I am learning a lot of patience and humility.

How are you my beautiful family?!!?!?

After a long day at the mission office
Yesterday we got together as the missionaries of Juiz de Fora at the church and got to hear a live devotional with the prophet who went to Brasilia, the Brasilian capital and he talked to the missionaries serving in the whole country.
IT WAS SO GREAT! We heard from Elder Aidukaitis (Area Presidente of Brasil) his wife, Elder Cook and his wife, Mark Woodruff (The prophets secretary- AWESME STORY who by chance was also was my mission prep teacher when I was at BYU- how cool right?!!!)
I loved the talk by Wendy Nelson. She is so educated and the way she talked, you felt the strength she had and the testimony she had of the sacred callings in the church.
Russel M Nelson taught some amazing things to us.  He talked a lot about the importance of sharing of Christ’s ministry in ancient America. He read with us and talked about not having fear in the work. We learned so much.

We are teaching a man Elpidio and he is going to be baptized on the 7th!!!! He is so great, I’m so excited for him. He’s reading the “Book of Mormon” and “Saints” and is going to church and institute. He is so prepared for the church.

We had a lot of work to finish off the month just a little stress hahaha.

Ate lunch with a member family on Sunday (the elder
in the front and on my left are the assistants)
I love the gospel, I love this mission.
I love to get to know so many new people everyday. 
I loved hearing from the Prophet of God on the earth. 
I love feeling the holy spirit of God that teaches all things that are true!

D&C 31
Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare aglad tidings of great joy unto this generation. 
Yea, I will aopen the hearts of the people, and they will receive you. And I will establish a church by your hand;
And you shall astrengthen them and prepare them against the time when they shall be gathered.
 Be apatient in bafflictions, crevile not against those that revile. Govern your dhouse in meekness, and be esteadfast.

2/8/20 Hey my familão Transfers this week and here are the Highlights: We got to see some awesome missionaries finish their missions! The new missionaries are great! I actually know one of the sisters from home. Sister Ramirez she's a friend of Jordan and Blake Andersons family, and she went on trek with our ward a couple years back! She's already speaking Portuguese so well!!  There is a 7 foot Brazilian Elder who almost played basketball, but came on a mission instead. Ssooo huge yeah!!! We went to the bus station at 5 in the morning and I got to hang out with the new missionaries catching buses, so that was cool to talk with them more. They speak a few words, but have strong simple testimonies and are so excited to just go out and DO! Elder Pinkston broke his foot and so now will be living with us until he gets his medical exams done and heals up a little. He's from American Fork and is an awesome guy! He works in a hardwoo...

We worked our butts off this week and it was great. We are in a branch here but it has a lot more members than my last area. And we eat lunch with members every day. This week we spent so much time looking for people. I’m helping my  companion get over his fear to start a conversation with strangers . H e is a great guy. Just quiet. We are trying to visit all of the less active members and updating "The LIST". We visited some people that hadn’t been to church in months. Some haven’t been in almost a year. I said to my companion that I would ask one guy to help us get to know the neighborhood and find some friends here. My companion said, “there is no way that he will want to help us”. But when we gave him a short lesson, shared testimonies and then asked him to come with us for the day, he said: “for sure”. We met a bunch of people and he bore his testimony of the church and the Book of Mormon and prayer. As a missionary, you have to be bold you have to invite with c...
