Dearest Dear Ones,
Time is a cruel master that likes to pass by too quickly, and this last
week has been no exception. It seems like yesterday that I was in
Goiânia renewing my visa, but now we´re on the fourth week of the
transfer.
Some of the exciting stuff that has happened this week:
We have been working with a high set of goals for about the last eight
months or so, but now we have reached several, which means that its time
to set new goals. President also shared some of the rewards for meeting
those goals. All companionships that baptize
six in the month of June get to go to Goiânia for a festa Junina, which
is a basically a corn festival in June. Since Elder De Abreu and I
baptized six last week, we´ll be going to Goiânia next week for P-day.
President Prieto came to Uberaba to talk about some of these goals.
President also came to talk about the strength of our teaching. We
reviewed the lessons and practiced some of the principles. We quickly
saw that we had a lot of techniques, but we lacked on
teaching the heart of the doctrine. We were all dry rub and no steak.
Now we´ve made some plans and now we´re going to be better. We Shall
Baptize the World! or at least Uberaba.
Thursday we started up our English class again. This time I´m a little
more confident in the success we´ll have. The majority of our class is
recent converts, but we´ve had a lot of investigators that have said
they´d come.
As we have a bunch of recent converts that are seminary age, we have
they the responsibility to take them to seminary for the first time. So
Saturday we watched seminary and had the privilege to eat the snack with
the rest of the kids.
Sunday was ward conference and the stake brought the stake choir with
them. Since we meet in a rented house, it was a little tough to fit
everyone in together. After church, we had planned to go on splits with
the members , but lunch was late and things didn´t
work out. Our young man recent convert said he wanted to make visits
with us, so he grabbed a tie and he spent the whole day teaching with
us. He´s going to be such a great missionary in a year and a half.
That´s about all I have for this week.
Read Jacob 5!
Love,
Elder David Short
