OMG i am tired. Nossa vc é doido! Stayed up talkin till like 3
last night then went to play soccer from 7 until noon....i just wanna
pass out, but first, i halfta tell ya about my awesome week
How about you guys are aproveiting your summer?
This week was Show de Bola as we say here. Absultley rockin.
Lets start from were we last left off, o yeah TONS OF RAIN!!! and tons
of meeting with the ward and structurizing, e feel at some times almost
oblidaged to remind my comp that he doesn´t make part of the bispado
after all the meeting we attend to get things off the ground here . But i
gotta admit I love it!
So getting back to the rain, it was rather hard to work occasionally through out the week, but nothing, NOTHING was harder than
getting ppl to churh when we found out that it had flooded over em baixo completely and that you had to take a canoe across just to cross from
one end of the anveneu to the other. In fact church was actually
canceled and those that went were combined with the othe ward. (total
of 23 members from our ward) Well i can´t say the canoe ride wasn´t fun
but the absence of investigators was a little depressing. Zeroing in
the chapel is one thing i refuse to do ever! And that's when it
happened. A girl we[ve been teaching (nise of a member) showed up with
her aunt. I later found out that they hadn´t had money to cross by
canoe (one real) and had given a walk all the way around to the middle
of nowhere and back just to get to church. She truly new the
importance of her baptism that we had marked for that same day after
church. It was combined with a ward baptism (the ward didn´t actualy
know that ward baptized existed, but had thought it was all mission
baptisms, lol) which we´d conveniently kind of planned anyways.
So that was that, then yesterday Pres Elis was here from the area
authority and gave our conf. POWER!!! There were some points that i
wish he´d amplified mais but of course then again who am i to correct
him, lol. He talked alot about how the system woks, our connection with
Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit. At one point he looked at me
and ask where i was working, ´Mirante´´ and how´s mirante elder.
´´Its the best area im the mission sir´i said. He then tirou uma
onda com Beynon and asked him why he´d given me the best area. It was
pretty funny but the important part was then how he worked it into the
fact that the Lord has prepared this area for me. DC 107:108 (i think)
then rang loud about leaving being lazy and getting to work. And im all
about that!!!
HOw ever my favorite part (and yes i´m a little biast) was pres
Beynon. He talked about Having a change of heart and compared it to a
sail boat and how like our heart the sails must be full of something to
work. It was gorgeous and someday ill mostrar all the scriptures he
gave. I would then just add how like the spirit the wind is not
something we see, but that we feel! We must first show our faith and put
up our sails believing in something we can´t see but that we feel. And
the Lord takes the rest. We must be his hands, we must do the fizical
work. But He will always make up the difference and help us to the
end.....if.....we have a true change of heart!
I love this work, wat more can i say :-) guess i could add my
son is awesome and that i played some mad soccer today (cuzamento sou
eu!)
