The Brazilian Adventure: Week 61 July 28 -- August 3
My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:
Wow, our mission President is so amazing. He is truely an inspired man from god. I love President Dalton. He is helping us do some great things. He is helping us have such a greater vision which is the temple. Baptism is just a step of what we are going to help our investigators do. The temple is where we are heading with them. Our president is such a spiritual man. He told of such great experiences that has happened to him on his mission. Some that I don´t think that I could say in public, but they are so amazing.
So we are doing supper great in our zone. We are trying to teach the missionaries how to fallow the spirit and work on their own. Many times the missionaries call us with problems, and we are trying to teach them how to solve their problems. We are also trying to teach them to listen to the spirit and fallow it. It is very hard to develope that skill, but we are having some interesting experiences. For example, on time we were talking to a member at her house and for some reason. We felt prompted to ask her who does she knows who live near by and who were taught by the missionaries before but didn´t get baptised. The lady thought for a while and then she gave us a name of some one near by. We then went directly to this house to contact this person, we went up to the house and we began to call her. We ended up calling her 3 times and we waited for a long time and nothing happen. and so we just thought no one would answer. But then I felt prompted to call one more time. And I thought that it was not necessary and the missionary who I was with, Elder Felix, thought the same. But then I fallowed the feeling and shouted for the person again. And then a man looked out the window and told us that she is coming. Then The young lady walked out and we talked to her. It turns out that the missionaries taught her 5 years ago but then she went on a trip and the missionaries lost track of her. It just happens that she was feeling like going back to church this week and then we appeared at her door. Something else, it turns out that she read the WHOLE book of mormon and has a few questions. Yesturday she went to church. That is just an example. It was a miracle. I´m learning how to fallow the spirit, but it is hard.
I Love you all so much. I hope you are doing great.
Be happy
Love the Elder Jones
