Eggs Are A Sin: Week 33?

Another week has flown by here in Brazil and let's get into it. And honestly, this was one of the most normal weeks that I've had in a awhile, so this email shouldn't get too long. 


SPIRITUAL THOUGHT


This Saturday, we will have the unique opportunity to do something that only happens twice a year:


Our phophet and his apostles are going to be speaking to us via internet!!


I would just like to testify that just like the Bible had many many prophets, we have a prophet today who guides the church, receives revelation, and literally talks with God. 


Don't miss out on this opportunity to watch our prophet speak and guide us! Here's the link to watch if you are interested:




Saturday: 12pm - 2pm and 4pm - 6pm est


Sunday: 12pm - 2pm and 4pm - 6pm est


HIGHLIGHTS


- in my english class this week, I taught the Brazilians how to say a prayer in English. It was the most wholesome thing ever when one of them ended the class with a prayer.


- sometimes I just don't understand people. We had a lesson with one of our friends this week and it was going so well. He's crying through the whole lesson, telling us that he feels God's love for him super strong, and recounts a dream that he had the night after he went to church. He literally had a dream with his mom (who passed away) dressed in all white, waiting for him, calling him to follow her. It was so amazing! Well... the next day we returned and he laughed through the entire lesson and told us that he doesn't want to come to church anymore. I swear the devil got a hole of him or something. 


- for a little less that $4, I bought a gourmet burger, fries, and milkshake. I love brazil!


- we had a lesson this week where we taught this 10 year old the commandments. We start talking about the word of wisdom (comandment about five things we shouldn't consume). Well, he added a sixth. Eggs are offically against the word of wisdom. Gabriel doesn't like eggs. 


- saw some really cool miracles this week. I had learned on the mission, when we have faith to perservere through the hard time, God will always create a path for us to accomplish whatever thing that we wanted to do. On Saturday, nearly all of our appointments feel through by 3pm. I was so close to just giving up and going to an activity at the church. But we stayed strong, perservered, and God placed some outstanding friends in our path!


- we went to a family history activity in our ward yesterday and I spent 20 minutes trying to find Adam and Eve on my family tree. Had no success, but if anyone has any tips, I'm here for them. 


That's it for this week! Love you all!

Okay yeah, so there really is opposition in all things. This week, Satan was working hard against our friends and even our members. Not gonna lie, I was losing a ton of faith. But in the end, we stomped on his face and baptized some of our friends! First things first, these Brazilians are convinced that rain brings all sorts of sicknesses and diseases, and they will never walk in the rain. So when it rained Sunday morning, like no one showed up to church. The attendence took a hit, and we had a family of investigators who turned around and walked home when it started raining. Please pray that the sun comes out next Sunday.  We had a couple of baptismal dates fall through this week, because of all sorts of things. One of our members told something to another family of investigators, and now the mom doesn't want to talk to us anymore. I don't even know what to do anymore.  Another one of our baptisms fell through this Saturday, because it turns out that this lady was already bap...

Getting On The Road Soon (Happy Easter)

What is up everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week and a happy Easter! I literally love this holiday, and as a missionary, it's even better! It literally emcompasses everything that we teach as missionaries: the Good News. Quick thought Elder Holland talks about this "good news". He says, "The word gospel as we use it in English comes down to us through early scriptural language which meant literally “good news” or sometimes “glad tidings.” The “good news” was that death and hell could be escaped, that mistakes and sins could be overcome, that there was hope, that there was help, that the insoluble was solved, that the enemy had been conquered. The good news was that everyone’s tomb could one day be empty, that everyone’s soul could again be pure, that every child of God could again return to the Father who gave them life." When Jesus Christ broke the chains of death, raised himself from the dead, and was ressurected, he made this good news possible and pr...
