Nossas Vozes Elevemos

Hello!

Sorry that my emails have been so lame these last weeks. Everything is going well. I'm happy, I'm working, the sun is shining (well, burning). And alot has been happening. But at the same time not much exciting is happening. This area has great potential. This is the week. when it will all change for the better. I have realized that we need to concentrate on teaching more like the Lord taught. I know what we must do, and I know this week we will rescue, invite others unto christ, and we will baptize!

That's it for now. Love you!!

Pray for miracles

Everything is going well here.  We are working hard to make up for the lost work of last week and have some baptisms scheduled in the coming weeks

So much is changing in this mission right now and I want to make the difference the mission president is seeking. I heard that President Harrison has been speaking about being specific in our prayers for righteous desires.  My righteous desire is that I can accomplish the mission goal of weekly baptisms.  I know that your prayers can help this miracle happen.

 

Love you all!

Hello

This was a challenging week. Wednesday, my companion started foaming from the mouth and passed out for about 15 minutes. We spent two days and a night in the hospital and then the rest of the week  home for recovery. I was disappointed that we were deterred from finding and teaching, but looking back I realize I truly learned some great lessons. We had interviews with our mission president and he also raised the standards of excellence this week. I am so excited for a new week and the opportunity to make miracles.  Pray for us!

Love you all!

O Começo e O Fim

Happy new year/Feliz Ano Novo/Feliz Ano Nuevo!!

After an unexpected stay in Rio, we made it back to São Pedro for the new year. My new companion/beloved son, is Elder R. Santos. He is from Itaguaí, Rio and is serving a mission 'curto prazo', basically part time. He's a good kid and very friendly, so our investigators are liking him.

And now that the holidays and parties are over, everyone is coming back home. We have found some awesome new investigators. 2015 is already turning out to be a great year. I know this is going to the year of miracles, I can just feel it!

Thats it for now, love you guys!

Feliz Natal

This was one of the most intense weeks of my mission.

The story of Gracia's baptism was truly miraculous, so incredible.  Unfortunately I dont have all the words nor the time to write all that right now. But what I can say now is GRACIA WAS BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!! And it was an unforgetable baptism, the testimonies, the music, and most  importantly the great joy that she expressed. She was very well accepted into the family of God. It's been incredible to see the transformation in her since I met her. She was a grumpy sad woman with little hope. And now she is living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is changing her life.

I know this is Christ's church. God lives and loves each and everyone of us.  Jesus Christ died for me and you and humanity and today lives, redeeming us. And entering in his covenent of baptism is the greatest blessing we have, to be able to one day enter in the kingdom of God again.

Love you all!  Merry Christmas!!!
