Week 55 - Santarem

 

Hey everyone! Tudo bem!?

This week we had divisions with some of the other elders in Santarém and it was pretty great! I stayed in their area for almost all week. I left my area monday and returned saturday. I enjoued it, its always great working with other elders. Always a lot of fun, a lot of miracles and a lot things learned. 

As I said I returned Saturday and I have to say, Brasil is amazing! I love working with all of these people and seeing the miracles that they perform by faith, its incredible! 

Monday we also hiked the mountain on the other said of the city. Its not the rocky mountains, but it was still beautiful and it gave us a great view of the city. I enjoyed it a lot. 

We also dif some service monday. We went over to a members house because he asked for help. So the member walks us to tje back of his yard where there are two trees. He then hands us two old machetes and says "get to work" so with the two machetes we trimmed and cut down the two trees! It was honestly pretty fun! 

This week I read in Alma 26 and I love how he started, he said "And now, I ask, what great blessings has he bestowed upon us? Can ye tell?" God really has bestowed marvelous blessings upon us! He is blessing us in our everyday life and we need to be wise enough to look for it. Life is hard and difficult, everyone has challenges. But just because life is hard and difficult does not mean we aren't getting blessed. Sometimes we need to be humble and look for those blessings, cause they're there. Also y'all should read Alma 26, cause its really good. 

That is about all for this week, and now pictures!
