This week was once again full of
hard work and miracles. We were able
help 4 youth get to church on Sunday and they are all friends taking the discusions
together. It gets a little rowdy at
times... so we will have to figure out how to keep the Spirit in our lessons a
little better. But I like them all a lot
- our ward is lacking a bit with youth, and I think the entire ward liked
having them there. Sunday we also found
a family that looks very promising. Its
always great when you explain the Book of Mormon to someone and they understand
and have intelligent questions.
We have also learned a little
about faith and hope, and that when we set righteous goals, Satan doesnt want
us to reach them. To explain: the police
here in Bahia are on strike. All of
them. Which means there has been a
little... disturbance of the peace in a few areas, and today we were informed
that we cant go into one part of our area... which would happen to be the part
that we are working in. It made me think
a lot about the Book of Mormon and the war chapters, and the idea that when our
political leaders are corrupt, the entire civilization is in jeoperdy. It also made me realize that those war
chapters are a whole lot more applicable to our days and the future than I ever
thought before. They really are there to
guide us and to help us figure out what we should be doing and who we should be
standing with. They talk about the
leaders on both sides of the fight and the qualities and arguments that the
leaders have for doing what they are doing.
It is interesting to compare to what leaders are saying and doing now...
its quite the reflection.
But in everything, I still have
an unshakeable hope in the things we are doing.
The Great Jehovah has not said "The work is done", and
therefore I know that there is much work to do, and that He is here working
with us.
Obrigada por suas orações - elas
ajudam mais do que vocês sabem.
Um grande abraço -
Sister Petersen
