Everything

Well this week went by like a hurricane! transfers are today, pretty sure Im staying in Centro Civico for another 6 weeks but I'll be having a new comp! Sis C is being transfered to Prudente... NO idea where the heck that is, but its super far away. 

Have a lot of things going on this week, in addition to a christmas conference with Pres & Sis G, so this'll be an awesome week for us, Im thinking! :) 

Have to share a funny story with yall before I forget. So me & Sis C were in Irmao M's car, he was driving us to someplace, cant remember, and he was giving us advice on how to help a woman were teaching quit smoking. My comp asked, "Wow Irmao! Did you have problems smoking??"

And he said he had problems with cerveja which is beer in portuguese. Though, I heard sorvete which is icecream. They sound SUPER similar to each other, right? So I pipe in and say, "Oh yeah, I do too Irmao M! Im addicted! Sorvete is a big problem for me!"

.....

The entire care went quiet because they thought I was talking about beer.... until I said icecream...

Eruption of laughter! Yeah, not my finest moment, but hey. Maybe my calling here is to bring the brasileros comic relief right? 

Now to the spiritual stuff! :)

Osvaldo came to church this sunday! And I was unbelievably happy. Seriously the sweetest man youll ever meet. During Sacrament I was sitting and praying while they were passing the sacrament & felt an overwhelming sense of love for him & for some of the other people in the ward whove been struggling with their testimonies. 

I prayed fervently all through the meeting that Osvaldo would know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ, that he would find the same happiness I have. Even in the hardest times, I know that theres no other place we can find unequivocal happiness or joy except through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Tears streamed down my face as I prayed to Heavenly Father that I would give everything and anything for Osvaldo to be happy. 

Which reminded me of a song Everything

& how can I stand here with you

& not be moved by you?

Would you tell me how could it be

Any better than this? 

Cause youre all I want

Youre all I need

Youre everything

Yes its a romantic song, but I think it applies to the gospel hands down. 

This gospel is everything, everything Nothing is better than the peace & joy that Ive found in this gospel. And thats exactly why Im here to bring this same happiness to the people in brazil. To give them everything
