Hey!!! Wow was this week a challenge hahaha i had to learn so much patience because my companion is so much different than i am. But other than that i know that the lord called me to train him for a purpose! I have been super stressed out lately with numbers, training, the district, baptisms, and basically everything ha but the lord has comforted me a lot! My companion is from São Paulo and he has an accent super different, he speaks like an italian gangster but in Portugues! Other than that he is older than i am and is 21 years old. He has been a member for 7 years and is the only member in his family. Its been fun this first week but it definitely has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. But he is super excited and i need to be too! I will definitely learn a lot of patience and faith in this transfer ha! But i am glad that everyone is ok and that Christy and her family were protected!
But I think the highlight of the week was the conference that we had with Elder Quentin L Cook, and wow was it absolutely amazing. First of all i got to shake his hand so that was super cool. But it just got so much better. The power that comes from his words is hard to describe. I also loved what his wife shared too! She talked about christ like attributes and how we can find so many in all of the hymns in the church, I had never thought about that before and i thought it was super cool. She also told us to Glory in the fact that we can do perfect things every day and that our very first convert needs to be us! She had a lot of power and you could feel the spirit. And then Elder Cook talked to us about so many things. He taught us a lot about faith, joy, and happiness and how those things can lead us to salvation and exaltation. Wow you can just tell that he is called of the lord and is a SPECIAL WITNESS of the lord Jesus Christ. Everything he told us was just amazing. He told us that what we are teaching can bring joy and happiness right now and salvation and exaltation in the world to come! He told us to share that with everyone we find. He also said that the mission is about strengthening your testimony and learning about the spirit. We can have faith to find the elects and we need to deepen our testimonies and love of the savior and then share it with everyone we find. It was amazing. He also said that the mission isnt all about the number of baptisms that you have, but it is about the faith and the effort that you put in. Then he gave us a blessing that only 15 people on this earth can give and it was just so powerful. Wow i love the gospel! I know that his is one of the lords apostles and i know that President Nelson is a prophet of god. This is his work and his glory and this is where we can find Joy and Happiness. I know the book of mormon is true and i know that my savior lives and loves us! I love you all!
