Miricules

It´s been a while but how´s everyone doing back in the good old USA? As far as things here in Brazil things are going good duirng this hot winter. I´ve never had a winter in my life where i was dying from the heat until i came here in Brazil.

As far as the past little while we are doing the same thing as always workin hard and teaching the Gospel, who could ask for a better life then this. 

We sent this week trying to find new people to teach, the old teaching group we had wasn´t really progressing so we had to let a lot of people go to find the right group to teach. We spent the first 3 days of the week knocking on doors and getting a lot of no´s, i know it´s hard to bealive people don´t want amaricans talking to them in Português about the Gospel but it happens a lot here. After the mission i think I´m going to have PTSD and never knocking on a door again because of the no´s, but as far as right now we have a work to do and that´s part of the work. 

After three days of a lot of no´s we ented into Thursday trying to keep our heads up strong to teach some people  we had a miricule of a day where everything seemed to work out right and everywhere we knocking seemed to answer the door and felt the spirt during out lessons, and that kept going until saturday. 

Sunday we had big plans with bringing people to church but when we went to go pick up everyone nothing went right, it´s one of the saddest moments when you go to church empty handed after a good week of work because you feel like you did all that work for nothing. 

As i was thinking about that and praying to my Heavenly Father about this before our sacroment meeting he put a Mircule in our path with someone that has come to church more then one time and has had the missinarys before, and pretty much everything pefect to a missionary, So we wrote down her adress are going to vist her this week. So hopefully things work out when we go there.

That really made me think about how God always hears our prayers and is always lisiting to us, he is our Father in Heaven and knows how we feel, he always wants to help us out but he always wants up to learn in grow, when we do everything possible to do something we want that´s when we are going to get these mircules in our life at the time we need it. Always trust that thing will work out right and always work to put in your part.

The life of a missioary is a good life to say the least. Not because the life of a missniary is easy, it´s quite the oposite actually. It´s a good life because of what we get to do everyday, what we do is look to help others feel the love that God has for us. We get to help all sorts of people learn that true church of Christ on this earth. But what does all this mean in our lifes. I want to share two experiancias from this week to explain a little bit more about what happened.

The first experience I want to share is from one investigator that´s been having a rough time in her life, we went into the lesson ready to teach about eternal familys and the plan of salvation. But we eneded up teaching a lesson really different, as we started talking she started opening up to us with everything, during this moment we talked about how God knows and loves her, and about how she can feel Gods love for her and how we can always ask for help to our Father in Henven. Just a small lesson that made a big differerce for her during that moment, 

The second lesson happened with a less active member of the church, the same thing happened where she opened up to us with everything that´s going on looking for some light of hope, something to help her in her life. This time we taught a different lesson with her, about three things, prayer, scripture study, and church attendence. How when we do these little things we will be blessed in our lifes, Then we left two captiers in the Book of Mormon to read, in Captiers 21 and 22 of the Book of Mosiha. I spent my personal study today reading with her situation in mind, and this changed everything for me with the story. There you have the people of the kind in a dificult situation, where the laminites are making their lilfe a rought life. What the people tried to do at this moment was use the strenght that they thought they had to overcome the laminties, but ended up worse then before. They did this three times before they learned their lesson. After the thrid time they went to war with the laminites they humbled themselfs before God and asked for help. During this moment God helped them out with their hard times, they weren´t made free from their trails but made it so that they could prosper in the land a little bit more. 

I´m out of time this week but i wanted to share with everyone that in our trials we can turn to God for help and he will always help us.
