This week was a very special week for Brazil as it had the
privilege to host the living seer and revelator prophet Russel M. Nelson and
apostle Quinton L. Cook. They were also accompanied by their wonderful
inspiring wives. We had the privilege to watch a broadcast Friday for the
missionaries and it was powerful. One of the highlight quotes for me was from
Mary Cook. She said,
No one can be perfect... But we can do perfect things
everyday...
We may not be able to be perfect but how nice and comforting to
know we can follow the savior every day. She also taught about the importance
of hymns and primary music. She did great. At the end of the conference the prophet
gave a blessing to all the missionaries and it was truly powerful. He also held
a conference for the members here in Brazil where he ended with a blessing and
bearing his testimony in Portuguese. He is one powerful servant of God. This
was definitely a highlight of the week and mission. You couldn’t be in the room
and not feel the power of the spirit shaking every part of us testifying of the
divinity of his sacred calling.
Another fun development was getting to teach our 11 year old
investigator. We are helping to re-activate her family and baptize her in the
process. She really understands the gospel and is super intelligent. We are
only waiting for her mom to sign the papers and she will be baptized. When
I asked her what she wanted from us at the end of the first lesson she
responded that she only wanted to learn the commandments so that she could
follow them. So please pray for Ayza. She is fantastic!
On a trip to visit the family of Vinicius we were in his car
when his tire exploded... He skillful was able to pull over and we were stranded
in the middle of nowhere. But he was prepared and we were able to change the
tire. Ha-ha the jack gave a little bit of work but after no time we were able
to get going on our way.
Other than that a normal cram packed week. I love you tons and
hope that you all are well. Thank you for all the letters and support and
prayers you’ve given. May god bless and keep you until we meet again!
