Hello family!!! It was great to hear your voices again!!! I´m so EXCITED
FOR YOU NATHAN----you are going to be such an amazing missionary--I
know it!!
My companion let me talk to his brother--it was pretty awesome. He
sure is a great missionary--Elder Boccia--he is from Parana Brasil.
When he was younger he used to travel to Paraguay buy things there and
then return to Brasil and sell them for a lot more--this is how he
earned money to serve here on the mission.
This last week, Isabela, age
17 sang for the beginning of sacrament meeting. Elder
Boccia baptized her since it was his first baptism--we are now trying to
baptize the rest of her family. This week Elder Boccia and I had the
chance to give a lady a priesthood blessing and afterwards she felt
completely better she said--it was pretty neat. She then came to church
and it was great to see her there. Elder Hatch helped me teach
the English class on Saturday and he played Waterfall on the
piano--basically perfectly for everyone and they all loved it--the size
of the English class has diminished a lot lately. I love to buy powdered
milk and make it with water here in the house because the milk here is
really expensive---my powdered milk with the packets of oatmeal were
SUPER DELICIOUS---thank you family.
I love being able to listen to music
and feeling the Spirit of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. We had an awesome
family home evening this week that the Elders and I planned! We
invited two inactive families that have been inactive for four years and
THEY CAME!! The father of the one family CAME TO CHURCH, HE MOVED HIS
RECORDS INTO THE NEW WARD AND WE MARKED ANOTHER FAMILY NIGHT IN HIS
HOUSE TOMORROW WITH THE BISHOP --I am so glad to have had the chance to
be help his family ----God is really the one that helped them --I am
just a servant, only a servant. I know that God lives and loves us all
and that we can always return and feel his love when we are willing to
let him in. Only follow good examples okay and remember that Christ
lives and that this is HIS CHURCH AND THAT THE GOSPEL IS A GOSPEL OF
JOY!!
Love,
Elder Gregg Allen
