The Brazilian Adventure: Week 90 February 23rd -- March 1st
My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:
So there was a this young kid named Jefferson who was baptised a few weeks ago who went up yesterday to bear his testimony in our ward. He is 10 years old and is a nephew of a member. I have never heard in my whole life such a powerful testimony. He started out calm and by telling his story. And then when he got to the part of telling us his experience about when he went to his room to pray to God if Joseph Smith was a true prophet and if the church of Christ true and only living church 100%. He told us so sincerly and crying so much, choking on his tears, about how he felt something so strongly testifying to him that it was true. He said that he felt the truth so strongly. It was so cool. I felt the spirit testify to me that his words were true and my testimony increased even more. There is no way a kid can make that up. I know that christ wants us all to be like little children. Kids are amazing. I want to be just like them. I miss my little brothers and sisters and also my little nieces and nephews. They are so awesome.
Well, I know that my mission is beginning to come to an end. And I really don´t want it to. I´m panicking. I love my mission. I don´t understand how a missionary can become "truncky" towards the end of his mission. I´m going crazy trying to talk to the most amount people that I can. I´m trying to baptise the most that I can. I´m trying to work the most effective and excercise the most faith that I can. This is the last time that I will EVER be an Elder, and a full time missionary while I´m young. This is the last and only time that I´m going to be known as a representative of Jesus Christ. The last and only time that I can walk up to some one and tell them that. The last and only time that I can work 24 hours in the Lords work and keep doing his will. The last and only time that I can feel so close to Him. I´m running faster than ever, wroking harder than ever, praying like I have never prayed, and preaching like I never had before. I´m going crazy, time is flying. I am getting a lot of opposition like always and it is supper challenging, but we are going to do great. Work! Work! Work!
Love you all, I heard that Annalee, kiana and kayleen are getting baptised soon! yeah!
Be happy
Love the Elder Jones
