Dear family. oh how I love you so much! This week has been... CRAZY.
On Friday we had Zone Conference. It was awesome. We learned a lot about following the Spirit and using the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is a powerful tool. Actually the most powerful tool that we can use. I loved it. The Zone Leaders had an opportunity to do trainings. I was in charge of teaching the first lesson in 3 minutes with an invite to church. It was a lot of fun.
This weekend we had 9 people set to be baptized in the Zone, Elder Andrade and I did a LOT of interviews this weekend. I became sad because only 3 people passed the interviews in our Zones and were baptized. This is good, but it could have been a lot better.
Sunday we had lunch with Alexandro, Josiane, and Teverson. It was awesome. Churrasco!!! They invited their parents (who are super Catholic) to eat with us. Afterword, we shared a little message. They are being prepared to hear our message.
On Monday, we taught a girl that a member brought to church. We marked a date. She has been looking for the true church of Christ. She´s found it and then that night we had family night with Adriano and Loriane and we went to Loriane´s brother´s house and taught the first lesson. While they didn´t accept a date to be baptized, they will be baptized. I have faith. So I had my Preach my Gospel hard-backed. It is so awesome it says, "PREGAR MEU EVANGELHO" and at the bottom "Elder N. Askins" I also hard-backed my Journal. I have 2 journals "The Best Two Years" How awesome??!!!!
Well, this week we are looking for new people.
They have a new Joseph Smith movie! Watch it! It is fantastic!!! At the end when Joseph and Hyrum are martyred, Joseph is holding Hyrum and says, "What do we hear in the gospel that we have received. Truth out of the earth. mercy from heaven. A voice of gladness for the living and the dead. Shall we not go on in so great a cause??" It´s Joseph´s life from the point of view from his mother. At the end she is in front of the saints testifying of the life of Joseph Smith and says "I don´t know that I will go west... I am the first witness of the restoration of Christ´s church upon the earth. I leave the world at liberty to pass judgement upon what I have spoken as seemeth them good but this much I will say: All that I have told you is true and will stand forever."
It is great. Watch it! I love you all so much!
Don´t Stop Believing!!!!
Com Amor,
Elder Askins!
