So I didn’t write yesterday, sorry. I was in the main city of my mission Vitoria to get my papers finalized so I can live here and not worry if a police coming up to me, because now they can’t deport me! ya! ha-ha so other than that it been a really good week, we had a lot of investigator come to church, a lot of them little children but that’s still great! They stay and after some asked me (because they all want to learn English when I want to learn Portuguese) how to say in English they liked church this morning. That made me feel good!
I talked in some lessons this week! granted it wasn’t long and didn’t make much sense to the people, but I did it, I need to get over the ‘ I don’t know the language so I’m not going to speak’ because the only way we can learn is by trying to do it! though, not to blow my own horn or anything, I’m getting pretty good at prayers that make sense, because in every meeting and in every lesson people always ask me to pray (or if they ask someone else they say I give good prayers. I don’t know how to say, I said a prayer one hundred times today) but it’s good, I need every opportunity to talk to my father in heaven, prayer is so important in my life right now. Its crazy to think about. I pray all the time, in my head or out loud. And I know that is what keeps my spirits up most of the days here. The peace and love you get from a prayer is so awesome. I love it.
Conversation with other missionary that don’t speak English are getting longer, and my companion, that is learning English, when I trying to describe a word, I can say the word (sometimes) in English, (thou he is really good at English right now). So progress!
Today, I just want people to remember to pray in their hearts. It is -probably my favorite type of prayer right now. Because you just talk you can just let all your worries and all or your stress and all of your joy and everything flow and go to God. And he will give you peace, joy, and blessing untold. I promise that! You are important to God. So keep a prayer in your heart at all times, because, that keep God in your heart at all times.
Well lessons, I am starting to understand some. Still working on that. I know that they are really trying, and some of the quietest people, you can see it the messages touch them the most. Hopefully we can get all of them to come back to church next week, and get baptized! Woot! Well, I sure I forgot stuff, but I think that all for this week!
Love you all a bunch! Pray always! And enjoy insanity and peace!
