Buuut these last few weeks have been incredible.... and super hard! Opposition in all things right? haha. As
of the work here, we're teaching a lot! Trying to find our friends! As
of right now we have 3 people for baptism this week. A young man (19
years old) "JV" who is super super quiet, he barely talks to us
but he seems to be understanding everything and he likes church a lot so
that's good! He prays and reads the things we ask him to read and pray
about. Super awesome! He's gone to church with us twice now and is just
missing 2 lessons to be baptized! We'll teach them this week and have
the baptism on Saturday!!! Woooo!
Then we have a young woman (14years old)
"R", who is super super eleita!!! She's perfect! She's a friend of a
member and has such a huge desire to be baptized! It's super cute!
Then
we have another young man (13 years old) "L", who is also super eleito,
but he struggles a lot because he thinks he's a huge failure to everyone.
it's super sad that that's how he sees himself.. We're working a lot with
him and his friend who have literally asked to be baptized! It's so cool
to see that young men of 12-13 years of age have the desire to change and be
better. He really understands the things we teach which is super super
awesome!!
Beyond this its a lot of friends of members or friends of our
investigators. But we also do a lot of street contacting too! Which is
much harder in my opinion, usually the people we meet in the streets
don't want anything do to with us. or they just want to be friends and
they don't want us to teach them. it's rough!
I
have been so blessed to be able to serve here and really love the
people here! I know that without a doubt, that this is the Church of
Christ that has been restored to the earth for us here in these Latter
days! I know that Joseph Smith was called of God and that he really was a
prophet of God! I am so so grateful for the chance I've had to serve as
a servant of God here in Brazil!
Love you all so much!

Belief is the reason we go on a mission. It is the motive for preaching about Christ and sharing/Proclaiming his love. Faith is understanding we are children of God and our Heavenly Father. May this defined and explained and Meaning of faith bless you on your mission bless your companion on their mission. Faith is defined again and because faith has an inherent joy it gives us a solid foundation that we finally have the peace we have been searching For.
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers"
