The Brazilian Adventure: Week 86 January 26 -- Febuary 1

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

We found this awesome lady on the street the other day. With our next visit with her, she said that she was going to invite all her neighbors for our message that we are going to give to her. 

There is this less active that we helped come back to church. His name is sergio. This is his 3rd Sunday in a row going to church. He hasn´t been to church for that much in almost 15 years. He is coming back strong. He had an interview this last Wednesday with the bishop. 

We had these two other families that dropped us. That was tough. With one family, a member and the mom had a little argument. With this other great family, they started to work a whole lot , and they said that they will need some time until things slow down there. 

This week I was a little frustrated also, but on friday, I had a great study. I´m learning how I need to have faith and never doubt. Some times it is hard for me. Sometimes hard times come and I just think to my self, "Man, what I´m I doing wrong." or "I am never going to have the sucesse that I want because I am not doing some thing perfect." And I began to have these types of doubts. And sometimes I just have a bad attitude right before the day ends or the week ends. I believe that I need to learn how to keep believing until the very end. One thing that has helped me now is to always remember about the atonement and how I can know that If I am doing my best, the Lord will help me with the rest and I will then do miracles in the lives of others. Sometimes I get the doubts that my best is not enough, but this is a lie. When I was reading the Book of Mormon and there was this verse that I loved and that I was so impressed with the Anti-nephi-Lehi people. The part were they would not fight back with the Lamenites and how they would prefer to die then to break there covenant with God. I especially am so impressed in the part in alma chapter 24 verse 23. This people would sit there praising God until the very end. I couldn´t do that. I would panic with so much fear if some one came running at me with a sword ready to kill me. But they had so much faith and didn´t complain and sat there praising the Lord until the end. This was a great lesson for me to learn how to not complain, even until the very end. I have to not have any doubts also. 

I love you all. 

Be happy
