The 70

Wow did this week just fly by, normally the weeks here are quick, but this week was faster then the others because we had to go to a city called Pelotas for a thing called a mission tour. For a mission tour normally you have a 70 or one of the 12 come and help you out pretty much on how we can improve and be the best we can be. We had the opportunity to hear from Elder Costa, just a little back round info about him, we was called to the 70 in the year 1994, and has been doing so ever since, he has the most time in the 70 then whatever other person, so he´s pretty dang good when he comes to help you learn.

He started off talking to us about our potential we have, not only in our mission but also in our lives, and on how we can really know more about our potential in our life when we learn a very important lesson, that is that we area all children of God, the God that has done everything, created this earth where we live and countless others, who knows everything. We are all sons and daughters of God. When we learn that important lesson we can really start to grow, because we know that our Heavenly Father will help us do everything we need to do in this life, we just need to trust in him at all times.

That was his first little part of his talk, and then he passed the time over to his wife Sister Costa who is amazing also, and she talked about our missions, what happens before and during and after your mission, which is something interesting, she said that each of us enter the mission field as a child, and leave as a man, a real man.

I really thought that was interesting for me, when i came into the mission field i had a totally different view on what life is then what i view now, things that were important before aren´t as important, and things that weren´t on my priority list is more important then anything else. Then i thought of a sciptuture that the ctm president shared with us a while back.

Corinthian 13: 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

This is something that I´m trying to work on more during my time in the mission, how can i become more of a man, and do things that will help people in their life to hear of this amazing Gospel and the love of our Heavenly Father
