The Brazilian Adventure: Week 99 April 28th  -- May 3rd

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

I have been studing "Jesus the Christ" lately, MAN! this book is huge. And it is so great. Christ is way more incredible then I could have imagined. 

So I recieved the call sunday morning during church and I have been transfered. Ah, I didn´t want to leave. I wanted to die here in Grajau. But the Lord is going to be calling me to another place. The time passed so fast. But I have seen so many great things here. It is so awesome. I will let you guys know where I am at next week. 

I loved this area. This week Gilmar asked if he could go out with us and do visits. And we said sure why not. He is not even baptised yet and he went out with us for 4 hours doing visits and testifying to others the truthfulness of the gospel. It is so crazy. And he loved the visit with us. And he is going again this week. I´m sad that I´m not going to be here for his baptism. His papers took to long to get here. I payed 55 reals for the paper to get sent. But I´m not going to be here now. But I guess the Lord has other plans for me. 

While I was here, we helped this young man named Felipe come to church. His mom and little sister goes to church. He is 18 years old. And now we are trying to help him to go on a mission. We gave him a priesthood blessing so that he can come back. While I was here, we also helped Thalita come back to church. I spoke about her a few e-mails back. Yesterday, was her third day of going to church and it has been awesome. Yesterday she went to the bishop to repent and that was a great step for her. She said that she told him everything. She is making some crazy changes. before, she was smoking a pack of cigerets a day, smoking marijuana and using drugs everyday. I think I remember telling you guys that about how we gave her a blessing and how we blessed her house. She told me yesterday when I was saying goodbye, she told me that ever since that day of the blessing, she hasn´t smoked anything and used any of those things. It was so amazing. I´m so greatful for the great opportunity that I have to hold the preisthood, and especialy to be able to be worthy to use it when I am called to. I have a powerful testimony of the preisthood. 

I love you all so much and I´m SO Excited to talk to my family next week on mothers day. I´m pumped up!  

Be happy 

Love The Elder Jones
