This week was awesome. "só benção"
It started off with an awesome "Zone Council" that elder bartling and decided to do with our zone to help everyone BOND a little bit if ya know what I mean... haha we had a lil breakfast, played a few GAMES "ryan knows what voice I'm doing that in" haha and we just had a discussion about how every things going in the zone and what we can do to become better, it was way cool and we all go to know each other a little better! Then, we had a multi zone conference with ohh big President Thomas which was way cool. Its cool to see how he is such an inspired man, and is already filling the shoes of President del Guerso. I know that I have so much to learn with him, I heard recently that you are called to a certain mission because of the president, that when the apostles and prophet choose they look at the presidents of each mission and choose by the president. I really believe in that. STUD.
I also had the opportunity to go back to my PLACE OF BIRTH, JARDIM CONCEIÇÃO I really want to put exclamation marks, but the key stopped working for some reason haha. And boy was it awesome, i did an exchange there and I was able to see so many people it was so dang awesome some of my favorite members there bought us pizza haha it was so sick<<< I learned a lot also with the missionary I was with, elder M. Souza. He's a super awesome, humble and happy missionary that was my son's elder travassos comp in the MTC, haha so its sweet. This week we also found a super awesome family from a girl that we met at church named Paloma. She just showed up out of nowhere last Sunday with a member whos trying to come back to church named Rita. She's super awesome and lives with her son Mikael who's inactive and Paloma who's his boyfriend. Mikael is being a little tougher, but Paloma is so awesome! She is loving church and accepting everything super well, we just need to see if we can marry these peeps. Paloma is awesome, so she's gonna push Mikael and help them to either get married or separate haha All the other families are doing good, only one woman went, but she's awesome ha its like the same situation with paloma and mikeal, her husband's an inactive member and they aren't married.
Feel super grateful for these people that we are teaching that Heavenly Father has given to us. I heard a quote yesterday that I really liked. "that when we pray, we should think about how it would be if we woke up with only the things that we thanked Heavenly Father for yesterday." It is so important to thank Him for all of the little things we have, even the most simple blessings. I love this work so much, and I am grateful for all of you guys, sorry this email was so long today haha. I hope you all have an awesome week.
