Yesterday was
pretty awesome. So I guess the missionaries aren't cool enough to have a
special conference with Elder Bednar. (He is here in Porto Alegre), but
yesterday our stake had a special conference with Elder Gary Stevenson,
the Presiding Bishop of the church. He talked about how the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is different from every other
church.....authority. Because of priesthood authority the church isn't
just true, it is living!!!!!! He also talked about his love for
missionaries, so I of course felt super special. I was able to talk to
him and his wife for a second after the meeting. I was one of the few
there that was able to communicate with him. (He doesn't speak
Portuguese, so he had a translator.) He said that they have property in
Morgan because they like to hunt. Small world.
This will be the last week of this transfer. It is a
transfer of 7 weeks to make up for the transfer of 5 weeks that we had
right before Christmas. I only have 3 transfers left!!!!!!!
This week was good. We found a few people these days
that have a ton of potential. The work has been really hard these days
because everyone is at the beach or vacationing for the famous Brazilian
Carnival! But......the work must go on!
I am sure Lisa's farewell was amazing, because she was amazing! I am super proud of her and this desire to serve!
I love you all and I love this gospel. I LOVE being a missionary!
