Subject: Great Weekend!
Hello
wonderful family and friends! I sure
hope life is going as great for you
all as it is for me right now! The past four days have been absolutely hectic and made me realize how blessed
we are to be alive in this world with a loving
Heavenly Father looking out for us above!
To
start off, I almost died Friday
night as we were out teaching a solid investigator about an hour from our house
and I started having trouble breathing.
I left my inhaler at the apartment and I didn’t want to leave this lesson early
and mess up the day, so I pushed through
it and endured the pain. It took forever
for a bus to pick us up and get home; all the while I was breathing less than is probably humanly possible.
We
got home and I used my inhaler and felt better, so we went back out and taught another one of our way solid investigators. (I’m willing to give my life for this work, in case you
haven’t figured that out yet).
So
I couldn’t really sleep that night
because I exhausted the power of my
lungs, and the next morning we went
to the hospital to get a breathing treatment. We waited FOREVER to get in
because they have socialized healthcare
here and everyone was getting treated for free...
VOTE AGAINST OBAMACARE! I promise it’s
not worth what they say it is...
Anyway,
to make a long story short, I missed a couple General Conference sessions because I was in and out of the hospital getting treated and having medicine
prescribed for me. So I am extremely thankful
for what I have in this life! You should be too!
On
Monday, we went to the airport in Rio to get our Visas taken care of and now we have identities in Brazil, so that’s good.
Tuesday
we had our first four weeks training
with the assistants and president Lima and that was amazing! We learned a ton
about how we can improve our teaching
and it really calmed me down. I have thought for the past four weeks that I was
the most worthless missionary ever because
I cant speak or understand the language, but being with the other Americans and
seeing that they’re at the same spot as
I am helped me realize that everything
is okay and things will get better!
We
didn’t really have much of a busy week with lessons because of conference and
everything, but I want to share my
testimony with you all that I
know this gospel is true. It blesses
people’s lives! I know the Atonement
of Jesus Christ helps us physically and spiritually. I testify that He does love us and wants us to be
happy 100% of the time! But in order to do that, we must be wiling to keep the commandments He established for us. They set us free from the pain and suffering
we experience when we sin and we are so
much happier when we are obedient! Remember, wickedness NEVER was
happiness!
Keep being awesome people and share the love with everyone you know! Read your scriptures and seek the guidance of the Lord in all
that you do! I love you all more
than you could ever possible know!
Love,
