Well Hi!
This week has been pretty exciting! It goes by so fast and
so slow at the same time. I can't even remember what happened this week. Well,
first it’s been a bit hotter this week. Perfect weather to sit in the shade and
soak up the day. It’s just that as a missionary we walk in the sun so it’s been
hot, but it’s been good. Really it’s just been that sticky kind of humid that
you can feel in the air. So that was fun for my life.
A great thing that
happened this week was our interviews with President Silcox. It was just an
opportunity for him to talk to us individually and get to know us. He told me
something awesome that I really loved. He said as a Stake President he
'disobligated' (is that a word? Well it’s the word they use in Portuguese so it
should make a little sense) almost 500 missionaries that completed their
missions. And something that he told every one of them was that God never
forgets the work that we do here. He will always remember and bless us for
dedicating 18 months or 2 years of our lives to His work. That was something
that I really needed to hear this week and remember.
Like the subject line says, we have been working and walking
até o pó-- which means 'a whole lot' if I haven’t explained that before. It’s
been hard to find people at home or people that are willing to listen to us. I
have really needed diligence this week. I just want to be more like Jesus. I
want to be kind, loving, hardworking, patient, and obedient. And day by day I
have been getting better and better. Beth thank you so much for the letter with
the picture of Jesus pondering. It has reminded me what I am here to do. I am
here to help other people find happiness and joy in the true and restored
gospel of Jesus Christ. I will work hard until the very end. :
Thanks for listening!
Until next week
