Zone Conference
I love what you had to say about Faith. That is perfect. True faith is when we just step into the dark not knowing what is going to happen but putting it in the Lords hands. That is way true Faith is so hard. Because with true faith we don't know what we are going to do, when we are going to do it, or how it will work. We put it into the Lords hands. It is hard at times to just put everything in his hands but that is what we need to do to live with him for time and all eternity. For when we take that first step into the dark that is when Christ lights up the rest of the way. If we never take the first step we just sit there lost in the dark and in the world of confusion. We all need to pray to have that faith, and work on that faith every day of our lives.
That will be great to have some visitors. It always helps to have a little company. Good thing is that we are never really alone. We always have God and Christ and Angels round about us. Also it helps that I have my comp with me 24/7. That is great. We are great friends. We actually study the scriptures together in Portuguese together on my hammock every day. haha. Weird I know but we only have one. We are already the best of friends.
So the meeting with Elder Claudio R M Costa and Elder Puerta was amazing. That whole conference our President of the mission called me and my companion to set it up. So we had to organize the other zones and get there early at the Church to set everything up. That was a lot of work. The most work came when everything showed up late. Our lunch was supposed to arrive at about 12:00 but didn't until about 1:00. So that was fun stalling with all the 80 missionaries that were there. Then also the counselor of our mission President arrived late. So when he got there we had to run around to help him out and to talk to all the missionaries. Then we had to organize where everyone sat. All this while giving a training class to our zone. Then we were called on to do a special music number in the middle of Elder Claudio R M Costa´s meeting with us. That was really great. We actually sang really good but I was really nervous. Then the coolest part: Me and my companion got to talk and converse with Elder Claudio R M Costa personally. We helped him get into the Church and walked him to the chapel. Then we just talked with him. He actually speaks really good English. Than during the whole meeting with him we had to run the microphone around the missionaries to answer and ask questions. Also Sister Costa talked with us. She is really great. She talked to us about a lot of things. She explained to us as well how we can pick our future wives. For the first hour Elder Costa let us ask any question we wanted. That was really spiritual and then he gave a talk. He told me and my comp of a place we have to eat at here in Santos. I am pretty excited to eat there. All around I was running around like mad for like the whole day. But that was a really fun day as well. I love staying busy. What a great day and week.
Well that is all for this week. Two of our investigators received the Gift of the Holy Ghost this week. That was really cool. They also became really good friends. They are the same age. I really hope they can help one another out. I really have a strong testimony about this church and gospel. I know that it is true. I really have no doubts in my mind. I love my savior and redeemer and know he is there for me. What a great knowledge it is to know you always will have someone on your side to help you out. God and Christ and the Holy Ghost will never leave our sides unless we leave there sides. They will always help unless we don't want help. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God and oh what a blessing it is to know that. I know that he knows the will of God and Jesus Christ. I love you all and I want you all to keep doing the little things in your life so that one day we can all live together again.
