(Elder Mackrory)
Fala pessoal! Tudo bem?
It's been an interesting week, vamos lá. According to some
miracle or otherwise, I saw 19 fuscas this week for a total of 664. That hasn't
happened since the last slow week in my last area. But let's get going.
On pday last week, my companion and I decided to spend the
day chilling at the church, since the Wi-Fi is really good. After that, we had
a family night with a member of the bishopric and his family. Good time. During
the 3 hours We spent in the streets, I saw 7 fuscas. I was like woah hey a
fusca. Woah hey another one. Woah wait a third one? And they just kept showing
up.
During the week, not many out-of-the-ordinary,
worthy-of-the-email things happened. It's a strange feeling to have a fully
productive week and not remember a single thing. It did rain a bit, which
hindered our finding techniques, but outside of that just the usual daily
schedule. At least not enough to write paragraphs upon paragraphs.
-it got down to 66 this week and I was absolutely freezing.
Jacket and long sleeves and still shivering. When I come back it's gonna be
awful. Before I left, the summer in New Mexico started early and got hot. I
remember a week or two where it stayed above 100⁰ every day. Then I arrived in
Rio at the start of the Summer. If 66 is the lowest it gets during the winter
here, I'll be living in summer for a total of two and a half years before I
dive right into Utah winter. Gonna be a real smooth transition.
-on Sunday we stayed for almost an hour and a half after
church finalizing the records of Camila, Miguel, and Sheila. Both Camila and
Sheila got interviewed for temple recommends, and got them. Oh yeah and Miguel
and Sheila got confirmed during the church service too.
-lunch On Sunday was really interesting. The brother who
hosted us showed us his new phone (Samsung 24 Ultra) and some of the new
features. His cameras are better than my eyes. He can film in 8k and get
quality photos at 100x zoom. He also showed us a bunch of features that as a
future engineering student really appealed to me, such as customization and
compatibility with windows. Needless to say, some of y'all might be sending me
green texts when I get back.
So actually I lied, paragraphs just come. But it was a good,
fun, and spiritually uplifting week.

Tender Mercy:
This whole transfer. I haven't ever lived with anyone
finished their mission before. This Thursday, Elder de Oliveira hoes home. It
has been awesome to learn from him. He has a gift to speak with the power of
the Holy Ghost and explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Those
two things happen at exactly the same time because they are the same thing.
That's something I realized this transfer to a fuller amount because of Elder
de Oliveira. Clarity of mind is what the Spirit brings.
Spiritual thought:
God sees immeasurable potential in each one of us. But Satan
does too. God has prepared the way for us to return to Him, but Satan has
prepared another way for you too. The difference is that in order to follow
God's path, we need to search for it. Satan's plan is ever before us. It is
only by following God's commanded precepts that we will know His path.
Matthew 7:
7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened
Tchau for now,
Elder Mackrory
