Seja bem vida de Matinhos!
I
have never loved a place so much in my life. We live 3 blocks away from
the beach and it is so green and pretty and I never want to leave. The
people of Matinhos are the most layed back people and I love them all!
I
literally walk around with an umbrella because it is so hot. But its
great! And then there are fruit trees all over the place with funky
fruit that we pick and eat along the way. I love it here so much you
guys. And we walk in sand and there are tree houses and it is so great. I
cannot express my love for this area!
Sister S. Silva is
my companion from Bela Horizante and she goes home in May! AHh. So we
are working real hard and have a wedding for
Tuesday and a baptism
on Saturday!
This
week we met Myra, with a beer in her hand, when she yelled out to us
and gave us the address of her neighbor that she wants us to teach. She
has already been taught by the missionaries and was almost baptized! But
we taught her and her neighbor, Gabriel this week and they were
awesome! We have literally had a solid 5 people come to us and say that
they have already heard about the gospel but that they are willing to
let us teach them. It is the weirdest thing and I dont know what it is,
but I am definitely not complaining!
I love this gospel and
my Heavenly Father. I truly cannot express how excited I am about this
area and how sure I am that God has a plan. Entâo, my invitation for you
all is to read your scriptures every day for at least 10 minutes. Elder
Gary E. Stevensons said, "As you strive to follow the teachings you
find in the Book of Mormon, your joy will expand, your understanding
will increase, and the answers you seek to the many challenges mortality
presents will be opend to you". I know that as we pray with real
intent, with the desire to act on the answers we will recieve, we will
know the things that we need to do. I know that Heavenly Father loves
you and that He is waiting to pour blessings upon you.
Being
a missionary is the coolest thing and it is amazing seeing the Lords
plan play out little by little, every single day. The church is true and
I love you all so much! Have the greatest week!
