So how was thanksgiving! sadly I didn't receive an email from any of you... haha but izzy thank you for your previous email from last week! Don't get discouraged and keep getting better with missionary work, and reading your scriptures! Also I think you all can start trying to read as a family! It will bring the blessing of peace in the home! Marion G. Romney, an apostle, gave this promise,
"I'm sure that in the homes of our people, parents will read the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase and grow mutual respect and consideration. The spirit of contention will disappear. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. The children will be more attentive and obedient to the advice of parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope and charity - the pure love of Christ - will abound in our homes and lives, bringing peace, joy and happiness. " Marion G. Romney, "The Book of Mormon," Ensign, May 1980, p. 67.
As for this week, Eliza was baptized! Whoo! I am also very thankful to receive my new new companion! Elder Pereira! He is from fortaleza, the north of brazil, and is the only member of his family! he is 19 years old and He has a great spirit about him! I am very excited to work with him! this week we had a member of the seventy come and visit! the conference with him was very powerful! He explained many things about the atonement and the gospel of Christ! May you all know this that when a servant of the Lord speaks with the Power of the Holy Ghost, regardless of language, and you are worthy of and in tune with spirit, you will receive what you need to hear! to have the Holy Ghost with you should be your quest! I want to always strive to have the spirit to me! He is the way that we can feel the love and presence of God daily! If there is something in your life that you know is prohibiting the spirit to dwell with you, abandon it. It is not worth it. I know God lIves and loves and cares and helps through the Holy Ghost! I am thankful for Him! Well hope to hear from you all next week! Love Elder Bell
