This New Year is an amazing chance each of us have to make goals! Use the SMART method, and make sure you'll be able to complete it! Make a goal out of this question:  "What can I do to become a Disciple of Christ this year?" Tell me about your goals!! Quick Recap! - I was able to go back to Caucaia for the baptism of Fábio!!

Don't hesitate to tall me all about it!! My hope for y’all is that you are finding more joy GIVING than RECEIVING! PENSAMENTO ESPIRITUAL I have a sticky note of a quote from President Russell M. Nelson that brings me so much joy. "the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives." - Joy and Spiritual Survival, Pres Nelson https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2016/10/joy-and-spiritual-survival?lang=eng We all know that the focus of Christmas is our Savior, Jesus Christ. "There is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. Behold, he is the life and the light of the world. Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness," (Alma 38:9). So how can He be the FOCUS of o...

PENSAMENTO ESPIRITUAL This week's Spiritual Thought comes from the missionary section of the Doctrine and Covenants, Section 4!! This was the topic of our District Counsel and I loved it!!  The main question was:  Qual é o custo de ser discípulo de Jesus Cristo?  (What is the price to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?) Verse 4 of secion 4 says,  "And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work." 1. Faith, "if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you" Matthew 17:20 2. Hope, "and after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to...

Smith, sixth President of the Church, provided an answer. Said he: “The grateful man sees so much in the world to be thankful for, and with him the good outweighs the evil. Love overpowers jealousy, and light drives darkness out of his life.” He continued: “Pride destroys our gratitude and sets up selfishness in its place. How much happier we are in the presence of a grateful and loving soul, and how careful we should be to cultivate, ...
