This week was crazy we had a lot happen we had transfers so went spent have the week saying goodbyes and the other half meeting new people. I'm trying Elder Andrus from Lehi, Utah and we moved to a new area.
This
new area has a lot of people, and the area is giant. We came into it having no
one to teach and are going to have to basically start new. There is lots of
hills and we have people in the north then 2 hours down we have people in the south,
so we are already walking a lot I hope I don't kill my newbie. I think the
weirdest part is that in English it translates to blue lake but there are no
lakes here.
So, my
companion finished the missionary training center Friday, and we started
working on Saturday. His Portuguese is pretty good speaking wise but it's hard
for him to understand what the people are saying and sometimes he asks me, and
I don't even know so these next few weeks will be fun. If any of you have tips
or tricks send them my way.
On
Wednesday we were walking around the temple, and we decided to talk to a lady
that was walking around. It turned out to be the temple president’s wife and
she said they need people to help with some of the ordinances that happen in
the temple, so we were able to help her. The ordinances that happen are to help
people who have passed away receive an opportunity to make covenants with God
because we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn about God
and receive his glory and promises. This is one thing I thought about a lot
when I was inside and we need to be doing more on both sides, we need to start
giving people the opportunity to learn about God right now, but also people who
are able to and have the ability to do temple work need to be helping. We have
people who have died and are waiting to receive these ordinances. (If this
doesn't make since reach out to me or the missionaries and we can explain more
about what we believe)
