Hey everyone! This week was full of sun and work and it was
AWESOME.
First of all, serving a mission is SO much more fun when you can actually
understand everyone and participate in the jokes. I even have some people
believing I´m from South Brasil now, which is awesome. I am so thankful for the
Lord, there is absolutely no way I´d be doing this well without His help.
The Brasil-Chile game was insane...especially because we have a Chilean
Elder in our district...and he lost...and it was his birthday. Poor guy.
Something cool about living in the Amazon is that whenever you´re hungry,
you just go up to a tree and eat a bunch of fruit...it ROCKS. (No, mom, I don´t
always wash it, and I´m still alive :) )
Our area is enormous...one of the main areas we work takes like 40 minutes
walking to get there. Blah. But we always have a good time. The chaple´s far
away too...but we´re getting lots of exercise. :D
We had about 7 people come to church today. An entire family and 2 others.
It was WONDERFUL. We just gotta get these people MARRIED. It eats up so much
time.
I´ve been reading in Alma, and I´m learning how to be a more effective
missionary because of it. It´s really fun to apply what I learn, and then see
the results.
Alma 24 is really touching. The men burried their swords and knelt down in
front of their killers because they knew it was better to die clean of sin than
to break a covenant with God. We really do need to bury our sins and stand up
for what we know is right in all times, all things, and all places. Don´t have
shame.
Anyway, that´s about it. Hope you are all well...and I hope you enjoy the
fireworks, because I WON´T. Haha.
Tchau, gente!
