This week was a crazy stressful and busy one, but full of so many blessings. wow. seriously an amazing week.
First off, starting with the coolest stuff, Antonio got
baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. He’s a champ
and super strong. He’s already converting his neighbors!!!
Then Seretsy Grandy, one of our recent converts, got the Aaronic
priesthood this week. super cool to see a life that truly turned around. the
first time we met him he was hung over from an all night party and still in bed
when we woke him up at 4 in the afternoon, and now he’s blessing the sacrament
next week and bringing his brother into the church.
The other cool thing that happened this week is that an area 70 from south Africa, Elder Bricknell, came to visit our branch to see off Pres. and Sister Thompson. They leave on Wednesday.

He gave the coolest testimony and told the Thompson’s
crying and very bold. "The Lord has accepted your service here and is grateful
and will bless you for it (then turning to the Thompson’s ) and don’t you ever forget
it!" super strong testimony. He also read Bruce R McConkie’s last
testimony..., of the Savior, and then Elder Bricknell said " I BEAR THE SAME TESTIMONY"
Holy cow. You’ve never felt the spirit so strong. I was like whaTTTT!!!?? ... I don’t know but it got me thinking about what a special
witness truly is. haha nuts. ya. Then he bore a testimony of the Savior too. He
taught. Why do we take upon us the saviors name, why is that so important. Then
with tears in his eyes he explained "because two thousand years ago, in
that garden, in those agonizing hours of the infinite atonement, the Savior our
Lord took upon himself our names, our sins ,our sadness, illnesses and everything
bad we’ve ever passed through. He took that all upon him in our names, and for
that, we take his name upon us. " I truly was so filled with the spirit. An
amazing testimony and it’s so true. I know that is it true, the Lord took
upon him the entire world, and all he asks is that we take his name and honor
it. I love the
Lord for that and am grateful for his sacrifice. That is
why I’m here!!!! In Africa, to help others take the name of Christ, take up
their crosses and follow him. How great is this mission! I love being a
missionary! and I’m so grateful for all of you and your prayers. I love you
all! Have good weeks and know that I love you! and am always praying for each
and every one of you.
com muito muito amor,
