Transfers

Olá,

Wednesday we worked in São Mateus, had a good day there. At the end we were close to the bus station with 5 more minutes and we were determined to find someone to teach. I had a feeling to walk to a road then I saw a house with lights on and we went to knock it, and they immediately let us in, we just briefly explained the Book of Mormon and gave them a copy! Leaving their house going to the bus station, we got a call from a random number her name was Lina and said she wanted to learn about the Mormon church, that has never happened, Miracles!

We are working with Margarida, Sara´s Mom. she is doing really well and liking the Book of Mormon.

Francisco and Bruna are making progress, last time we talked about eternal families and this time they had a lot of questions for us and were anxious to learn more about the authority to seal families for eternity and how it is here on the earth. Families are forever, the church is true!

After talking with our Branch Presidente, An addiction recovery class has been started here in the branch, it will be a blessing for many.

I have been on the Açores for 2-6 week transfers and will stay one more with Élder Tanner. Élder Noad will return to Lisbon and serve in Tejo. I feel so lucky to serve here for another transfer!

Tchau.

Conferencia de Zona

Olá,

President let the missionaries see Russel M. Nelson´s message and the announcement of the new first presidency. Dallin H. Oaks will be a great counsel to our Prophet Russel M. Nelson. I found it interesting to see the media's "worldy questions" and the first presidency's Gospel responses and to see how much more intelligent they are.

We had Zone Conference in São Miguel, left on Thursday morning and returned Saturday morning so our work week was cut a little short. We learned about the power Plan of Salvation, Presidente and Sister Tavares responded lots of our questions about teaching it.

I have realized the of the little things of the gospel for example, a kid in Primary could confound a Pastor with the 5th Article of Faith. “We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.”

Sara and Veronica are doing really well as new members, Sara has already read over 400 pages in the Book of Mormon!

We have been working with a few new members and preparing them to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood, Patriarchal Blessing and eventually go to the temple. Last night along with the sacrament with Irmão Frank, who takes us for hikes on P-day, we talked about the organization of the church and showed how it has the same organization and Christ´s church in the Bible. Ephesians 4:11-14

Até o Proximo.
