Week #7 - I am headed to Tallahassee Florida!



Tallahassee Florida Flag

Ola,

I’m still at the MTC!



 Mas eu dexio amanha!! (But tomorrow)  I’m so excited! Our flight departs at 11am and I will be going to Tallahasse Florida for a transfer.  I heard there was a hurricane and a lot of destruction, but they have not told us anything at the MTC about it.  Do you know how things look in Tallahassee?  I wonder if they will be needing some help.  I don’t know much about the mission other than it is a large mission and part of it goes into Georgia.  


This week has been a week of ups and downs and tons of personal study. With only 3 elders left from the two districts it’s been a bit hard. And then to hear that we are not going straight to Mozambique was tough.


But when we saw in the mail that we were temporarily resigned to Florida I was so excited! I can`t even explain in words how pumped I am to get out in the field! I`m pouco (a little) worried about losing Portuguese though. I’ve been learning Portuguese in the MTC for 6 weeks and now I’m going to speak English for another 6. haha 



Mas ( but )  God is on my side. I know that dom de linguas (the gift of tongues) is real and it will come to me in Mozambique when I need it. 



I can’t wait to meet the pessoas (people) of Florida. I know that I’m suppose to be there for a reason.  The Lord has a plan for everyone. I can’t wait to 

see what’s in store for us (Elder Hancock, Elder Barney and I).

I know the Lord knows me and what I need.  He knows the situation of everyone personally.  I know He Lives and I know He died for us!

 I know without any doubt that he is the Son of God.  





Thanks for all the support and love, I’ll catch you in Tallahassee, Florida next week:)

Week #49 - Church News in Mozambique - July 29th, 2019

Short and brief this week!  I am staying in Beira for another transfer!!  They brought me your package! Thank you, Thank you ! I cannot tell you how much it meant to open it up.  A bunch of missionaries had already looked through it, but I don't think they took anything.  The shoes are AMAZING!!  I feel like I am in heaven when I wear them in the area.  The basketball hoop is the highlight when we come back home and I am trying to stretch out the food!  Please tell Benjamin thank you again for bringing for me!   I had tons of splits with different missionaries this week.  My companion had other responsibilities.  Our Bishop has set up for us to only mark baptisms for every 2 weeks now.  I think that will help them keep up with all the new members.  We are still teaching a ton and people are progressing well. Here is the Church News Article that they wrote.  My companion and I are in it.  The couple that wr...

Week # 23 - The Voice of the Spirit

Thanks to Elder Thornton - We have Pictures of CJ and the Nacala Squad!! (It took over 12 hrs for his family to receive these pictures!)   Well, the internet stinks and is not that great!  Still very slow and still no photos. This week has been lots of lessons and tons of walking. My feet have tons of blisters on them, and now my shoes are getting holes in the sides because of how much we walk.  I have been way tired and I am always hungry, but it’s been good.  I’m picking up on understanding the language, but still very difficult for me.  Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks for all the pictures and advice I love every one of them.  I’m trying to offer lots more prayers.  It has definitely helped.  I haven’t done a prayer silent or out loud in english since the MTC, so I hope they are still sincere and God knows I’m giving my all. About Nacala The Nacala Squad (4 Elders) is sweet!  The four of us get along so well...
