Dear Family
Mom i am very happy to hear that you surgury went well and that you
are coming home. i am so glad to hear that there were no problems and
that the drugs havent affected your stuburness. i have been having some
of the same problems here with the language as you are having with your
knee. whenever i am having a bad day with the language and i am having a
hard time understanding everyone and i cant think of the words to say
in my lessons i have to take a step back and rememer that the Lord is
with me and when i put forth my all and do everything that i can and it
is still not enough i can look to the Lord and know that he will make up
the difference. One of my favorite scriptures is 2 Nephi 22 2 it says '
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the
Lord Jehova is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.
This scripture brings a lot of comfort to me because when i feel like i
dont have the strength to go on the Lord will be there to lift me up
and i know that i can do anything with the Lord.
I have to say my first week in Brasil has been pretty great! I have
been loving every minute of it! I love the food here so much it is not
even funny i am getting fat! Grandma will be happy to know that i have
put on 7 lbs since being in the MTC and i will probably be putting on a
lot more hahah. My favorite meal has to be breakfast they make this
amazing cream of wheat stuff that i just love i have two bowls a day and
they also have stuff for panninis i look forward to it every day it is
kinda sad. sometimes they have some funky stuff but i have been trying
everything and i like mostly all of it. My Portuguse is coming along a
lot faster here in Brasil i can understand people a lot better and i
feel like i am getting better. there are still some days where i cant
understand anything but i guess that is to be expected. i cant believe
that i have already been here for a month! it doesnt feel that long at
all but then again it seems like forever ahaha. i am out of time so i
just want to leave my testimony that i know this church is true. i know
that my Savior Jesus Christ lives and know each and everyone of us and
will help us with whatever we need. I know that Joseph Smith was a true
prophet of God and that he saw God the Father and Jesus Christ. I know
The Book of Mormon is the word of God and is the cornerstone our
religion and it needs to be the cornerstone of our lives. I know that
Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. i say these things in the
name of Jesus Crist Amen.
Love Elder Harris
