So I will be transfered to Alta Floresta with translated in english is
High Forest! So it is basically in the Amazon and should be really
awesome! Im super excited but sad to leave Rondonópolis. But it should
be great!

We did a lot of divisons with other missionaries this week! So it has
been great to learn from other people. Thats something that is set up
from God to us missionaries and really for everyone! We shouldnt
compare ourselves to others but its a great tool that we can learn
from the example of others to better ourselves. Expecially Jesus
Christ. The natural man in everyone wants to look at the bad in
people. But if we look only on the bad in people we will never grow.
And we learn that from the pharasees and Jesus Christ. We need to look
on the good in people.

I forgot my pictures this week since of the rush, i will be picking up
a bus here in a little bit. But everyone have a great week! And have a
great Holloween!

It is becoming summer here! This week has been full of contacts,
lessons, and sweat! But it has been super great. I love working here
and the opportunity to learn more and grow mentaly, emotionally,
physically, and most importantly spiritualy!

We were able to meet a really awesome family. They have been looking
for a church. They have been having problems medically and have been
looking for a spiritual strength. They have already been to a few
churches but just havent felt right. But they said that they felt
something different talking to us and are excited to visit the church.
We are super excited for them! We also met another family where the
mother was already baptised but has lost contact with the church the
past few years. We were able to meet here and her family and invite
them to church!

This week has been amazing and we have been learning a lot on the
constant process of conversion and bettering ourselves. There is no
end point. We must constantly be creating goals and accepting
criticism from others on how we can better ourslelves. But there is a
natural sensce in us that doesnt want to change. That doesnt want to
accept the critism of us when it could be useful. We cant take offence
to constructive critisism! Especially from those most close to us!
Constantly bettering, constantly becoming more like Christ is Gods
plan for us! I pray that we do this!

Everyone have an amazing week! If the weather is below 100 degrees
enjoy it! Your lucky!

This week has been amazing. It has been a little cloudy and rainy so
it has been really awesome. We are all enjoying and taking advantage
of the sun not fighting against us this week. But it has been awesome.

We´ve been working a lot with contacts, less active members, recent
converts, and a few families. It is really awesome to be able to see
someone return to the church after a long time of inactivity. This is
what we were able to see yesterday. We were so happy it was amazing.
It is also really awesome to talk to everyone on the street about the
gospel. So spread the knowledge that the Lord´s church is on the earth
once again and we are working to gather zion. Its so awesome to be a
part of this work and share this wonderful message.

I had the great opportunity to study again probably the most important
section in Doctrine and Covenants. Section 132. And i really love
verse 19. If you guys can study that its really awesome. I love to
teach this scripture to families. I love to tell them and bring them
the hope that the family can be forever. This is probably one of the
most important hope we have in the gospel. The family can be sealed by
the word of God to be united throughout eternity and be unlimited
throughout the eternities. The love of God is unlimitted and because
of this our potential is umlimited. We have to do our best not to take
this for granted. We have so much in store but we must live by the way
God tells us to live. Its hard but its worth every difficulty, every
challenge, every tear, every pain, every exhausted breath. Everything
is worth it in the work of the Lord. How great is this gospel!

Everyone have an amazing week! I will see you all again next week!

I hope everyone enjoyed Confrence! It truly was an inspired and
spiritual event. I was so happy to watch that. It was different this
time as i watched it in portuguese.

It was the highlight of this week! I hope everyone had the chance to watch it!

I loved Elder Bednars talk about the leadership of the church. It
really helped strengthen my testimony of revelation and how our
leaders are truly chosen by the Lord. If you have a chance, i would
suggest watching or watching again general confrence, we can learn so
much from it.

Everyone have a good week!

This week we went to Cuiabá for a zone confrence! It was really
awesome and i loved it! Our new mission presidente is making a lot of
changes for the better so its really awesome! he is really changing
the atitude of the mission!

I was able to give my first talk in sacrament meeting which was great!
It was about member missionary work (easy). But it was awesome to talk
to the Branch about that.

This week was fun of amazing spiritual experiences! I cannot count how
many blessings we recieved! It is true how the Lord will bless you
with everything you need and when you are doing more for him he will
even bless you with things that you want! I cannot describe little
blessing of just simple things like someone offering dinner to us when
we were hungry, it truly is amazing.

This Gospel is the best thing! There is no better focus in the
universe. It applies to everything, everyone. The example of Jesus
Christ is the answer to everything!

Everyone have a great week and enjoy General Confrence! It is going to
be amazing!
