Week 87 - Conferencia Castanhal

Hello!!

SO this week was great! I got some bad blisters on my feet and had to stay 1 day without walking very much, but now it is all good and the blisters went away! Our week was full of searching for new people to teach. We have been talking to everyone on the streets and what not and found lots of people that are interested. ALso 2 of our investigators said that they dont want to hear us anymore because their pastor/church doesnt allow them and said that they shouldnt even have the book of mormon in their home.... That kind of stuff makes us really sad because no matter what we say, some people just dont understand the importance of what we are teaching and how it will change their eternities! But the Lord is always preparing people to recieve the Gospel, we just have to find the eleitos!

We were knocking doors one day and came across a HUGE house. Literally one of the nicest houses I have seen here and it is all green. The whole house is green. I try to knock on all the houses that have the house number 71, and with a house that is all green I just had to knock. The guy came on the intercome asking who we were and we explained, so we ended up teaching him and he is super interested. He is 21 and doesnt go to any church and is going to be a doctor or something so he is smart and undertands everything we say. We will work a lot more with him. 

We really enjoyed conferênce this week. I especially liked the talk that President Uchtdorf gave in the preisthood session. He told the stroy of when James and John asked Christ if they would be able to sit on His right and left hand in the last day. Christ responded that the greatest within them would be their servant. Many are called but few are chosen, God doesnt care what our calling is, but they way we serve. The greatest among us, will be those who serve. For that reason Christ gave the 2 greatest commandments- love the Lord thy God and your neighbor, and SERVE them!!

Love yall!!
