Light vs. Darkness

Hello all! How is life? I hope that all is well! I am doing great!

My companion and I are learning from each other and growing. We have planned a special meeting for the ward I am in right now. Like a little conference with a special speaker. It will be about the pioneers of the Church in the 1800. You know that there is always a special spirit when the topic is on Church History!

I recieved a few good letters. Thanks to all who sent them. I have been gaining testimony that the things of God are plain and simple. That he is not a God of confusion. So if God Speaks in plainess, how does Satan speak? Yep with mis-understanding.

Mis-understanding is running rampant. 99% of all fights, battles, arguments and wars are started because of misunderstanding. Many families are seperated because of mis-understanding. Where there is understanding there is light! Where there is light there is love, happiness, and our Savior Jesus Christ. If you will read in the Doctirne and Covenants you will learn that where there is light (or understanding) there is not darkness, because darkness does not comprehend the light. If you will read Genises you will see that light was created before the Sun and the moon. Interesting. If you will read in Moroni you will see that the light of Christ is given to every man that they might know Good from Evil or in other words truth and lies.

I have a testimony that the Lord Speaks to us not as he is but as we are that we might understand His will for us. He is just waiting for you to desire that relationship. Remember to not just listen but hear his councils. Seek not to council him. He knows what is best.

The work here in Brasil is rolling forth as has been prophesied in the Bible. The stone is rolling forth and people are comming unto the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are teaching a woman that has had a life full of sin and pain and hardships. She is preparing to be baptised and is recieving desire to change (or repent) by searching out truth through prayer and reading the Book of Mormon. She has found much strength and has said many times how much HAPPIER she is. Light Brings happiness and Changes lives. So be ye there for perfect as your Father in heaven. That requires change and a search for Greater light (or understanding)!

I am happy to be here serving the Lord! I have seen Miracles happen and I cannot deny them =) I

love you all!

Working hard!!

How is everybody? I didn´t write a group letter last week because we were in a rush! But all is well!

We are working hard. I am soooooo tired! It is really hard to get up in the mornings. The hills are wearing me out! But I am becoming strong!

I am learning how to deal with complicated people! I am learning how to control my attitude in times of pressure. I am also learning many mysteries of God. Everyday in my scripture study I am learning more. Learning just how perfect the gospel of Jesus Christ is! I am loving every bit of it. Happy, happy, happy.

I do miss all of you alot and am keeping a good journal so I can tell you all about my experience here with the great people of Brasil! I am seeng many miracles. Especially in the hearts of the people. They are leaving the world and coming unto our Savior Jesus Christ. Estabilishing Zion is not easy but it is an amazing esperience!

I have recieved a few packages and cards and want to say thanks to those who are supporting me! If you knew what good examples many of you are to me in consitancy. I love you all and hope that you may find peace within your families and homes, in the midst of this cruel world!

Love,

Having the time of my life!

Hey all another short one! The days and weeks are flying by. I am having the time of my life learning and changing. I am so thankful for the Gospel in my life and the happiness I feel while doing this great work of the Lord. I know that our families can be together for ever. In fact it is a major part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are working with alot of people and have alot to do more than we can handle right now but we will go and do any how. I know that God lives and he answers prayers!
