Concrete Gym

So, last week I got my new companion, Elder Barrus, and he got a cold right as he got here. That meant we didn't leave too much and we contacted lots and lots on the phone. It's all good though because we set up lots of lessons for this week! One of the first things we did when he got here is buy a metal bar, 4 5 liter jugs of water, and about 90 pounds worth of concrete and we made ourselves a gym! I'm very excited to actually be able to do some more legit workouts.

This week we had the opportunity to join in on a devotional with every mission in Brazil and Elder Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve spoke! It was very, very good. It testified to me that we have a prophet and apostles on this earth today who were called by God! How blessed are we??
We had a lesson last night and the lady we were teaching had lost her husband. She was so thankful for the message we were sharing because of the hope it gives her to live with and see him again, and even be sealed for eternity! This Gospel is a gospel of hope and healing. Please come and be healed. 
Matthew 11 
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I love you all, and I'm so sorry I don't have too many pictures!

June 28, 2021 Hey everyone! This won't be a super long email because I'm semi locked down and we don't get to do much that's worth writing about. One thing that did happen this week was that as we were walking down the little alley way to our front door, I was throwing the keys and they got stuck on a horizontal pillar that connects the two walls. We couldn't get into the house because the door was locked and we couldn't leave because the gate at the front of the alley already re locked! So, I took my shoes and socks off and spidermanned my way up there by pushing on both walls (kinda like in Emperors New Groove) and climbed up to get the keys. When I came back down my companion said something about his freaking crazy American comp, but it was kinda funny! I did, however, shred my hands because the stucco was so rough. Oh well. I've had a LOT of time to study this week and I want to testify to everyone about the eternal truths in the Book of Mormon. What rea...
