Happy Mother's Day

Well I shared a good portion of stuff in the call yesterday, but there were some interesting happening during the week that I forgot to share.

Last Monday after emailing, I discovered that the most ineffective way to write letters is in a hammock, because you just end up falling  asleep.

Wednesday we worked in the Boa Vista ward, which marked the last time that we have to work outside our area for the time being. It was a cool experience, because we went tracking with a couple members, one of which is preparing to serve a mission.

Friday we had a zone conference in Uberlandia, which meant waking up at 430 to catch our rented van. The conference was amazing and instilled a renewed desire to be a more effective instrument in the hands of the Lord.

One of the things that President Prieto shared in the conference was a statistic of the progress our mission is having in baptisms. We saw that for every lesson with a member the mission had (average per companionship) the mission had about thirty more baptisms. One of the most important parts of missionary work is help from members. 

This week we went to back for our second visit at the house of a somewhat elderly woman. She has a lot of family, but because of personal responsibilities (taking care of her parents) she never had the opportunity to start a family of her own. She´s quite the amazing person and she came to church this Sunday.

Sunday was a rush to get things done before the phone call. 

I´m super excited for the coming weeks, with all the things we have planned to accomplish.

I must go now, but I loves you all!

Love,

Elder David Short
