This week it rained just about every day. I really don’t enjoy
the rain because nobody wants to talk to you. But still we worked every minute
we could and took advantage of the situations. I now know a little more about
what it means to endure to the end.
Spiritual experience: I was a little frustrated because we have
been working like no other with results smaller than I wanted... So Saturday I
wrestled with God and begged him to send somebody to church that would just go
out of the blue. Somebody who would already have a friend there. And somebody
we could teach this week. Sunday arrived and our family wasn’t there. While
praying again and again I began to become a little discouraged. But sure enough
our family came in a bit late and after church we found out there had been a
youth that showed up and found he had a friend there. We will play ball with
him today and teach him Tuesday with his member friend. Miracles are real.
Prayer is real. We have to learn to pray and ask specifically what we need and
tell heavenly father specifically what we are going to do. He will always
answer in the best way. That is to say his way.
Funny story: We climbed the biggest hill in our city and found a
mango tree on top of it. Right now we are in mango season and these mangoes were
sooooo perfect. So naturally we climbed it and harvested a bunch of mangoes.
These were the bet mangoes I’ve ever had in my life. Not saying a lot... but my
comp also agreed that they were the best mangoes in his life and being that he
is Brazilian and has a life full of mangoes it means a little more. But I almost
killed him because I was in the tree throwing mangoes too him and occasionally
some randomly fell and almost hit him... I was up about 40 feet. But we lived
and have been drinking natural mango juice every day this week. This is the
first area that I’ve gained weight. I’ve gained 1 kilo (2.2 pounds). I’m going
to have to start running again ;)
So not going to lie... I only remembered
thanksgiving because of black Friday... But in my defense Brazilians don’t
celebrate it... Just black Friday. (Bought a giant box of Brazilian cereal!)
But I’m thankful for the day that we get to be extra
thankful.
Love, Elder Lee
