This week we helped build a house! Haha. It was
our service project for the week, but I learned that to build a house you just
need like bricks, cement, water, and dirt... WHO KNEW!?!?! The paste made is
used to stick the bricks together. Haha.
We had a good time at conference... it was a humbling experience
for me... I need to learn Portuguese better. The talks by d Todd Kristofferson
GEEZE!! His vocabulary makes it hard to understand in English let alone in Portuguese.
(I look forward to an English Ensign to read :) )
We met this awesome family this week; Israel and Kati. We met
them just knocking doors... in truth we knocked there because their neighbor
has a HUGEEEE HOUSE and we were going to get the name, which we did but we went
back to teach them this week and we just talked with them like old friends it
was quite amazing. Our president told us we will never waste time getting to
know a family it is always a good use of time. Also it is how to gain their
confidence.
Another family we are teaching; Celzo and Elinice they prayed
about the Book of Mormon... she had a dream and realized that was her answer. They
are marked to be baptized on the 27th but we need to get moving with their marriage
first.
I think one of the greatest promises I have found is in my call
letter which states “as you serve with all your heart, might, mind, and strength
THE LORD WILL LEAD you to families who have been PREPARED to be baptized. Not
just ready or who want to but families who are PREPARED! What an awesome
promise.
I was reflecting a bit about the change in age to serve a
mission; now young men at 18 years old can serve. I encourage all who are 18
years old to seek personal revelation to know the will of God for your
particular situation, pray and receive an answer.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I love this work of saving souls and changing
lives. It is more rewarding then anything I have ever done. Keep doing what’s
right and you’ll never regret it
Love Elder Howe
