Ola Minha Familia!
Happy birthday to Aunt Coco and Marlise! Have awesome
birthdays and I love you both!!!
This week was awesome. I’m grateful to be where I am right
now. I know this is exactly where the lord wants me and when. I’m grateful for
the opportunity to serve a mission and help others. I know that service is the
best way we can show charity, and without charity, NADA SOMOS!
This week i learned a lot about patience, and my weaknesses,
and relying on prayer and the lord. We had two more baptisms this week,
D, and E, the sister and the aunt of the two boys baptized this last
week. It was a really good service, and finally for once all the people
responsible for the baptismal meeting came and it ran smoothly. Rare! But it
was really good. I baptized them both, so that was really cool. Then on
Sunday they were both confirmed, and then right after D sang a solo
in the primary program. It was so cute! She’s the smartest little girl, and
definitely the most in touch with the spirit in her whole family, and she’s only
11!
Our hour of consecration worked perfectly! We met a lady who
knew about the church from Portugal, but never sat with the missionaries, and
really wants too, so were gonna go to here house tomorrow! She seems
really prepared, so we’ll see! But thanks for the idea Jake, it works for sure!
Other than that it was just another week, nothing that stuck
out huge amazing, sorry everyone! Missionary life is just that way sometimes!
I’m excited to see your smiling faces here in about a month
though!
I know this work is the lord’s work and that this is his
gospel. I was reading in ether this week, and i was amazed at how over and over
again, the brother of Jared would just turn to the lord in prayer and receive
an answer or a blessing, and I thought "now why doesn’t that happen to
me????" and then I read a little more, and the lord said to him, all these
things I have done unto you because of this long time ye have cried unto me. Then
later it talks about how the faith of the brother of Jared was so perfect that
he knew nothing doubting. I wish I could have faith like that! But that’s why
we’re all here is to grow our tree of faith every day, we have to water our
tree everyday or it won’t grow. If it’s not growing it’s dying, so make sure
each and every one of you is watering your tree of faith daily, and praying
unceasingly to the lord.
I love you all! sorry my letters are increasingly shorter as
time goes on. But I have missionary Alzheimer’s. I don’t remember what i did
last week or the week before. it’s all a blur!
I love you’ll ad I love the lord, and I know this is his
work I’m doin. Have good weeks, and don’t forget, if your trees not growing,
it’s dying!
com muito amor,
Elder Montgomery
