This week has been super busy. Last Friday we had a mission conference with Elder Tobias. It was super awesome. I learned a lot!!!! We all practiced the first lesson. (yeah, imagine practicing the first lesson in front of a member of the seventy. Not an easy thing). But it was well worth it. The coolest part was when I went up to get letters in the office afterward and I was leaving with my companion and Elder Tobias was walking in and I shook his hand and said "Elder Tobias, I think you have the most wonderful first name in the world" (his first name is Natã, which is Nathan in Port.) He smiled and looked into my eyes and said "Elder Askins, don´t disgrace our name." And then we left. But I will never forget we share a name. Like I share a name with my family, like as a missionary I share a name with the church and as a member of that church I share a name with Christ. "Never disgrace our name."
Today was neat. we went to Curitiba to participate in a stake activity. It was us, 10 elders in our zone, the stake president, and President Cordon. We had a little meeting in the morning, like a devotional and then afterward we played futébol and ping pong (that´s why I have a pic with Pres. Cordon dressed the way we are)
I was talking to a missionary there and he started talking about Elder Paiva´s family (his sister-in-law will be baptized!) So I, with this missionary, went to Elder Paiva´s house to give his family a visit. It was great to see everyone again!!! and that is why I have a pic with Elder Paiva´s family.
Well fam. I love you all so much. The church is true! There is no doubt in my mind. The Book of Mormon is true and Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God! Jesus Christ is our Savior. I love you all!!!
Com Amor,
Elder Nay
