This
week we had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people. Highlight was Easter Sunday!
I got to give a talk with my old Trainer elder Satre and it was tons of fun to coordinate
with him and get prepped. I taught in a story like manner reflecting on the
life of the Savior and his true mission and purpose. I tried to imagine how
Elder Holland would give the talk. It’s funny cause here people don’t know how
the prophet and apostles sound because the all the videos are dubbed over into Portuguese.
But here in Brazil the Catholic Church treats Friday before (when Christ died)
as a bigger holiday. I’ve had the chance to boldly proclaim and teach that we
choose rather to remember the success and victory that could only be won by Christ
in the atonement and especially the resurrection. Satan has tried really hard
to commercialize the holiday and distract its true and original purpose. But we
get to sucker punch him in the face when we remain focused on its pure and
simple meaning. Christ lives and rose from the dead so that we may do the
same.
This next week is
stake conference and so we will wait until next week to baptize a few of our
youth. But we are excited to help Erik and his older brother Gabriel be
baptized. They are two young brothers who have cousins and a grandmother who
are members. We have been trying to strengthen the young men’s quorum.
Sunday I turned 20 and
left being a teenager. Ha-ha I'm super grateful for all the time I had to spend
with you guys! Thank you all for being wonderful influences on me and helping
me grow. Ha-ha ill still need plenty of help growing up don’t worry. It was
funny because I didn’t tell anyone that it was my bday and my trainer who I
live with told bishop and he announced it in sacrament meeting and all the
sisters in the ward got mad at me for not telling. We had a family home evening
with one family who made me a cake and we taught their nonmember relatives.
Sunday was an awesome day of work. We were tired as heck but God really made up
for it in the blessings he sent.
Over all I Love you
all tons and hope you all had a great Easter and have a wonderful safe
week!!!
Elder Lee
