The Mission President Report:
Barbara estava na Igreja uma vez
mais! Cleyton, o irmão dela, recebeu o sacerdócio aarônico la também. Vamos
trabalhar com eles essa semana para que Cleyton puder batizar ela. Encontramos
uma família menos ativa também com uma filha que pode ser batizada!
(Google Translate)
Barbara was in the Church once more!
Cleyton, her brother, received the Aaronic Priesthood it too. We will work with
them this week to Cleyton can baptize her. We found a less active family also
with a daughter who can be baptized!
Also, the mom in the part-member
family has cancer and will be going through some treatments this week. I had
the opportunity to give her a priesthood blessing. They have a desire to return
to Church! The husband works this week and the mom will be having some
treatments, but probably the following Sunday they can make it!
Dear Family & Friends,
I believe it! There are surprisingly
a lot of white people here. There isn't one "Brazilian" look.
Everything is mixed. There is way more diversity here than I thought there
would be. People always go, "Oi Alemão!" (Hey German!) to me, haha. I
Love This Place.
Ahhhwww! I'm glad you got to eat your
Costco..."TRadition...TRADITION!" Sorry, my District Leader, Elder
Strebe and I were singing music from "Fiddler On The Roof" this week
and your cake reminded me of that part! :) Yeah, it sounds like Levi extended,
you're right. Normally you go home a few weeks or a month earlier.
I have been receiving emails from
Ashley! But most of my time is spent emailing President and you guys, so
unfortunately I'm not so diligent about reading her emails home, but I will try
this week. That's okay if you repeat! We Both Love You!! :)
Italian is very similar to
Portuguese, so that would be kind of sweet to go there. Also, I think they've
started on the temple in Rome. Or you could go to England and listen to the
delicious voices of Elton John, Ed Sheeran, and Ellie Goulding. That's a tough
one. Or you could go to Australia! I really loved it there. But that is so nice
of Cathy to do for you. She as always used her positions and abilities to bless
other people. As I said before, going to the temple with her before my mission
was one of my best preparations.
I Love That Talk! Especially that
part where he says, "I testify with my own grandfather who said simply
enough, 'A wicked man could not write such a book as this. And no good man
WOULD write it unless he were commanded by God to do so.'" I will continue
praying for Paula. Visiting her is so helpful to missionary work! Thank you for
your help. You will be so blessed for doing so.
Unfortunately I don't know what
sungas are yet, I'll ask my companion. Sorry this is short, but I will try
and save time to send pictures!!! Thank you for your thoughts on The
Advocate and His Expiação.
Your closing remarks remind me of
something I heard in the MTC. I keep it in a notebook called "My Small
Plates" as Nephi said, "On these I write the things of my
soul..." But anyway someone in that sacred place said, "A ship in the
harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are for." From then on I have
learned about how we are meant to voyage towards the Promised Land the Lord has
in store for us.
Guys, You are The BEST!
Love,
Élder Weaver
