I love the members here, they are so great! You start to talk about missionary work and all the sudden they are asking about investigators that they want us to meet and give us great references. We started an activity in our district called "O Domingo que Ninguém Chegou Sozinho" or "The Sunday that Nobody Showed Up Alone". We are going to the members and making goals with them to bring a friend to church one sunday of the month. Everyone is participating and we are starting to see the results!
So here in Brazil (I imagine that I've already mentioned this before), marriage is a complicated situation. The government usually delays the process and couples end up giving up or getting discouraged. We have many families who we are preparing that need to be married. It's a process that requires great patience, but we are seeing a lot of changes in these families. We focused most of our time this week teaching families the importance of eternal marriages in the temple. This has clarify my perspective on the importance of my family. Families aren't just an earthly idea, but the foundation of God's eternal plan of happiness. The more I work and strive to eternally change the life of families here in Rio, the more I realize how much I love my family and look forward to my own future family. I know that the lessons learned here will bless my family forever.
As famílias poderão ser eternas!
Family can be together forever!
