This week!!!!!!!! So next week we will be watching general conference!! But I already listened to all the sessions for my language study because I was so excited!! Lots of changes and lots of revelation! Just a good reminder that our Prophet really is guided by the Lord and that the work is continuing to be hastened. Wow lots of temples!! and the Ministering sounds amazing!! Really was so cool. Every member is a missionary and this church isn't a Sunday church, its everyday. So we need to all make an effort to minister. And that's super cool. The spirit was so strong when he announced the temples!! Glad the Layton's are being blessed!! The Gospel is spreading all over the world, and to Russia and India!!! WHAT! but I loved all the talks! Learned that Elder Christofferson speaks Portuguese, that was fun to listen to. Also St. George had a lot of shout outs in the talks, truly must be the best.
So some things that happened this week. We taught an awesome lesson about the restoration and the Book of Mormon to nosso amigo Amilai. He was sincere in the visit and asked some really good questions. "Why is there sadness here in the world if God is loving? Why is there drugs? Why?? Is it true that sadness is part of this plan???" Just sincere questions that he had been asking himself. So we had an awesome lesson with him and then introduced him to the Book of Mormon, and wow he had one of the best reactions to receiving the Book of Mormon. He started to cry after he realized that he could keep the book. Partly because I think he was just super grateful for owning a book, but secondly because It was just a super spiritual lesson that the Book of Mormon can act as our map that will lead us to happiness, and he just really wanted that so he was super excited. He even showed up to watch a baptism the next day and was blown away by the beauty and spirit of our chapel, which is just a rented house right now. A really special guy. I'm super excited for him. Just 19 years old. What a guy. We found him sitting outside his grandmas house one day and just stopped to talk to him. Truly prepared :)
So a super good week!! LOVED the music of general conference, Marshall McDonald, who writes all my favorite piano music conducted the music of one of the sessions so claro que gostei. Super grateful for the Prophet, and was super humbled to sustain him. Super grateful for temples. Take advantage of them. the work is hastening on both sides of the veil. Really liked how President Nelson invited all children of God, on both sides of the veil, to come unto Christ. The gospel is true!!
