This week has been good, but VERY tiring. We have been working in some areas which are a little farther away than the other Elders who have been here have been working, so we are doing a lot of walking lately. Also it doesn´t help that today for our P-day we went up a hill to see a big statue of Christ with a Catholic shrine on top (see pics below). We have been working a lot, and this week we just have to try and work a little more efficiently, not that we aren´t trying, but we just have to try harder.
Anyway we are working hard, and this Saturday we will have an activity in the ward that is based on the plan of salvation, that will basically explain about what happens after this life. The activity is called "The Plane" so you can imagine what will happen. 😅
Anyway, it is getting a little warmer here, but it still gets a little cold at night.
So more about living in 4 Elders; there is this coin twister machine here in our area where you can buy Pokemon, so Elder Fernandes, Elder Carver, and I have gotten a little addicted to buying them in the hope of "catching them all." Well it has gotten to the point where we made a dueling game with the Pokemon, and if we have done everything that we should do at night and we still have time before we go to bed, we play a little bit.
One thing that really has motivated me this week is a little about what it says in Alma 5, about good works. In Alma 5 it talks a lot about our relationship with God, and about judgement day, and how if our works have been good we will be sons and daughters of God, but how if our works have been bad then we are sons and daughters of the devil. So this week I have been focusing on serving people for the only reason of having done good works. It is really gratifying, and I invite everyone who is reading this to look at new ways that your works are good, so that you are children of Christ.
Thank you all for the support, and have a good week.
