Keys


Well guys, this week I am in a new area, which is good, lots of good people here willing to listen and help. But this week my comp, Elder Chaves(chaves is keys in Portuguese), so its very ironic because he lost our keys while we were out in the city, so we had to ask our neighbor if I could jump the wall to see if the back door was unlocked. Our neighbor let us and so I jumped the wall and thankfully the back door was unlocked and had an extra set of keys. And it we did not find the keys until the next day, but hey we found them, so all’s well that ends well! 

But always have faith in God and everything will be alright. He is always going to be there, waiting for us to ask Him for help, through every storm that we have, every trial, everything. He will not leave us or stop loving us, there is no force that can stop Him from loving us. But it is our decision if we are going to ask Him for help, because we all need it, and He is willing to give it. Love you guys!!! Let me know how everything goes!!!!!

General Conference (Ap 3, 2017 letter)



Well, general conference this week, it went really well, learned a lot from the apostles and prophet. Only got distracted once, at the end of the last conference, there was one guy who was sleeping with his mouth open, so my comp went over and put a cookie in his mouth. He woke up very surprised kkkk. And afterwards while we were walking home with some members, figured out the score of a soccer game, 2-0. So we had one guy with us that shouted "zero!!!" to show his excitement, and off in the distance another guy echoed the shout. Everyone is so excited about soccer here, and everyone plays really well. It is pretty cool to watch.

But what I learned from our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson is that the Book of Mormon is very important. And it is very important that we read from its pages every day, and not just read, but study, ponder and apply in our lives. This will help us live with more joy and happiness and prepare us to live with our loving Father in Heaven. 
Love you guys, wish you all the absolute best!!! Let me know how everything goes!!!

Transfer



Well this week I was transferred, which was a little bit difficult because I had grown close to the people there, but God knows all, just need to trust in Him. And now I am in an area where we walk a lot haha, but it’s all good. Well this week we gave a blessing to the president of the branch, because he might have dengue, we do not know but he wasn’t doing very well. So we went to his house and talked to him and gave him a blessing, so he will be alright and have the strength to do what he needs to do. 
Well this week was the week of Easter, where we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior. He gave us everything, from a perfect example to the life He had, He gave us His all so we can return to Him and our Father in Heaven. How glorious is that? We just need to become more like Him and we can have life eternal. Not only that, but we can have happiness and joy always, no matter what circumstance we may be in. God loves us, I know because I can feel His love in my life, especially when I do the things He wants of me. Love you guys, but God loves you more! Learn to love Him and He will never disappoint! Have a great week! Let me know how it goes!!!
