So today I just wanted to just on a simple truth about the mission. Sometimes, nao (no) scratch that, all the time missionary work is just that.... a lot of work. It isn't easy. I wouldn't say, Wow this is the funnest thing that I have ever done!, but I will say that missionary work has been the most rewarding thing that I have done in my life. That feeling of waking up everyday knowing that you are fulfilling completamente a vontade do senhor (completely the will of the Lord). It is just something incredible. This week was one of the harder weeks. We got canceled on a ton, we had a lot of investigators who missed the church and so we are going to have to adiar os batismos (postpone baptisms). But in the middle of all of this we were able to baptize A really cool jovem se chama (young man called) Danny. He is really good friends with a lot of the people that we baptized recently and the highlight of the week veio (came) after he was baptized and the people baptised were invited to come to the front and bear testimony( we did our baptisms this week with a lot of other missionaries) And there was that awkward silence and then he got up, danny, who actually is super timid and shy and just gave a powerful testimony about the power of the holy spirit in our lives. Quero tetificar que esta Igraja e verdadeira. Tenho certeza sobre isso. Eu fiz uma oracao e recebi minha resposta, e eu sei que qualquer pessoa que nao tenha recebido uma resposta por si mesma pode receber uma testemunha.(I want to make sure that this is true. I'm sure about that. I made a prayer and received my answer, and I know that anyone who has not received an answer on their own can receive a witness.)
Ate mais meos amigos! (Until more friends!)
Jonny did not send pictures again this time, not sure why. But last week our son, Matt, sent a picture of Elder Draney (who is in his ward) that is also serving in Mozambique and is in the same zone as Jonny and Jonny is also in the picture....so I will send that:)
