Família Maravilhosa!
Well, this was yet again another interesting week here in good ol´ Campo Limpo. We are baptizing this week, maybe two people. I have been pretty happy with how easy the Lord has made it for me to baptize here. There is this one really cool kid named Marcelo, he came to church, a church activity and soccer with us, he wants to get baptized but one problem...his dad is a pastor of some random church soo it might take some time.
Anyway, besides that, I don´t have too much to tell about... Jesus the Christ (LOVE that book!), Preach My Gospel, the Book of Mormon, and other talks by General Authorities. Which by the way, reminded me of something- I think I´ve found my favorite session of General Conference- October 2010 Priesthood Session. haha For those of you who don´t know, I listen to General Conference talks every morning as I´m getting ready, and so far I´ve listened to a bunch of talks from the past 8 years or so. This session of General Conference is awesome, and full of great talks with strong points that really rang true with me. Anyway, check it out. Elder Nelson talks about missionary work, one of the Seventy talks about ´´laying down the weapons of our rebellion´´ and giving our hearts to God in obedience, another Seventy talks about having love in the home, with a really touching story, Elder Uchtdorf gives an awesome talk on pride and references another really famous talk given by President Ezra Taft Benson ´´Beware of Pride´´. Ah yes, I love General Conference!
Todo mundo, família, queridos amigos- Eu sei, do fundo do meu coração que esta igreja realmente é a única igreja verdadeira na face da Terra. Realmente, Nosso Bondoso e Amoroso Pai Celestial e Seu Filho Amado Jesus Cristo apareceram ao jovem Joseph Smith e restauraram a plenitude do evangelho de Cristo nestes últimos dias. O Livro de Mórmon é verdadeiro, eu amo esse livro tanto. Ele contém a plenitude do evangelho eterno, e eu amo me banquetear com as palavras dele. O Presidente Thomas S Monson é profeta, vidente, e revelador para nós em nossos dias de hoje. Mas, mais do que tudo, eu sei que vive Meu Salvador e Redentor Jesus Cristo. Ele vive e nos amou tanto para pagar o preço pelos nossos pecados- só basta que a gente faz nossa parte para mostrar nosso amor e gratidão pela Expiação Dele. Ele já fez tudo para nós- só precisa que nós seguimos o exemplo divino e atingir nosso pontencial divino! Quão maravilhoso é o plano do Nosso Pai Celestial!
Translation: Everyone, family, dear friends, I know, from the bottom of my heart that this church is really the only true church on earth. Indeed, Our Gracious and Loving Heavenly Father and his Beloved Son Jesus Christ appeared to the boy Joseph Smith and restored the fullness of the gospel of Christ these days. The Book of Mormon is true, I love this book so much. It contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel, and I love my feast with his words. President Thomas S Monson is a prophet, seer, and revelator in our day for us today. But more than anything, I know who lives: My Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. He lives and loved us enough to pay the price for our sins, not just that we do our part to show our love and gratitude for His Atonement. He has done everything for us-we just need to follow the divine example and achieve our potential divinity! How wonderful is the plan of our Heavenly Father!
Amo todos vocês e mando um abraço!
Love you all and send a hug!
Elder Merrick Reynolds
