Im sorry to hear about Grandpa i am really
going to miss him and i know all of you will as well. He was an amazing
husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, teacher, and servant
of the Lord. I hope i can become more like him and be the kind of man he
wants me to be, i am so greatful for the example he has been in my life
and i hope i can make him proud. I send you my prayers durring this sad
time and i hope we can all remember the plan the Savior has layed down
for us and know that Gandpa is in a better place and watching over us.
I have though a lot about the Plan of Salvation this week durring
my lessons and i am so greateful that i know the plan our Heavenly
Father has for us. I have thought a lot this week about how lucky i am. i
have so much and i dont know why the Lord has blessed me so. i look at
the people here and at their houses, clothing, food and their living
conditions my heart aches. i have been given so much and i have always
had more than what i need. i have been blessed with such an amazing
family, you all help me so much and whenever i have a problem or a doubt
i know i can look to you and you will help me with anything i need. i
have such amazing friends that are always there and we always have good
times together, i was born into a family that knows and understands the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and i grew up in the church and know so much. i
could go on forever but i dont have time. The Lord has been so kind to
me it seems unfair when i see some of these people. i hope that during
these two years i can give a little of what i have to these people and
make their lives a little better in anyway i can. I hope you all can
look at your lives and see how truely blessed we are and recognize the
things we have been given.
I dont have too much time so i will tell you a
little about my second week here. i cant believe it is p day again it
feels like yesturday i was sitting here writing to you all. i was
talking to my companion about it and he says your entire mission feels
this way. it makes me sad because i am loving it out here and i dont
want it to pass too quickly. i hope i can make every second count. I had
my fist baptism this week!! it was amazing her name is Simoni and she
is super strong. she was so prepared to recieve the gospel i didnt even
have to do anything. she did everything we told here as soon as possible
and so ready to get baptized. Elder Moura baptized her and i will
confirm her next week in sacrament meeting. i am kinda nercous because
my potuguese is not too great yet but i will try. we had a really
successfull week and everything went super well i went on two different
divisoins this week and both of them went super well. one of them was in
a different area and that place had so many hills it was crazy! i think
all of the hills in brazil are in that place no joke. the other was in
my same area and i had to be the senior companion! i was super nervous
but it went really well and our lessons went well. nothing else has been
happening just the normal missionary grind. i am eating so much it is
not even funny the members here give us so much food i think i am going
to die. Grandma you would like my companion he is always making me eat
more and more. i am not sick any more i just had a little cold nothing
to be worried about mom... Yes i have to say my mission is going great
and i live every minute of it. i have to go love you all and wish you
the best tchau!
