Thank you so much for the package!!!! I know it seems expensive sending the package and having to pay again.... but just the taste of those Reece's cookies, peanut butter, American BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!! SWEEDISH FISH!!!!!!!!!! It is worth all the money in the world!!!!! I have been making pancakes everyday with peanut butter!!!! :) I found another way to not have to pay for the packages. The reason I have to pay is because the price of everything inside. it was about 75 this last time.... But what missionaries are starting to do is.... the family can split the package into two. Because if the packages are separated, individually it costs 35 dollars and it should pass. Anytime you want to test it... feel free ;)
I loved the guitar music as well. Now when we sing hymns I am
playing along too! I think I will play a special musical number at a
baptism this week too!!! :) Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like everything is going awesomely at our house! With
the baby on her way, that has gotta be crazy exciting! We have a member
in our ward that has a date for the 22nd of August! It is so crazy to
think we will have another family member!!!
This week was an awesome week! I have two highlights that I would like to share with you!!!
1. We found a family just doing a contact in the street. A family
that has stopped going to church for almost five years. We started
teaching them and the dad served a mission and the parents were sealed
in the temple. But the four children never were baptized. We taught them
the restoration and we had a really cool experience. We really tried to
involve the father in the lesson to get his missionary fire back. Until
we started to read James 1:5 and the father quoted it. Then explained
the whole vision and story of the restoration to his children. It was a
really emotional lesson to see this father teach his children about what
he knows to be true! They all went to church for the first time in five
years too!!!
2 I finished my study of the Book of Mormon in Portuguese this
week. I finished the last chapter of Moroni and I had this strong
feeling to go to my bed and say a prayer about the Book of Mormon. I
stopped and thought... why do I need to pray about it if I already know
that it is true? But I decided why not :) SO I went and said a prayer. I
felt this strong desire to pray... but when I knelt down I did not feel
a thing.... I sat on my bed and thought.... why would I have such a
strong desire to pray and then not even feel anything during my prayer.
But then I remembered that Our heavenly father responds our prayers in
his time. So I went back to studying, then we went to comp study. After
that Elder Carreira (lives with us) came in and gave me a piece of
paper. He said that he felt inspired to write this paper to me. The
whole paper was about answers to prayers. This note that he gave to me
was my answer to my prayer. It was incredible. I felt so good reading
the letter he wrote me. I know without a doubt in my heart that the Book
of Mormon is the word of God. And that through him we have the fullness
of the gospel. I know that our Heavenly Father always answers our
prayers, we just need to listen and be patient to receive the answer.
