Last Week at the MTC!!!

Hello all!

How are all of you doing? I am doing great! im super excited because my last week at the good ol MTC has arrived!! FINALLY!! Im super stoked to go to Portugal next tuesday morning!!! I get to take a pit stop in New York for 4 hrs then Paris, France for 2 hrs! hopefully there are some cool buildings to see from the airport!

I am so ready but also nervous to teach real people in a foreign country. Its crazy how as missionaries we can learn a new language in weeks. The gift of Tongues is so real! its a great blessing.

Throughout my time at the MTC i have really felt the comfort of my Heavenly Fathers love. I have felt the spirit so much more than I ever have in my life!!! Yesterday we were teaching a "Progressing investigator" and we taught her about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I felt the spirit so strong as I taught her about Christ's suffering in Gethsemane, him dying on the cross, and his ressurrection. I know that through Christ we will all have the opportunity to be resurrected. And i am so grateful for this. Tragedies happen in this life. But we can find comfort knowing that through the plan of our Almighty God, we don't need to worry! We will see our families again someday through following Gods plan. 

I have been having a great time on my mission. These guys are some of my best friends and its so crazy that I just met them 6 weeks ago!! I'm sad to leave them as some of them are heading off to Mozambique, Africa this sunday. But we are all planning on meeting up at BYU after the mish! 

Hope you are all doing well and have had and will have a great week. 

Obrigado por seus oracones
