The weeks pass by so slow and so fast at the same time! Well, this week was especially crazy because my comp has been having knee problems and a sister in the other dupla (companionship) has been sick a lot this week. So, I’ve gone on a lot of exchanges with different Sisters this week. It’s really great to do exchanges though. I love talking with missionaries! I am so thankful for my health! You don’t know how good you have it until its gone, or until you see someone without it. So, if you can keep my companion in your prayers!
Some good news for the week:
we found THE BEST place with açaí ever! It is so delicious! So now we go there
all the time, it’s great.
We have been talking a lot
with Diéron still, and his family. He is so special, and he has such a strong
desire to get baptized, but the problem is his family. Everyone keeps telling
him that he's too young to get baptized and he doesn’t know what he's doing.
But Diéron is coming to Church with his grandma and he's reading the Book of
Mormon. He really just wants to follow Christ. We are going to talk to his Dad about
it tonight.
(His dad lives in a different house not too far away, but works a lot), and
help him realize that this is a good thing to do.
I am so excited for general
conference this weekend! We have the amazing opportunity to hear from the prophet and
apostles of the Lord! I read some old conference talks this week from April
2011 that were really good. One was 'Waiting on the Road to Damascus" by
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He talked about how sometimes we just wait for a
huge sign from God before doing the things that we are supposed to do. Instead of
moving forward doing the little things, like reading the scriptures, saying
prayers, and going to church, we think that an angel needs to come down and
tell us to do those things. Most of the time our “angels” are the people around
us. The Lord works through other people to answer prayers. Don’t wait to do the
right thing. Just keep moving forward, and the Lord will bless you with what
you need. Good stuff.
Turn to the Lord in all that
you do. Pray always, and be strong.
Love ya,
Sister Berry
