Week 76 Castanhal

Leadership Meeting at Mission Home in Belem

 Clay mixed all his food together and Sis Stasevskas was appalled! She mentioned it to (Elder) Mateus Capello in a comment and he said that was ONE thing he did not teach Elder Green!

Hello!!!

THis week was super busy. Tuesday we went to Belém for a meeting at the presidents house. Lots of things changed in the mission. It used to be that we did our  planning session at 9:00 at night until 9:30. But now we do that in the morning, so we can sleep at 9:30 pm if we want!! That was for sure a revelation because if there is one thing that I need a little bit more of it is sleep! SO everyone is excited about that, but we will start doing this only next month. 

We were suppose to recieve a visit from Elder Costa this month but he called and said that we cant make it and will remark with us for a latter time. So everyone was a little sad about that but we look forward for when he comes maybe next month.

Wednesday we had our zone conference. Because our zone is so distant we can only have a meeting once a month. Lots of things were said and goals were set. I talked about the triangle of success, which has 3 things: Faith, Obidience and Love. We can be obidient to all the rules and commandments and we can pray and fast like crazy, but if we dont do it for the right reason(Love for the Savior and Gods children) the Lord will not bless us with success. Our motivation for hard work and rightous living is what really matters. 

Remember that refferal we got from the inactive member on the road? So we have been working with them but this past week we went there and she basically said that they dont want to recieve our visits anymore and they will keep going to there church... We get really sad when people learn the truth and then reject it. Basically saying to Christ that they dont want His help! 

So this Sunday we had a meeting with the missionary part of the ward and disscused about less active members and investigators. We talked a lot about the investigator who fed us lunch last week and came to church, just his family that doesnt support him. As we were talking about him someone knocked on the door, it was HIM! He had stopped by the church on the way to work and saw us in the bishops office so he just came on in! We taught him right there with the 2nd couselor and the ward mission leader and ward missionaries! He has a lot of potencial! He says people from the other church his family goes to keep coming to his house and talking bad about our church, but he is firm and said he will continue coming to church. For sure was the first time an investigator walked into a ward counsel meeting at the exact time we were talking about him! 

This is my companions last week in the mission. We will have to travel to Belém again this week.. 

Hope everything is going well with you all!!

Love yall

Elder Green
