my problem is that I really like to READ
emails instead of write them. but we'll see what cool things I can make
up to tell you guys lol.
Sister Neves and I
this week are having a problem and the problem is that THERE ARE SO MANY
PEOPLE HERE THAT PREACH BLASPHEMEY. hahahaha our weekly goal is "dont
argue with people that teach apostasy". as my testimony has gotten
stronger, and my portuguese better, its just getting harder to not call
people out when they try to tell us false doctrines and all that crap.
highlight of this week was someone telling us "jesus christ doesnt have a
body"???????????? brb praying for patience because if i pray for
strength ill end up hitting someone (jk) (kind of)
We
are getting alot of new investigators and teaching more than ever
before, but still our baptismal propsects are looking so so small. BUT
we make goals to show our faith and and the end of the day we look at
what we did to count our blessings :) weve started the good habit of
talking with EVERYONE on the street! even when were late for something
(which we always are) we try to use 30 seconds to invite someone to
learn more about the gospel!
Ive come to appreciate SO much our living prophet and apostles. THE LIAHONA (MAGAZINE) IS MY FAVORITE THING IN THE UNIVERSE!
i
was studying an article about fathers, and how God is our perfect
father. At times we open the box of life and get so confused and
frustrated because we see so many little parts and big parts and dont
know how it all fits together. But God loves us, he wants us to be
successful, and he gave us the INSTRUCTIONS! Prayer, the scriptures, the
words of the living prophets, they are all that "random" little white
packet of directions that no one really reads as they should. He didnt
send us here alone! He doesnt want us to be frustrated! Im grateful for a
loving Heavenly Father (and an awesome earthly father, shout out to my
pops) who gives us so many tools for success and happiness.
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
