One of my top 5 favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon is Mosiah 2!  King Benjamin is probably the best king that has ever ruled on the earth. King Benjamin was one who served God by serving his people and teaching them to serve one another. When King Benjamin was nearing the end of his life, he asked his son Mosiah to call the Nephite people together so he could speak to them. They gathered in families at the temple to listen to King Benjamin. One truth we can learn from King Benjamin is that “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.” "We look to the Savior as our example of service. Although He came to earth as the Son of God, He humbly served those around Him. He came forth from heaven to live on earth as mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God. His glorious gospel reshaped the thinking of the world. He blessed the sick; He caused the lame to wal...

What's up yall! Beleza? Hope you guys are experiencing daily miracles!! Reach out and tell me about em! PENSAMENTO ESPIRITUAL  《Jacob 1:19 《DC 107:99-100 《Jacob 6:2-3 《1 Nephi 13:37 WHAT WE CAN CONTROL 1. Thoughts 2. Feelings 3. Actions and reactions Above are the notes I took from District Counsel yesterday, and I love this topic that Elder Madsen chose.  My Dad has always talked about "magnifying your calling". I've had a couple callings before, like Quorom Presidents, Secretary, Bishop Assistant, and the magnification of my calling was different each time.  But what does "magnifying your calling" really mean? I love the word "diligence" that is repeated in the scriptures that I shared above. Diligence: conscientiousness in paying proper attention to a task; giving the degree of care required in a given situation. Persevering determination to perform a task. When we magnify our calling, it is our focus. It is what we think about and pray for dail...

What's up y'all!! Beleza? Hope you all are having DAILY spiritual experiences!! Read your Scriptures! Say your Prayers!! They work! SPIRITUAL THOUGHT Imma do the spiritual thoughts first cuz it's way more important.  Anyways, President Hunt during our Conferência de Zona shared the talk President Russell M. Nelson gave during a meeting with Mission Presidents of Brazil. It's called "O poder de conversão do Livro de Mormon" or "The Converting Power of the Book of Mormon". I can't find it in Gospel Library, its probably not published. And the only copies I have are in Portuguese. However! I testify that the Converting Power of the Book of Mormon is SO REAL. Reading this incredible book, the "the most correct of any book on earth", every day has had a huge impact on me. President Russell M. Nelson has promised: “As you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder wh...
