The Brazilian Adventure: Week 64 August 18 -- August 24
My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:
So one thing that I am learning how to do a little is to feel and follow the spirit. I got a lot to learn but I know  with  practice that I will get good at it. My companion  had a good experience this last week with following the spirit when we were on splits. We were waiting at church for the relief society president to plan for a missionary activity. But she didn´t end up coming. While we were there, there was seminary class going on. When we were about to leave, the seminary class ended. And the seminary class teacher left running out. My  companion, Elder G. Fernandes, then asked the students how seminary class went. They said that today went bad because the students were making fun of the teacher and doing dumb things, and the teacher went out crying. After that talk, my companion started to feel like he should go over to the  seminary teachers house and talk to her. But the missionary that  was with him told him that they should just drop it and that it is member problems. My companion then remembered that we were trying to follow the spirit more in our mission and we should  follow what ever feeling that we have right away. He then just took the  courage and went. They got there and left a great message with the lady and  my companion    didn´t even know what was coming out of his mouth and it was really good for her and she felt a lot better. and her daughter was happy. Before the missionaries left, the daughter told them that before that they came, she was praying that God would help her mom and then when she said amen, the missionaries knocked at the door. We are having a lot of great miracles that are happening on the mission it is so cool. I know that  God answers prayers.
Elder Felix got emergencies transferred because of his knees. we have now Elder C. Santos. he has 1 year and 9 months, he use to be a zone leader for a long time and so I'am excited to learn from him. 
I hope you are all doing great. I love my mission. It is going great. I have  been learning some more patients and just waiting for the lords time and will. 
Be happy
Love the Elder Jones
