Weekly Letter-Sept. 23

Olá Família,
    This week was good. This week we did a few splits with the other Elders in our district and we were able to learn a lot. We have a lot of people to visit and teach and so that is good. We are always finding new people and getting to help them learn more about the gospel. During our splits, we sat down to rest a little while my companion looked for our nest address in his planner. As we sat there I looked around and jokingly said that our next appointment would be in a certain yellow house a short distance away. When he found the address and we looked at the house number it matched exactly with the house that I had said. I surprised myself and learned one more time that the spirit can give what seems like tiny impressions, to help and guide us. It was a cool experience, because it wasn´t like we were lost or had lost the address or anything, but the Lord was showing us were we needed to go and confirmed to us that we needed to knock on their door. Side note that the person we were searching wasn´t home, but we were able to talk to her mom and marked another date to return. haha. But we never know how the little things and choices will effect the future of the people we teach. I love being here and learning small truths of  the gospel and growing my testimony little by little here in Brazil. Even though it is hot, the food is always the same, and I don't have any personal space, I wouldn´t trade the mission experience for anything. Love you guys and wish you the best!
- Elder Child
