This week we had Zone
Meeting! On wednesday we took our 2 and a half hour drive to Coimbra and
we get there and we call the ZLs and they say it isnt until
thursday.... Hahah that was quite annoying. So we drove back home did a
little work then drove back the next day! So yeah we spent 10 hours in
the car this week!
Anyway our mission president
finally got his visa and he arrives this week! The mission council
talked with him over Skype so they got to kinda meet him and get his
vision for the mission and stuff. He's super cool! He has so much faith
and said that we're going to baptize more tnan the mission did BEFORE
the split! It was pretty powerful. Also, just to say, when he was on his
mission in Brazil he was AP for his last 15 months and baptized every
single weekend for his last 39 weeks!! too crazy! He focused A TON on
obedience. He said that obedience and hard work was how we are going to
succeed! So I'm pretty pumped to baptize!!
But
this week we founf this awesome kid named Francisco! He's 16 and we
always see him doing email and at the mall and just like randomly on the
streets like every day. So we finally got his address and decided to
teach him, and hes captivated to say the least! He is super into
everything we say and he said he stayed up till 4 am reading the book of mormon! He is coming to church on sunday and hes awesome!
I've
been reading in the war Chapters of Alma this week and everytime I read
this part I get pumped!!! Moroni is just super human. And a genius. And
the stripling warriors are fearless and just trust in God more than
anything and I'm a guy who likes action maybe thats why I like it so
much haha but sometimes its hard to get super spiritual with all those
wars. But I never really realized HOW MUCH the stripling warriors
trusted in God. They shouldve lost. Helaman called them little boys and
sons like 5 times but they still just said, "Nah we're good we've got
the Lord on our side dont worry about it" too cool! I hope all of you
are like the stripling warriors and know that you can defeat anything
with the Lord on your side!!
Have an awesome week!!
