Weekly Letter

Olá Família,
    This last week was pretty interesting. We are trying to use all our time wisely because now we have to cover twice the distance that we used to. We have been running around a lot but its been good. We don´t know how long we will stay in a trio, so i will try to get used to it. Elder Melo has been sick this week too, so that slowed us down. On Thursday we went to the hospital and they couldn't find anything wrong so we just went home and he stayed in bed, Friday night we decided to go to the center of the city to another hospital. The passed him some medicine and he has gotten better. We have also been teaching the Irmas here how to make ties, so I will send a picture. We also picked a jack fruit a while back and finally got around to eating it, so there is a picture of the thing you eat, and the pit. haha
   This last week we have started a 90 day reading of the Book of Mormon before Christmas. It always surprises me to read about the Faith that Lehi´s family had. They might not have been completely on the same page, but they still used their faith and acted on it. Our faith is nothing without our actions. And our actions have little effect without our faith. That is one thing I am trying to remember and apply more in my life. We always need to pray like everything depends on God, AND work like everything depends on us. That is when the atonement will work and make up the difference. I am glad to be here serving my God and my Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ , amen.
  Love you all,
- Elder Child
