Man was this week a different week for me. I think most of you know that the week was different because we went on a temple trip Wensday, so our P-day moved which pretty much threw off the whole work. But it was worth it. The temple here isn´t very big, it was one of  the mini temples that the Profit Gorden B. Hinkley did to bless the lives of many.

The cool thing that happened for us is that our mission president. ( Presidente Cruz, the best missin president that you could ask for) ran everything for us. Normally he doesn´t do that for the other missionarys, but we had the chance to see him there in the temple leading and guiding us in everything that we do. 

That happened on Wensday for me, then i spent the next two days in a different area because we went of splits for a little bit. So my LD worked in my area while i working in his. i had a chance to work with a Elder Mana, whose from Salt lake, He´s pretty new on the mission and only has 6 months in the field. So i spent these two days helping out in his area and with his Portuguese, which is also fun to learn. We spent two days knocking on doors and spent pretty much one day without anything. But one thing that our mission President had us do during this week is look for the mircules in things, and that´s what i tried to do. We might not have entered all the houses or even one house, but one thing that we had was good weather and did everything we could do to help our brothers and sisters learn more about this amazing gosple that our Father in Heaven has for us. 

I wanted to share more but I´m running out of time, just wanted to say that during this week everybody look for the miricules that God has for you in your life. It doesn´t matter what´s going on in your life God always has a miricule for you every day.

Faith

What a crazy week has it been down here in brasil. The life as a missionary is pretty much this, you don´t have much of a life, you are running from house to house trying to find people to teach or teaching people. IT also good becasue you don´t have time to think about yourself, you are always thinking about how you can help others come unto Christ, and you you learn that you learn realize what you need to change in your life to come unto Christ.

This week was intersting during my personal study, last monday our Mission President, Presidente Cruz gave us a assinment to study to say the least, he wanted us to study Christ´s atributes, (or something like that in English, I honestly don´t remember right now...) But this is something really interesting to study, it´s werid because every little atribute of Christ is tied in with another, when you learn one you are contenstly working on other and contenstly working on coming unto Christ. But something intersting is how it all starts with a little thing called faith, faith is a interseting topic and has a lot of meaning to it, but something i really like how explain faith is with two words, some wtih a disire, and others wtih hope. When we have a disier for something we are going to have to put in some work to find the anwer, we are going to have to put in some work to get what we want, we can´t just want something and sit there and wait for something to happen. This works with fatih becasue faith isn´t just waiting for something to happen, but we have to do our part to make things work. And then with hope we have a surity that things will work out in the end. we know that God will do what´s right and always have hope in the time that things work out. 

It was interesting how that works with missionary work to me, when you are out on the mission it can be hard, like really hard, you have days you feel like you tried everything but nothing seems to work out. But when we keep our faith and trust in the Lord, things will always work out in the end.

 

I`m not going to be able to email today. i have p day wensday this week

Joy

Wow has it been one crazy ride these last couple of weeks, just a quick update on what´s been going on last week we had a emergency transfer because of some mix ups in the office here so I ended up leaving the little city of Canguçu to the big city everyone talks about in Porto Alegre. And man has it been one big change. The life back in Canguçu is the slow life, almost nobody has cars there and you have one bus that takes you around the city and just a really slow life. To the new big city in Porto Alegre where everyone has cars here, theres a bus pretty much for every person and everything is in a rush.

But it´s been a good change for me. Things have been going really good in this area because it´s one really blessed area to work in, the people here are just ready to hear the gosple and are willing to hear and accept the gosple in their lives. 

But one of the highlights of the week was yesterday at church, we had a stake conferce at church where Dallin H. Oaks came to talk to us with his wife and some member of the 70, and man was that a great day. All of the talks where about the same topic, on how we can have joy during any moment in our lifes. And i realized how true that is, because the gosple helps you feel joy during all the moments in our life, we have a message of joy and love to share with everyone and when we look for that and look for our Savior Jesus Christ we are going to find that joy in our lifes. 

But one member of the 70 gave us a good invitaion to do, he had this question for us and it´s a good one i must say he asked. Who is Jesus Christ for you? What do you think of when you think of Christ? That´s the quesiton that I want everyone to think about and search for during this week. And when we find that answer we are going to find more Joy in our lifes.
