Boa tarde!
This week was seriously super tiring and trying but
we’ve survived and that’s the main thing.
We had mission council this week. Was cool to be
able to see Elder Gabbitas, Elder Meza, Elder Jonhson and all them. Always cool
to be with good people. We talked a lot about how we can be better inviters and
helping people to understand the blessing we receive or lose by keeping or not
keeping the commandments. We got to catch the train home with Elder Meza and
those guys, so was fun to laugh with them and stuff. Only junk thing was that
we woke up at 4:30am to get to the council on time, and we didn’t get home til like
10pm, so we were super exhausted.
Of course, the next day was even more stressful
planning out the zone meeting and stuff, having to organize the requests for
the all the areas, setting up the chapel, and then moving chapels cuz our
chapel didn’t have a computer we could use. Once more, didn’t get home till
like 11pm.
Next day was the actual zone conference. Went down
well. We went over time little bit, but was all good. I felt like the
missionaries understood what we hoped they understood and are excited to do
better. Was soooo happy when it was all over.
We were supposed to have our customary interview with
Presidente this week, but that got cancelled at the last minute. We’ll see if
we get um this week.
We also had stake conference which was cool, and
Elder Herbertson of the Seventy was presiding. He’s Scottish so was cool to
hear his accent. He gave a great talk about the importance of staying on the
path, getting back on the path, and being an example. The most important thing
is that we are on the path and moving forward, and not to compare yourself to
anyone, cuz you always come off worse. Was good.
Amongst all the craziness, we’ve been being blest
with new people to teach, and opportunities to share the gospel. We marked Edmilson
to be baptized on the 25th of Febuary. We read 2 Nephi 31 with him and he
recognizes the importance of following Jesus Christ. I invited him to be baptized
and he’s like um...nah. I’m like do you trust in God, he’s like yeah, so I’m
like let’s pray and you ask him if you should. So we do, and then Elder Casper
shares Galatians 5:22 and Edmilson is like I felt peace. So I re-invite him and
he says yes!!! The Spirit is the teacher! Sadly, he didn’t go to church even
though he said he would, so we’ll see how he’s going. We also have a few people
who are showing some promise, including this one African family!
Family, I love you all soooo much! hope you all have
a good week. Keep up the great work, and go Vikings!
com amor,
Elder Kim
