I recieved some sad but exciting news at the end of the transfer yesterday, I will be transfered to a new area, Rondonopolis, and recieving a new brazilian companion! It is sad after getting close to the people, the area, and my companion but it will be good! Either I need Rondonopolis, Rondonopolis needs me, or both. I trust the Lord!
We met another amazing family this week. The parents are awesome and they have two amazing kids. We had an awesome opportunity to have a noite familiar (family night) with them where we played guitar, ate some people, and had a good time! Its awesome to see the kids grow and their desire to know more about the gospel and the Book of Mormon even though they are young in age! The best part is to see peoples lives improve as they learn more about the gospel, i know that is true. As we increase our knowledge about the gospel our lives will improve and be blessed.
We were also able to leave a message at the noite familiar. We had an awesome object lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On how we take a journey to an awesome place but have 2 lakes to get over on the way back. We have a friend who makes bridges and he made one over the first lake for free but required 5 dollars for the second bride. And after we paid the 5 dollars we were able to cross the second bridge and get home safely. We compared it to life and how we took a journey to the earth. The two lakes represent physical death and spiritual death, where we wont be able to live with God again. Jesus Christ, is our friend who made both bridges for us. But the second bridge, spiritual death, requires us to have faith, repent, be baptized, recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. I know that this is true. And we can all return and live with God and our families forever if we do these things! Have a good week!
