Hey Mom!
I hope you had a great week. Our week was awesome and we truly saw miracles. Of course I remember Br Clark. I talked to him briefly when we went to the temple.... He told me that he still speaks Portuguese but its amazing to hear that he served in Madureira. I am anxious to speak with him in Portuguese after the mission. Thank you for the pictures of the (Indianapolis) Temple. I'm excited to see the progress and am thankful that we will have a temple so close to home. Thats nice that you got to hear from Jason Solomon. Do you know if his brother Johnathan (he also served in Brazil) got married yet? Hes a great guy. The scripture that you shared from D and C (D&C 58:26-28) is a popular one here in the mission. It motivates us as missionaries to push ourselves and to always do more. That we should be obedient to God not just because "we have to" but also because we love Him. Before you make any decision, think "why am I" or "why should I do this?" If you discover a reason that is motivated by love and desire to serve God, then you should do it. God will bless us and guide us in our righteous desires. The Lord said in verse 28 "For the power is in them". We are capable. We can do it. The Lord has given us the free agency to choose between liberty and eternal life, and captivity and death. It is our choice. I read this week and am pondering on the last testimony of Moroni in the Book of Mormon. Chapter 10 verses 32 and 33. Prayerfully read and search for spiritual inspiration in this testimony of a prophet of God. I know that the Lord will speak to your mind and to your heart the things that you must know and do to serve Him and to "deny yourself of all ungodliness". I know that His grace is sufficient. I love our Heavenly Father. Mom, I hope and pray that you are well and happy. .....
