I am here in Dourados now. Its a big city. And its pretty great. There are a lot of awesome members here and a lot of excitement in missionary work. So i am super excited in what will come. 

This week has been pretty crazy with the transfer, travels, learning the area, and taking on the responsibility of a zone leader. My companion, Elder Freire, is on his last transfer and we are trying to make the best of it. There should be some pretty good stories to come as we are fufilling his mission bucket list. 

Its awesome to see people work together. Its horrible to see gossip tear people a part. We all need to judge, the people who we want to be around, and how we can help other people. But sometimes we will judge unjustly, judging the bad things in people. God doesn't teach not judge but, "Open thy mouth" and, "judge righteously"(Proverbs 31:9) When we talk about other people we should look to the best in them, and not look at their weaknesses. Always 'Judge righteously' and not gossip. I know that we should love everyone, look the best in them, and be united with them, and we will be extremely blessed. "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there i am in the midst of them."(Matthew 18:20)

Everyone have a great week!
