So Sorry I didn't write until now! This last few days have been carnaval, the big party that brazil is famous for, and so president decided that we should work until it is over. We didn't have Pday until today! So don't worry everyone I am still alive! I was happy to hear from Mom and Dad! Ha enjoy the time that you two will have with aunt nan! Jack Banks is that old?? what is this? that is crazy! haha well I have been out a year now and so time does go by fast! Tell them, Krista and Jack, that they should study Preach my gospel (chapter 3, study the lessons Kolob is not that important, and chapter 10), go teach with the missionaries, and read the book of Mormon everyday! with those things they will be much more prepared to serve the lord! I will pray for mike and that you can give him a blessing! Pray that Deborah and Jessica can receive a confirmation clear that this is the lords church, and they can be baptized this Saturday! As well in my district, Pray that Sister Hammon and Sister Almeida can guided more by the spirit to those that are ready to receive the gospel!
This week I was reminded why this work is the work of the Father! As I have had so much time in the same area, It has been a great blessing to see recent converts as they grow! As you teach and bring others to the Savior through baptism you have an overwhelming joy that has only been planted! As they go forward in the gospel, for example taking the sacrament for the first time or bearing their testimony in sacrament meeting for the first time, this Joy blossoms! this helps me only begin to understand how our Father in Heaven feels! His Joy is eternal because as we continue to grow and progress to return to his presence, his Joy grows! I love being apart of his work and that the Joy that he has can be felt as we bring others unto the Savior! I Love you all and may you seek for His Joy!
Love
