words, for I say unto you, even as I said unto Helaman, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence." This scripture helps us know that when we keep the commandments we will be blessed and when we don't we will not be able to have the Holy Ghost with us. So please keep the commandments and when you mess up repent so you can have the Holy Ghost with you. If you have any questions or just want to talk you can email me at benson.plaster@missionary.org.

General Conference 🔥🔥🔥

Image
This week was pretty awesome until Elder Winget left today. Not a lot happened outside of General Conference this week.  Transfers are this week so I get to be companions with our zone leader until my new companion arrives on Thursday. We don't get transfer news until tomorrow so I'm a little nervous about that. It should be good though.  I don't have a lot of time this week but I would like to share a quote I liked from conference. "You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can't count the apples that come from a seed." - Elder Cuvelier This means that we don't know how big of an effect we can have on others and on future generations. Keep on doing good and helping those around you. Share your testimony of Jesus with other people and help them see the blessings that comes from following him and his gospel.  Love you all! Have a wonderful week! If you have any questions or just want to talk you can email me at   benson.plaster@missionary.org . Tchau, El...

Last full transfer

Image
This week was pretty tiring. We had a service project this week cleaning the house of someone who was in need. I don't think I have ever seen a house so dirty but it looked a lot better by the time we finished.  We had a p-day today with some other Elders. We played soccer and I'm feeling pretty exhausted but it was super fun. Other than transfers not much happened this week. It is a little crazy to think that this is my last full transfer and then I'll have 2 more weeks before going home.  A scripture that I read this week that is helping me to keep going is in Alma 37:34. "Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find rest to their souls." This scripture has helped me to keep on doing good things even when it's tiring and to try my best to be meek and humble and strive to keep on learning.

Mission Tour

Image
This week was good and tiring. We had the Mission Tour so we traveled to Goiânia and back in one day again. A leader of the church named Elder Eddy visited us. I learned a lot from the Mission Tour and it has made me very excited to continue doing the Lord's work.  I also saw my trainer Elder Marvel for the last time before he goes home. It has almost been a year since I have met him even though I can remember it like it was yesterday. It's kinda sad that so many of my comps have or will go home soon. It just means there are a lot of opportunities to make new friends.  One scripture that Elder Eddy shared with us that I liked is Matthew 28: 19-20. "19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." I love this because it is one of the last things Jesus taugh...
