Well this week was a
good one! It was the last week of the transfer so we went extra hard! We
actually found someone and entered and taught the first lesson! It was so
different from what I have been use to over the past 11 weeks here! I got the “Transfer”
call and I am leaving Tavira and headed to Alverca and will be the district
leader there! I’m really excited! Alverca is on the outskirts of Lisbon which
means there will be a lot people! What
is really weird about this was that 3 weeks ago I had a dream and woke up and
looked at Elder Taggart and said, "I had a dream I’m going to serve in Alverca!"
Now it has happened and I feel it is inspired!
The best news of the
whole week was that I am now an uncle to 6 nephews!!! Welcome to the family
Luke Peterson!!!
We had stake
conference and President Tavares spoke. He said something that was really
simple but really powerful. He said, "Be Mormon and be happy!" At
first I thought, "What is this?" But then I thought about it and
realized it is so true. We have the knowledge that there really is a way to
return and live with Pai Celetial e Jesus Cristo e nossa familias!!!! No matter
how low we are in the hole, we can always find our way out through faith,
repentance, baptism with the Holy Ghost and enduring the end. This gospel truly
does bring happiness. So yes, I stand
with the statement, "Be Mormon and be happy!" It doesn’t mean that
our lives will be all sunshine and rainbows...we will have heart ache and
trouble and trials but it’s how we respond to those problems that will
determine our happiness!
Well, I’ve learned a
lot from serving in Tavira! FICA BEM
