Ollo! :)
This week a bunch of the
members in our branch were traveling so there was only 25 people at church; my
companion and I taught the Sunday school lesson about how good and bad leaders
in the Bible effect the people. One thing we talked about was how a good
leader always has the courage and integrity to do what is right regardless of
circumstances.
I also read Mathew chapters 5-7
verse by verse with 3 Nephi 12-14 which was cool. I like how together they show
how Jesus Christ has showed us the way to be perfected through his grace and
gospel. Together they talk a lot about faith, repentance, and baptism, while
showing how all the wonderful things about the gospel are possible because of
Jesus Christ.
One lunch this week was
churrasco of sheep, sausage, and chicken meat! It was yummy. Also the daughter
of one of the people we are teaching gave us about 10 avocados (in Brasil the
people make juice with one avocado and 3 limes and sugar; they think it is
strange when I tell them about guacamole). And we visited with one of the
familys that we are teaching and they shared with us how the gospel is already
helping them out a bunch in their life! It is cool to see the joy in their
faces! :)
I also made beans with our
pressure cooker, the pressure cookers here in Brasil are better because they
actually work (I think it is because they have less safety stuff) it cooks the
beans in about 10 minutes and then waiting 30 minutes..
Com muitos sorrisos! :) :) :)
