Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm sure you all have so many other better things to do today, so I'll keep this email nice and short. 


It's my last Christmas in Brasil and my last Christmas as a representative of Jesus Christ. I know that Christ lives! He was born in Bethlehem and gave his life as the greatest gift of all. His love is encompassing. His spirit is influencing. And His Atonement is infinate! 


My love for Jesus Christ has grown so much this week leading up to Christmas, and I am so grateful for the priveldge that I had to share Christ's love, spirit, and atoning sacrifrice with so many of God's children this past week! 


This week, the staff and I had the opportunity to make cookies for those in need, sing karols, and dress up as santa and spread the holiday cheer (and gospel). We were also beyond blessed to received gifts from our ward! I seriously love all of the member here!


So many other cool things and miracles happened this week, but I'll keep this email straight to the point. Christ lives and loves us! Please look for ways to share His love, truth, and light this holiday season! I love you all, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas!!

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...
