The Savior Lives

Me and my ex-companion Elder Silva

I can’t tell you how great the zone conference was. I learned so much! The new mission president was announced; Elder Paulo C. and Nadia M. Loureiro. We talked a lot about things that are changing in the mission.

My current President, Pres. Lacerda and I had a good talk together, man I love that guy so much. He is so loving and Christlike. He loves rock and roll and his vinyl collection, but he loves nothing more than missionary work and the gospel.

The new president arrives in July. I’m excited but I am going to miss my president.

I played piano in sacrament (and I only messed up a little). It was the first time in I think 5 years since the last time I played, so that was exciting. Now all the members are asking to start a music class to learn to play. So we’ll see if all my years growing up singing and playing piano will pay off haha. 

I’m staying here another transfer and my new companion will be Elder Cunha. And I think I will be his last companion.

Every day before Elder Silva and I walk through the door, we bare our testimonies and I
know that the Savior lives. He is MY Savior and redeemer as well as todos nos (all of us).
I know that this church is true I can’t deny it. There is too much truth and too much light that comes from it to claim that it is not the church of Jesus Christ. We are children of God and each day the world tries to convince us that we are not. The only way we can know really for ourselves is to ask our Father in Heaven.

love you all so much
-Elder Sheffield
