ONE YEAR, Fourth Of July - SEMANA CINQUENTA E DOIS

Eai meu povo!

I hit one year today! Livin it up in São Paulo as one of God's Celetial Forces - makes me the happiest man on Earth! I miss y'all!!

PENSAMENTO ESPIRITUAL!!

"Now, while this upcoming decade may be filled with days never to be forgotten for every member of the Church, this especially can be true for you of the rising generation. You are here on earth now because you were selected to be here now. You have the strength and capacity to be disciples of Christ in an unprecedented way. 
President George Q. Cannon taught, “God has reserved spirits for this dispensation who have the courage and determination to face the world and all the powers of the evil one [and to] … build up the Zion of our God fearless of all consequences.” To that end, I wish to speak to you of the rising generation, to invite you to imagine how exciting this next decade, one never to be forgotten, can be for you."

The past year has been a blast of pure spiritual enlightenment and growth! I can't wait to see what the next year brings. I will work harder than ever, and improve each day.

WEEKLY RECAP

Lots and lots of finding! Small areas always have a bit of a struggle finding new people but Elder Hamann and I have been on the grind and we've found some awesome new families!!
Rain, wind, cold, just loving this São Paulo weather 

Love y'all so much!!

Hope you enjoy reading! Sorry it's long, but each day is just FULL of amazing experiences!! Tuesday PDay! I was able to talk to Mom, and figured out a good schedule so I could talk to my siblings and see how they're doing! After speaking with Mom, I opened my Book of Mormon/Livro de Mórmon side by side, and started reading as usual. I first read the chapter out loud in English, listen to it in Portuguese, then read it out loud in Portuguese. I started to read out loud in English and I started choking up, because I felt the Spirit so strongly. Of course the chapter I was reading was 1 Nephi 16. This is the chapter where the Liahona is discovered, Nephi breaks his bow, Ishmael dies, contention arises, and the Lord intervenes. I can't really put it into words, but it was exactly what I needed to hea...

Happy Mother's Day to all who bear the sacred title of Mother!! Especially to my wonderful Mother, who I love so dearly!! PENSAMENTO ESPIRITUAL  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mother dear, I love you so.  Your happy, smiling face  Is such a joy to look at;  It makes home a lovely place. Mother dear, I love you so.  Your lovely, shining eyes  Are just like stars that twinkle  Way up in the bright blue skies. Mother dear, I love you so.  I’ll try the whole day through  To please our Heav’nly Father.  I’m so glad he gave me you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my favorite Mother's Day song, and I have been singing it in my head this whole week. I hope we all had an opportunity to celebrate the incredible sacrifices all of our mothers make to show us how much they love us. They have a divine role and purpose, and they are very good at it. Especially mine.   Love you so much Mom. WEEK RECAP! We were able to have Adriano's baptism this Sunday! ...
