Então familia,
Since this letter is only 4 days after the last one, i dont have anything too exciting to report. The work is going great--we're teaching a lot and have a lot of investigators. Our goal is 8 baptisms this transfer. We´ve already got 2 marked (Joana and leandro) and this week we're going to mark 4 more. Oh I love this work =]
I gave a talk in church yesterday about missionary work. I was basically like "My job is to teach. its the responsibility of the members to find people", because really, thats the way the missionary program should be working. I also talked about why i'm a missionary--because i love these people and i want them to have eternal happiness. Because Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and left us His gospel, and unless we follow that path, we cant have exaltation. Its the same way that, unless you follow the course program in a university to be a civil engineer, you can't recieve a diploma to be a civil engineer. You can't study history and get a degree in math. You cant follow any other path and get a celestial degree, entendesse? And this knowledge was restored through a prophet. Its SOOO important to make this known. And people think that if they dont believe it, it means its not true. Unfortunately (or fortunately!) there is a truth, and ignoring it won't make it go away.
Im still surprised how easily the language is flowing for me. sometimes i have people that are like "i have no idea what you're saying", but thats rare and unusual--i think they just get it in their minds that i have an accent and that they cant understand it, because after 10 minutesx of talking they understand. Or the spirit helps...Probably that one more than anything, haha
Anyway familia, I hope you all know that i love you and pray for all of you specifically. Stay firm in the gospel. Love each other.
