Halloween in Brazil

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

To tanner and Jess!

So this week was good. We're starting a new program in the mission with a system of four levels of goals. Every week you can get to a certain level depending on your results. The goal is to be LEVEL FOUR haha. 

I guess we'll have cards that will help us keep track of what level we've gotten too.

So this week was very busy. Some disappointments with investigators that are having a hard time with keeping some commandments and not enough desire to keep trying. It's always hard to leave them, but we have to keep going with the people that have the desire to change. 

I love the scripture in Helaman
“Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.“Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God.
“Yea, we see that whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, which shall … lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course …
“And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven.”

Helaman 3:27-30

It all depends on our desire like alma says in 24:9

for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.

On the bright side we have two investigators that are golden, that are going to get married! one of them to a less active that is coming back in full force to the church. I'm super excited for the wedding and baptism.

Halloween hardly showed his face here. haha. But I expiremented with some pineapple carving. I actually liked it a lot. You can eat the pineapple while you're carving it, and the smell of burnt pineapple isn't really to bad. 

Throw in 4 snickers that we found in a shop that sells them and presto: Halloween in our apartment.

Looks like my time is coming to an end in the office. President has almost finished the transfer and I think I will train a new historian.

Love you all!
