Opa!! Tudo bem com vocês???
Seria muito bom a fazer
essa carta em Portuguese para ver quem realmente gostaria ler minhas
cartas. Porque seria muito trabalho para botar tudo isso em Google
Translate e depois ler o que esta escrito. Mas eu acho que eu vou
escrever em Inglês para vocês.

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY DAD!!!! Thank you so much for being my hero and my example for
my entire life. Thank you for giving me advice about everything,
especially about a mission and for always teaching me everything I need
to know. I love you Dad! We had an amazing day today. We talked to a lot
of people trying to make up for the Carnival days this week and it went
well. We had really good lessons that were short and efficient. But
either than that it was a normal day.

Today
we talked to a lady who went to church last Sunday and she said that
she couldnt go to church anymore because she asked her pastor if she
could go to our church and he said no. I was just thinking, well, of
course he said no. But anyway. We also talked to a different lady who
had a dream that she was a foot tall and was talking to angels and that
she saw God and he broke the sky. But she also said that she wanted to
come to church so Im ok with that :)

Today
we had our first branch activity, because this branch is really needing
activities. We talked to a lot of people and they said that the last
time that they had an activity was in October, so we decided to change
that. We had a game night with a lot of great games and popcorn and cake
and food and we had about 15 kids there. Which may not sound like a lot
but when you think about the fact that there are only 12 young people
in the ward, I think it went pretty well :) We were so grateful for the
miracle.

Today,
as always was our Inviting-People-to-Church-Day. We invited a ton of
people and a lot of them said that they would come and that they were
excited about it. We even had one lady say, would it be alright if my
two friends came too. Yeah, I guess they can come ;) We have been
focusing really hard on bringing people to church and helping them feel
the spirit there and it is starting to pay off.

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY MATT!!!! Thank you for being my brother and one of my best friends. I love you so much and prayed for you all day. Today
we saw a miracle. The house that we meet in to have church isnt that
big but usually it isnt full. Today, with all of the work that we have
been putting in, The Lord blessed us with a completely full chapel and
even 5 people sitting outside the room listening to the talks. We were
so excited and grateful to have so many people there (even if that lady
with the crazy dream did bless her chair before she sat down in it). It
was such and incredible blessing. We then took the rest of the day to do
contacts and we contacted 55 people which is a lot for us. But it was a
really good day.
Random Thoughts:
- That lady, honestly blessed her chair before church. I knew she was blessing it because she was praying in a very very very loud "whisper."
- Four days ago it was 90 degrees. Today it is 50. I have no idea what happened. Summer disappeared real fast.
- We met a man named Rock and he went to church. I wanted to show him the scripture in Helaman 5:12 that talks about building your life upon the rock that is Christ. Unfortunately, the translation doesnt work.
- A sister in our district said that she doesnt know if she has a fiance or not. Im not sure how that is possible.
- We saw a scorpian then a scarab beetle then a spider the size of my hand. Then we saw an Asian house. I dont understand Brasil.
- The computer lady just put my bag on her counter for no good reason. Oh well.
Anyway,
I know that the Lord loves you all. I know that He is aware of your
situation and that he wants to help you. I know that even if we are
stressed or unsure of what to do, actually, especially if we are
stressed or unsure of what to do, we can turn to Christ and give it all
to Him. The Atonement is real!!
Love,
Elder Allen
