Tuesday - NEW MISSIONARY TRAINING MEETING... for the 5th time! (I think this might be my last time) This time it felt weird because my son, Elder Salmon, who I trained 3 transfers ago, IS TRAINING! I had a proud dad moment. We also got a reference of our friend Caio. He is the same age as me and said he was looking for greater focus and purpose in life. We explained how we have purpose to have joy in life and follow Jesus Christ and how we can have this blessings by recieving the Holy Ghost. And after talking about baptism, he accepted to be baptized on the 21st! WOOHOO CAIO!!
Jesus Loves You 
Wednesday - We woke up this morning and while Elder Lima prepared his food, the sink fell through! It caught us so off guard but continued on with our day. We had our MISSION DEVOCIONAL and talked about chapter 5 of preach my gospel "Use the Power of the Book of Mormon". Some of my biggested take aways were: Willingness to read the BOM is a great sifter to see who is ready and willing to learn, and the book of mormon is the most correct book than any. During our work today, we visited our friend Caio and Elder Lima actually left his phone there so... I did majority of our relating for the day. We also experienced our first Black out! It was pretty cool!

Thursday - We did a division with our friends in Rio Verde! Elder Paramore and Elder Alencar! I worked with Elder Alencar today and our challenge for the day was baptism invites and while we did 7 baptism invites in one day, 3 people accepted! MIRACLE! (we may or may not have won the challenge for the day) But the highlight was when we had lunch with their bishop and he asked me to share a message using a verse from the book "Naum". Ngl, i had no idea what book it was until he showed me it in the bible. I immediately chose a random scripture and.... it worked out!

Friday - Today was pretty hard actually. We were talking to some missionaries who were having some problems with their companionship and I was also getting messages from members who needed help with things and it felt like everything was just falling down on me. But in these moments, I saw the miracles God was offering me and the agency I have to choose in whom I trust and in whom I get strength. (Alma 26:12, 16)

Saturday - We went around confirming people for church today and some people stopped us and told us they were recent converts from another mission. We took a picture with them. It was cool to see how everyone just knows the missionaries. We also taught my friend James and his wife the restoration and Ariane, his wife, said "I feel like I already knew this. It seems so familiar..."

Sunday - BAPTISM OF TAYLA AND EMERSON!! It was so cool to see how a random night contact led to them making covenants with God! It was an awesome experience that I will never forget...

Overall, this week I have learned so much about the Holy Ghost and how he guides us. We have free agency to choose but we know God guides us and offers us a way to judge so we can make good choices. (Moroni 7:13,15-16). But in the end, the purposes of God will move on forever, as an eternal circle (Mormon 8:22, D&C 3:1-4)

Look for the miracles around you. God offeres them. He is always extending his loving arms towards you to cure you. You just need to enter into them. (3 Nephi 9:13-14)
