Então, hoje é o dia das transferências e depois de um ano nessa cidade amada, eu tenho sido transferido para a cidade do lado, Rio Grande!!!
So...
for those of you who did not understand that or may not be too excited
to put it in Google Translate and have a slightly skewed rendition of
what I said, today is transfer day and after one whole year in the same
city, I have been transferred. And I have been transferred to the city
really close called Rio Grande or in other words, Big River (original
right?), which is about 40 minutes away. I am super excited, my new
companion will be Elder Freitas who is amazing and Im super excited to
work with him and in this new zone.
Miracle:
- Just really quick, so for those of you who may or may not know, for the past month and a half, we have been planning a huge Christmas activity for literally 7 cities and it happened on Sunday. I am not going to go into a huge amount of detail of all that happened but long story short, everything in the world happened to make it seem like it wouldnt happen. Big and small things and computers breaking and miraculously downloading PowerPoint in about 40 minutes and tying lights to basketball hoops. But I have a testimony that God makes it possible. It was one of the most stressful things of my entire mission but I think it was one of the most gratifying things of my mission because at the end of it all, we put on a presentation that brought together 350 people from 7 cities, 2 stakes, 12 wards, 8 branches and over 150 miles away. I am sure and the Spirit testified to me during that event that this was one huge step towards the temple in Pelotas!
I
love the mission!!! I love the people of Brasil and love the Lord. Keep
on loving, even when it seems like the people you are loving dont
deserve it. Because even through all our imperfections, we are all
children of Heavenly Parents and we all need Their love. Be the means by
which the love of our Heavenly Parents is shown!!
Have an amazing week!!
Love,
Elder Campbell Jacob Allen
