Hey so sorry for the past couple letters right now I'm lowkey driving to Brazil so I'll see y'all later but here's a nice picture of us eating epic pizza with our buddy Walter who got baptized.
Also here's a thought I had, I'm not sure why all the thoughts I share on my emails have to do with cleaning or bathrooms but I promise that when I teach people I go for other comparisons. Which has actually been something I've enjoyed learning on my mission is making comparisons. A companion I had told me he thought it was for having a virtuous mind.
Anyways so once we went to a gas station where we had to pay money to use the bathroom but we were poor. However there was a soda can that was holding the door open. That can allowed us to feel relief and joy. I imagine this being like Christ and His Atonemoent and justice. Does a price need to be paid to go the bathroom? Yes because somebody has to open to open the door but we are all poor and incapable of paying it. Jesus Christ paid the price and left us the means to enjoy salvation, a can holding open the door. I chose to take advantage of the can and enjoy salvation, other people didn't and they suffered trying to find another way to reach a bathroom that didn't exist. Our Savior paid the price and satisfied the justice, opening the door and left us the way to enter into His rest.
Hey so quick announcement I have a little more than 3 months in the office and I'm already leaving, President said he needed zone leaders and couldn't find any so he had to look closer to home. Since I've hardly talked about what I've been doing in the office I'll summarize real quick.
• We upload the missions baptisms, I made a digital way for the missionaries to pass the information which was cool.
• We do health stuff so we coordinated the missions flu shots and are in the process of covid vaccines
• Every week we design and put together the digital mission magazine. It should be a job for a team of pros so it's a fun challenge.
• We carry the missions yearly story that the Church stores.
• We do random things like materials and packages for the missionaries
• We're in charge of legal documentation for the missionaries.
• And well as an office we just do anything the President and the mission needs. Lots of travels for lots of reasons which I like. For example as I'm writing we are on the way to a border city with Brazil.
Anyways I loved the time I had, it got cut short but that's what happens with such a small mission. Supposedly 80 missionaries are coming at the end of the month. Please come. We are only 50 something. I learned a ton and was able to learn more humility, patience, and discipline.
Anyways I love everyone!!
