Family,
So this week was really tough. We had some rough days when everything fell
through and i realized that it has been a long time since i've had lessons fall
through like this. The families have almost always been at home and i almost had
a hard time believing that they weren't home. It just goes to show that the Lord
needs you to be prepared. We had some late nights because of lessons and we were
unable to plan twice- if we aren't prepared, the Lord will not prepare his
children, and it is even less likely that He will trust us with them. I
incredibly, did not get frustrated haha. I think your prayers are being answered
because this week we had a young couple that is progressing really well and a
less active member at church on sunday! We are going to work more with less
actives and really work on top of people. I just feel sad with these less
actives that are sad, have problems, and don't want to pray-read-or go to
church. Just go to church! homem do céu! puxa como a vida é um saco as vezes.
But we are teaching some neat people. We cut just about everyone this week
and decided- 2 weeks without progress and we have to cut. Also, we have made
plans to work more with members. After lunch we always leave a message and last
week we decided to plan it on p-day and use one message for the whole week. We
planned really well so that the week would have a nice, polished message to
thank the members. We had a really neat experience on saturday with the branch
president of ipoméia (where the church started... his family is one of the first
mormon families in brazil). They had been passing some rough times and our
message was exactly what they needed to hear.
The Lord works in mysterious ways, but He is always working.
I love you guys a ton and i am super proud of all of your achievements.
Caleb, I love you and i know that at times XC is not fun. At times football
looks like it matters more, but you are competing and i am super proud of you
for sticking with cross country. You are awesome cakers. I want to know when you
race and you times! haha. I prayed for you the day of your first meet. I hope
you felt an extra boost from you brother in brazil.
I love you all and bella too! haha. You guys really are the best. I
couldn't think of anyone else i would want forever.
Amo muito vocês,
