Well one more week has gone. We had a good week, we have been working in almost all the areas of the zone trying to get some baptisms excited. We have really dedicated ourselves this transfer to help our zone reach our goals. We are on track as of now and if everything goes well we will hit our goal this last week of the transfer!!
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with Kaíque. He is doing so good. He is way happy and just loving life. He received the priesthood and I had the opportunity to bless the sacrament with him this week. That was so awesome and I really just wanted to burst into tears the whole time. He also has a calling in the ward and is working a lot to help the ward. He is always call less actives to see if he can help or give them a ride to church. haha he is such a stud! This week we are going to go to the temple with him to do baptisms for his family. He also bought a new suit and shaved the beard, so is just a flippin stud now. I really like him, he is a great guy and I am so happy I have had the opportunity to help him and see the big change happen in his life. This week he bought a giant Easter egg for me to thank me for all that I have done. It was great, we both got all teary eyed as we talked about the gospel and all that is happening in his life.
I am really loving my mission during these last few months. I really can't believe that I am on the final stretch. I am just trying to enjoy every minute. Miracles are happening and I really feel like God is helping me prepare myself for these last 5 months and for the rest of my life. I am loving serving here in the Penha zone. I have come to love the people I am serving with and I really feel like we are a great big team working together.
Here in my area we are having some hard times, as we don't have many people progressing. But I have learned that the success of others is what makes me really happy. We are working hard and I am sure that God will bless us with a miracle to finish off this transfer.
This week one of my real good mission buddies went home. We were able to see him before he went home, he was Elder Chalampuentos comp so it was way sweet to see him again, and Chalampuento who is my best buddy. He got a visa for business and he says he is going to work on the Pondi after the mish. haha
This week was really special for me as I challenged myself to think about the Savior each day of the week. As it was his last week on earth I tried to follow him and each day think about what he was doing on that specific day. I really felt myself get closer to him. As I studied his life and many testimonies about him throughout the Bible and Book of Mormon I really felt as if he was listening to me and comforting me to let me know that what I was feeling was true. My testimony has grown a lot this week and I really think its funny, because it seems like I say the same thing every week. I am so grateful to God for my many blessings and for my opportunity to be a representative of his Son and feel so close to him. I continue to be a humble servant, but some day I hope to be his true friend.
I really wish I could put my feelings in the email, but it just isn't possible. I hope and pray to never forget what I am feeling and the experiences I am having here. I hope we all came closer to Christ the last week as we celebrate that he lives. He as not left us here alone, the heavens are not closed. He loves us and if we do our part certainly he will do his. I hope we can all follow him with more and more assurance.
God Speed
