If you look closely, you will see monkeys in the last two pictures. Halli, you requested those so here you are 😊
Since so many of you have asked, I combined David's email and mine this week. It was so great talking to Andrew. He is so happy serving the Lord in Brazil!
Happy Mothers day again!! Hahahah I loved talking to you all too! It was amazing to see everyone together and i was happy that i got to joke around and talk with each one of you! I Loved everyone joking too! Because it reminded me of old times, but i am glad that i was able to talk to you all!
Thank you so much for sharing those things with me dad! i loved what you said about kneeling and turning the work over to the lord. I am going to try that with my companion this week and i know that he will use us in HIS work. I love the gospel so much and i know that the gospel will bless the lives of our investigators. We have Gian, simone, Flaisa, and Ivanilton and i know that the lord will bless each one of them according to their needs.
I loved the scripture that you used!! I know that the lord will provide miracles in our lives and i know that he will provide the people who are needing this gospel and who need to feel his love! what Elder Alonzo said is true. I talk about you all the time because of the example you show me everyday. You are the best dad that any kid could ever have! I am always praying for you too and i know that the lord is blessing all of you because of the work i am doing for him!
I know i can be an instrument in his hands and i know that this gospel is true. The book of mormon is really a treasue that each of us need to keep with us and ready every day so that we can strengthen our testimonies and our knowledge!! I also know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of god and that Russell M Nelson is a prophet of god! the lord guides his church and directs it today. And we can all grow more to be like him.! I loved talking with you and i wish we had more time. But i know that the lord needs me here in Brasil, my other home!
I love baring testimony about the book of mormon too because it is so wonderful. I think i have asked "what lacks yet?" many times but the Lord is showing me time and time again what more i need to do! But thank you so much for what you shared. I loved what you said and that we can all be more obedient to the lord and then he will give us the blessings that are waiting for us! I love the scripture D&C 98:2-3, because the Lord is going to answer our prayers but it will be in his time and acording to his will! That is so cool that Nick Rimando got his 200th win! I wish i could have seen that video! I miss watching real salt lake! Elder Alonzo is super awesome. I love working with him because he works so hard and is super funny. We are very much alike. He loved the tie that he got and dont worry i will use the money only when i really need it. I think i will have to use it today ha! We literally have no food at home! And i will be looking for epsom salts here soon, dont worry i will find them and start using it!
This week was super cool for me because i was able to do two Baptismal Interviews. Anderson, who was baptized in Progresso. And Artur who was baptized in Alvorada with the sisters. Each interview was super spiritual because we read Mosiah 18 and we talked about the importance of Baptism, and then i asked them to bare their testimonies about the gospel and the book of mormon and i could feel that each one of them was prepared to be baptized. They were both baptized and confirmed and the spirit was super strong for them! I think it is amazing how the gospel really changes lives and how each one of us can find happiness through this gospel! I love being able to tell people that and ask them if they want happiness in their lives and its sad when they say no to us, but amazing when they say yes! Simone is doing great and she is understanding more about Baptism, we didnt get to see her this week which was sad but she went to church close to her work and we are planning on seeing her today. Gian is getting home today from his trip and we hope that he is still wanting to continue with this wonderful gospel. Pray for Ivanilton so that he can be married as soon as possible because he wants to be baptized!! And we have a couple of other people that want to learn more! Flaisa is super cool and she is going to be praying about the book of mormon and she really wants to know! I love it when people have real intent because it makes the experience so much better!! I love the gospel and i know that it is true!! I know that this is the true church and i know that because i have felt it in my heart! The spirit testified to me and i can not deny it!!! Love you all!!!
The notebook depends on when it will get here... because she goes home here soon and if you will send it with my package then she wont get it in time, but if that is the case you can still send it for me haha. If you are almost over weight with the package and then you dont need to put more things in!! But thank you so much for everything and tell everyone in the family that i love them! I wish i could have talked with each one a little bit more, but i hope you all liked talking with me!!! Love you so much !! I am so grateful to have you in my life. I wouldnt want anyone else for a mom because i know you are the best!! Thank you for everything you have done for me in my life. Really i didnt doubt for my mother knew it! LOVE YOU
Elder Bestenlehner
