I Found the Next Prophet

-
So i will continue to talk about our Stake President here and that he is literally one of the coolest, strongest men in this church. He is such a stud example to me here in the work. At the seminary graduation for the ward last night he called all the members out to share a Book of Mormon with someone and invite the missionaries to talk with them about it. Im super pumped to work with the ward for these next weeks. 

We are finding the Lord's elects here! I did a contact with a 23 year old guy Bruno on Saturday, he went to church on Sunday, and is already preparing for his baptismal date this sunday. We are also teaching a young man named Alfredo who literally has given us some of the best questions while we teach him. He asked the other day, "and what about the people here on earth who never get the chance to hear about the gospel of Jesus Christ?" What an elite question!! Good thing we had the answers(; Finally we are teaching a girl named Sara whos sisters are both baptized in the church. She is taking a little more time but we have seen a HUGE progress with her in the last week. She really has a desire to learn what the Lord wants for her in her life and also recieve the Holy Ghost to guide her in her life. 

Our stake president shared a scripture that says something like "the Lords elects will be ready in the moment to hear the message of the restored gospel." I have seen how true this is. We are focused on finding these elects in our area. I know there are many waiting for us. 

Love you all. Happy thanksgiving!

Gurksnis, Grayson Robert Oi Presidente, tudo bem? Estou muito bem aqui no escritório. É realmente um privilégio de estar aqui trabalhando um pouco mais perto com o senhor.

Haha so the long wait here in South America may be coming to an end. My cellphone from 2002 is gonna get a little bit better soon! My mission was chosen to do a flight project of more advanced cell phones for missionaries here in South America like they have in the U.S, Canada, etc. Its very slow going and we will have very little access to things but its an exciting step that I know will help us to be more productive and effective and overall help edify even more the kingdom of God here on earth. This week we are really working with some elects. Sadly, Bruno didnt work out this Sunday, but we are still working with him to be baptized this next week. But I am super super excited about the rest of the people we are working with. Sara first of all is way firm for this Sunday. She has made a huge huge progress recently. Its been amazing to see. 2 weeks ago we knocked on her door and her sister answered telling us that Sara had said she didnt wanna be baptized in our church. But we dec...

this week our hot water/electricity stopped working exactly in the coldest week of the year hahah. But its mission memories so I was all down for it. When you get really hyped up its not even that cold. Hahah sometimes in my prayers I just ask the Lord for experiences. I dont specify the kind of experiences I want, but I know the mission is all about experiences so I've been able to have all kinds of experiences while here in Brazil. Thats what I love so much about the mission is you really never know what your day is gonna be like and who you will end of meeting, etc.  This week our focus was marking a date with Aldair. He has already been to church 3 times and had already accepted baptism, but we werent able to mark a specific date with him. When we went there on Wednesday, he was super firm in wanting to be baptized on this next sunday the 15th. We feel that he really was an elect from the Lord. He's a 55 year old man, he doesnt smoke, doesnt drink, doesnt drink coffee, ...
