God wants people who "love the right"

Soooo… Monday, I worked with my Companion Elder Gonzalez and all the rest of the days I had splits with someone different everyday. 
Life in the mission HQ is like that. There’s always something going on and there is always someone visiting from a different city.

Vocês viram os novos videos do livro de mormon!!!!!!!! legal né! (You seen the new Book of Mormon videos? Cool huh!!)

Give Davis um Grande Abraço!!! (a big hug)

Its crazy that its snowing in Utah.  IT IS SO HOT THESE DAYS!

I worked a few days with Elder Rodrigues from Liverpool, England. He is a funny guy that loves rugby.

Elder Coelho is the executive secretary. We got to teach an awesome couple, Daniela and Nilton. They lost a brother and their father last year and her mother a few months ago and Nilton lost his restaurant a few weeks ago so they have been really prepared and really tested. We taught plan of salvation and we returned and taught about the restoracion (yeahget that word right) restoration.

I also worked with my old companion Elder Sousa and we had so many little miracles. 
We went to visit some families. With Adriane, she was baptized some weeks ago and she always brings her two little girls with her. They are so funny and love to help the missionaries. One of the girls said “mom why can’t the missionaries live here with us.” hahah

I was listening to some old conference talks and I felt so many things that I can do better.
I love that about the mission. It is about learning to be humble, its taking the people at their most self-centered stage and saying “screw your head on and JUST THINK ABOUT OTHERS”. I loving growing and it’s even better helping someone else take their first steps to growing and getting better.

I know that the power and the plan and the purpose of God is this helping us get better.
I love what I read in D&C 124:15. God just wants people who "love the right".
I have so much more desire to be someone who loves the right and be someone who has a hunger and thirst for righteousness.

I love this mission!

22Feb 20  This week was great. Full of ups and downs. But as the end of the week came, there were a lot more up then there were downs.  Here on the mission I have come to recognize the spirit so much more. We feel the holy spirit to confirm truth and testify of God. God has given so many blessings to us that we might have this spirit to be with us. What a great promise! The spirit guides and prompts us in our lives and to have Gods direction in our lives. Everyone can feel a little bit of this divine power helping us on our way, but those who are baptized and receive the holy ghost by the laying on of hands can feel the true gift of the holy spirit. As I have strived, failed, gotten up and strived again to be a true messenger of the restored gospel, I have felt the holy spirit playing his role in this work of God’s. I felt the spirit this week while teaching a man about the story of the Book of Mormon on his doorstep. I felt His power te...

What's really important

Mar 20, 2020 Dear Famil y  So just starting off, It's so good to hear from you and I couldn't be safer or better. We're tucked away in the little mountain cities of brasil. I know why God called me right here for this time right now.  Everyone is going a little crazy, stressed out, paranoid here but in the mission everything is amazing we are working our buns off in the service of the Lord.  Preparing missionaries, tracking buses, and flights and everything, helping the missionaries rally around the members and use the tools they have better.  This is the most exciting time to be a missionary! haha  Presidente called us to put together a war room, where we can make plans, so in a couple hours we got all of the phone lines that we had working, a couple whiteboards and started making plans and calling all of the missionaries.  We are keeping an eye on everything. It's exciting to be in the middle of the action...
