Oi! What a great week it has been!
It certainly felt like a long one, but me and my whole district have learned so much. We are really progressing really fast in portuguese and it has been great to see how God has blessed us. We are getting pretty good at teaching the lessons and talking to people.
I got my flight itinerary this week too! I leave the 22 of July for Kansas. I am very excited to get to serve the people of Kansas. Besides that it was a pretty regular week. We had some fun classes. We had some very hard classes, but they are also fun. Sometimes.
One of the scriptures I have really enjoyed this week is Alma 7:12. It provides an answer to a question that I often think about: How can Christ be so merciful and loving to everyone around, even those people who want to kill him and how can we develop that same love? The scripture says “And he will take upon him adeath, that he may bloose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to csuccor his people according to their infirmities.” I love this scripture because it shows the love that Christ has for us and how He got it. It says that He took upon Himself their infirmities so He can be filled with mercy. To be filled with mercy, to be filled with that Love of all men, He decided to serve others. He gave his all to them and he grew to love, understand, and appreciate them. I know that as we serve our fellow man we will be filled with the same love that Christ has for all people.
And now it is time for pictures!
Also our fun game of pictionary. The word was caranguejo (crab)
This one was also our pictionary game. It was great until elder stocking ran out of space for the head it was supposed to be a canguru (kangaroo)
Our fun game of "pictionary" in comp language study the word was pure de Batata (Mashed potato
This is our class practicing giving the first lesson in Portuguese in 30 seconds. But our teacher showed off by doing the first lesson in Portuguese, Spanish and English, in under 30 seconds each. But this was the result.
Well this is it for this week. One week left in the CTM! I love you all!
Sincerely,
Elder Sant
