Esta Semana

Thanks for all the Emails, it's fantastic to hear from everybody.

I can tell you I will sleep a lot this pday, Elder Ashby and I are pretty beat. This week we've been filling our planners to the brim. There is literally not an empty space on there (I'll have to send a pic).

Last P-day we actually went and did something instead of sleeping the day away! (Which is probably why we've been so tired all week haha) We went to parque do Sabia. It's a lake/park that has some cool animals. We almost went to the aquarium but Elder Hayden told us it looks like the place you buy fish in Wallmart.
We walked around a bit, drank coconuts, ate mangos, and even saw a few monkeys! I took WAY more pictures of the monkeys than anything else. We almost fed them from our hands but decided it would be better to stay here in the mission than go home with some weird virus from a monkey bite.

We have a bunch of people that will come to church, but they mainly have one of two obstacles: Word of Wisdom, and getting Married!
Needless to say We will be teaching some powerful spirit-filled law of chastity lessons.

Where's the foto of your costume mom? and dad? haha.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! You can repeat them this next week too! Happy happy birthday for Jess and Tanner. Mom only needs to make two cakes in November now. haha.

So I've been trying to work a lot more with the members. We've taught a lot of incomplete families and people that have stopped coming to church. Not any success YET. We've had a couple of lessons where we are trying to rescue somebody, but we end up leaving the house a bit depressed. It is so so important to listen to the councils of our prophets about when we have doubts, I won't get into details.

One of these lessons was really great, I was talking with Elder Ashby after and we had both felt the reason that that person had left the church, it was something so very very quiet from the spirit, but we both had felt it. In that lesson I opened my scriptures to leave a part for her to read, I looked at Elder Ashby and he had already opened to the exact verse that I was going to leave. Very spiritual and I knew in that moment that we were teaching what the Lord wanted.

Have a fantastic week, send more pics!
Love

Batisamos Para Exaltar!

Oi familia!
Let's see if google translate will function.

Estou muito animado pois estamos trabalhando somente com familias! Claro vamos batisar outras pessoas, mas estamos batisando para exaltar, nao somente salvar.
Tinhamos uma conferencia muito bom com o presidente Kuceki. Eu estou orando que podemos batisar uma familia por semana, e realmente O Senhor esta cumprindo a parte dele. Encontramos 3 familias, cada um pode batisar nas semanas seguintes!

Ontem a noite eu estava muito cansado. Nos andamos e andamos e muitos comprimissos cairam. Mas Eu tinha  a sentimento que vamos trabalhar ate o po e o senhor vai nos abençoar com uma familia. 15 minutos ate 9 horas nos entramos uma casa e ensinamos uma mae e a filha dela. Encontramos batendo portas (raramente alguem deixa voce entrar aquela horario a noite). Elas sentiram o espirito e vamos voltar la no sabado. Se elas cumprem os compromissos, vamos ter 3 familias!

Eu tenho um testemunho dessa maravilhosa obra. Eu sei que quando nos trabalhamos com o espirito e planejar bem, o senhor guia cada minuto de nosso dia. Ele coloca a gente pra falar com eleitos, encontrar menos ativos, e buscar tuas ovelhas perdidas.

One cool experience was when Elder Ashby (who is learning very quickly) stopped a man that was entering his house, that I would have let pass. Turns out he was baptized a long time ago, we had a great lesson with him and called him and his wife to come back.

Amo voces MUITO!
