1. What is it like in Brazil?
Brazil is pretty hot. right now it is just a little bit hotter than i would like. ithas gotten up to about 104 degrees but it is humid too. not like in good old dry Idaho. right now it is about 80. is a great place to work! i really like the people here! they are humble and willing to listen. there arent very many people here that wont accept a visit so that is great! also brazil is a very good looking place! there are tons of trees and it is really green!! it isnt like i was expecting though. i have only seen monkeys one or two times ha.
2. How do you feel about Brazil?
I really love brazil! It hasnt quite taken over idaho as my favorite place to be. but i cant imagine myself in another place right now! i am so glad that i was called to this mission. i cant imagine being with a different president or in another place! (especially some place that is hotter than here! any hotter and i wouldnt be able to handle it!!! haha)
3. What are the people there like?
they are really receptive. they are willing to listen to what we have to say. there is also A LOT of people! for the last 4 months, i have worked on one single street. i have talked to at least 3000 people and i havent even made it half way down the street yet!!! it is great though!!! tons of people that we can teach!!
4. What are your feelings about the work?
i am really greatful for the chance i have to be one of Christ's representatives. i really do fell His presence everywhere we go! especially during the times when we are teaching.
5. Bear your testimony.
well i guess i would just like to say that i know that Jesus is our savior! that he is our only hope and that he can bring happiness for everyone! i know that he already felt all of our hardships and because of this, he will help us tons! God always will do His part when we do ours! I know that Jesus lives and that He loves us! I also know that He leads this work and this church! i have no doubt that the church is perfect! i know that Joseph Smith was the prophet of the restoration and that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet now! we are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives! we were chosen to be born in families that have the gospel so that we could help our brothers and sisters find the way as well! i am so grateful for the gospel. I am also grateful for the miracles that God gives us. i know he will bless us with many miracles every single day as long as we ask! Look for a BIG miracle per day and GOD will give it to you! not just in the mission but for the rest of our lives! Eu sei que isto é verdade. Em nome de Jesus Cristo. Amém.
6. Wish your friends well.
well i hope everyone else is having as much fun as i am! i really am having sacred experiences every day! it is great and i know that we can do great things if we work our hardest. I believe Heavenly Father really likes us Idaho boys haha and he is willing to bless us tons!! i hope you all look for a HUGE miracle every day! Pray for miracles! thanks for everything you guys have done for me. i am very grateful for the examples you guys always were for me! i am glad that i had good friends that helped me to get out here in the mission! i really wouldnt be able to have a better 2 years anywhere at this point in my life! Thanks!!! "Os Garotos do Idaho estão batizando todo mundo!!!"
