This week I learned a lot, I don´t even know where to begin but yesterday me and Elder Davis got to go out proslyting!! We were given 4 books of mormon and had to give them out in 4 hours.... we gave all four out within 45 minutes. It was amazing... We were so scared to talk to the first person on the street... Why would someone wanna hear our broken portuguese especially coming from 19 year olds concerning religion but we talked to the first person and he seemed friendly.... so we just started going up the street and talking to everyone approaching us. Aw I wish you could see how nice brazilians ( or just people in general ) actually are. If you have a smile on your face and are geniuine people can feel it and will talk and listen to what you have to say. After we passed them out we went back to the CTM to get more but they wouldn´´t give us any. It´s crazy like I litilarly just want to share this message with everyone it´s just about LOVE!!! all you need is love alllll you needddd is lovveee (beetles knew what was up haha) but yeah just this gospel is about love. It´s so simple. It´s what Christ taught was to just love eachother and everything would be okay! PS i´m almost done with the book of mormon and I absolutely love it! It is the best book ever and guess what ITS FREE!!
But yeah i´m enjoying it, I know the book to be true and my love for this gospel is increasing SO much by the day! Portuguese is very hard but i´ll get it eventually. I can barely hold a conversation but I can somewhat manage to say what I need to say. But that doesn´t even matter. People only care and will listen if they know you feel something about the topic. It´s hard to explain but looking back i´ve learned SO MUCH just in the CTM it´s absolutely crazy. I went to my last endowment session for two years today :( I absolutely love the temple. I learn something new everytime. This gospel is perfect and everytime I talk, think, or go do something gospel related I figure out just how perfect it is.
The one message I want to share with you this week and you taught me this all growing up but it´s a lot easier said then done.... but it´s all about ATTITUDE. I promise if you just make the best with what you have and everyonce in a while take a step back and see what god has given you. Then waking up at 6:30 doesn´t seem so bad. God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost are there to help us through our trials. You are NEVER alone, I know that to be true. It´s getting upon the year mark when I had my most spiritual experience that changed my life. It was Christmas day. No one was home and I was by myself sitting in my car crying because of the things that had happened. Somehow a thought came into my head to pray ( I hadn´t prayed in months) and I said it out loud. I asked god if he was really there. I asked him to please help me because there was no way I was gonna get through this by myself. At that moment I can´t even describe the confort that came over me. It was so strong it felt like someone was giving me a hug. That was the pure love of Christ. and that is why I am on a mission now. If I can touch just one person and let them know that they are never alone and can feel the love our savior, god and the holy ghost have for me. I´ve done my job. This gospel is real mom, I´m so thankful for everything everyone does for me and I can´t wait to come home after two years and continue bring souls unto Christ! I hope Josh Tracy goes back out, he doesn´t know what he is missing. I don´t even really thing about home any more. I just want to serve! Love you lots mom and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Be happy you have a reason to smile! Love you lots!
Elder Diamond
never look back
