I'm sorry but I have to go right now--this will be short---I gave a
Book of Mormon to a woman that works here and set up a time to meet with
her. I took my friend, Elder Lucas Pinto Guerdes from the Rangers
Soccer team and his companion Elder Guerdes and we met with two of the
women working here and shared the first vision--the Spirit was there--I
was able to understand about 80%---it was really good---the sisters
wanted to know where they could go to church and promised to read 3
Nephi Capitulo onze!! Right now--our last p-day I'm going with my
companion over to Mr. Cheney's to eat all of those cookies that you paid
for me to get Mother---PARTY!!--Thanks a bunch--those cookies--are
soooooo delicious. Sorry, I didn't have a chance to read anyone's e-mail
yet but I will later on--don't worry. Our last visit to the MTC was
fantastic. Proselyting--our first "official" proselyting was on Monday
for about two and a half hours--the coolest part was after we walked up
this super tall hill and I started walking really fast so that we could
catch up to a young boy that was walking his dog--it looked like a black
lab to me. His name was Leonardo and probably was only 9 or 10--about
your age James! We talked to him about his life, his awesome dog--which
indeed was a lab--and he had a super awesome name for it--but I don't
remember what it was. Anyways--sorry this is bad English--going fast--we
told him about the WARS in the BOM because as we all know little boys
love war and being a hero and working hard, being tough, etc. We told
him to take the book home and read it with his mother and we also gave
him a pamphlet! I told him that I have five younger brothers and that we
love to read the BOM every day and that I know that it can help him to
learn about Jesus Christ and return to live with God. I have a lot of
others stories---OH--especially when we meet William on the street
AGAIN. Things don't happen by coincidence. Brothers!!---make sure you
read the BOM every day so that what I told Leonardo can really be true!!
Oh and we met a guy that didn't believe in Christ, God, nothing. Then
when we asked him if we could give him a Bible or a Book of Mormon he
said that he had already read it---HAH! Yea right. A lot of Brasilians
here like to pull that card. I told him--Oh really! Okay, well then you
already know that Jesus Christ visited the America's and we ended up
sharing a message, bearing testimony and giving him a BOM anyways and he
was reading it when we left so---we'll see. PLANT THE SEED! LOVE YOU
ALL! I will try to send some letters by Mr. Cheney's--mother you can
discontinue Mr. Cheney's now that I'm leaving---make sure you go online
and discontinue--otherwise they will automatically charge you. Talk to
you later. The church is true. Don't be afraid to listen to the
Spirit--write the promptings down and then before you go to bed--look
and see if you accomplished them all!! Today was the last time at the
Sao Paulo temple---IT WAS AWESOME!! I learned a lot about the symbolism
and had a great conversation with Heavenly Father in the Celestial Room.
Remember Prayer is when you talk to God and his response is
Revelation---we literally converse with God---keep praying and look at
what is most important. Don't forget to have fun, smile and enjoy
life--help others do more than just endure---be joyful!! Tchau familia!!
Thanks for the love and letters---they strengthen me soo much. Love you
all!
