Wow, I’m glad to hear about the wedding and that everything
went well ha-ha,
I guess something in common that Brazilians have and Latinos
is showing up late hahaha,
But I’m super happy to hear about the wedding, two down, so
two more left ha-ha.
This week went very well, the baptism went through, we
baptized young boy named Breno, he is 12 years old but a very good kid, I’m
almost certain he will serve a mission, it also helps that his best friend is a
member and the good kids.
We had another musical number, I played the piano and sang
with my companion ´´I Like to Look for Rainbows´´ it went well I think ha-ha.
This week a gay guy chased us with a weird wig, he always
flirts and then tries to bible bash with us so we just ignore him and walk
really fast ha-ha.
I also gave a talk this Sunday and I liked it a lot, it was about the importance of the Book of Mormon in our
lives, I explained briefly about the Book of Mormon and what it is
and the story of Joseph Smith but I also shared to examples of how the Book of
Mormon and change our lives, I gave an example about the story of Samuel the
Lamanite and how he preached the gospel on the wall and how he was protected by
the Lord, I compared that to my life, how it helped me learn to have more faith
and trust in the Lord and with obedience and faith the lord will protect us
from the arrows and stones of the world, I explained that this is a little
example and then I also told the story of Dads friend who was Jewish that
decided to burn the Book of Mormon so that his family wouldn’t find out, but he
heard a voice saying ´´don’t burn my book´´ and how this changed his life
completely, my companion really liked the story and the members as well,
a-ha sorry for not asking for permission to tell the story beforehand but it
fit really well in with my talk.
The Book of Mormon is just one of the best gifts from God
that we have received, it answers all of the most important questions in our
life, it answers that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ, it answers that
Joseph Smith is a Prophet and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints is the true church and kingdom of God, for this the Book of Mormon is
the Key stone of our religion, and it is by the Spirit that we can know that it
is true. (2 Nephi 32:5, Moroni 10:3-5)
I miss you guys,
Hope everyone has a great week
Love
Elder Toma
