Portuguese

Hey Everyone,

This week was pretty great. I am staying for another transfer in the great Promised land that is Merthyr Tydfil. This transfer will be shorter though, only 5 weeks. It's weird that after this short one, I only have 3 more to go until I'm home. 

We got some pretty crazy news this week. In July, a new mission is being created, the England Bristol Mission. It's not a name change, there will still be an England Birmingham mission, but it will be more up north. So for my Last transfer, I will either be in the England Bristol Mission and keep my mission President, or I could get sent up to the North and be a part of what will be the England Birmingham mission. Who knows!

We are teaching someone from Brazil that speaks only Portuguese and Spanish. One of the Elders here in Merthyr is from Portugal, so every Saturday he goes on splits with one of us to teach her. I went this time, and it was so interesting. I have never felt more useless in my life! I have a lot of respect for those who go straight to another country learning a brand new language.

This week has just been so cool seeing the Spirit of God working in people's lives. I love this scripture that is what we are seeing:

Mosiah 5:2

2 And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.

Nothing brings more joy than seeing a life that is sick with Sin, be touched by the Savior's hand. The change is amazing.

Anyway, it was amazing this week. Hope everyone has a great one!
