"Elder fernando.......... he is sooo funny"
Hello family!!!
I bet that everyone is anxious to here how it was one more week in the mission field!!! But this week was a little different, probably one of the better weeks in the past 7 months!!! This week was zone conference and division!!!!!
So to start off, we caught a bus to the city of Alegrete!!! It’s about a 2 and a half hour bus ride.. we arrive and had such an amazing conference!! We talked about the goals and how we need to keep the rules!! I was surprised at how many people weren’t keeping the rules, weren’t studying ect… our president kind of put us in our place which was good!! And then we learned about the Book of Mormon again, and how we can find any answer to any situation in our life!! We also learned about the question of the soul or in another words… questions that everyone has about our life and what’s going to happen with us ect… really the Book of Mormon is something that is essential in our lives! We learn so much from it every time that we apply it and let it have a part in our life… so ya that was basically zone conference but the fun didn’t end there… I stayed in Alegrete for 5 days!!!!!
These five days were easily some of the greatest days ever!! I was with a lot of my buddies and I was with my zone leader that is one of my best friends here on the mission… Elder Hurst!! We really worked hard but it was a fun work and we studied and stuff together it was just different than any other experience that I have had!! So that was great!! To tell you a little bit more about the division, they had a huge activity… in fact they do one every Thursday and there is usually 150 people there every week which is amazing!!! It was so great to see a ward function in this manner!! And to see the families that were there and the people have a good time and being happy!! So that was pretty much my week!! It was great!!
Something funny is that at zone conference I got 3 boxes hahahahahhahaha gosh everyone was just ahhh little mommas boy gets 3 boxes hahah I love it SO much and then they said I wish I receive boxes… but I had to explain to them that they would have to be the only boy with four sisters for this to happen to them!! But it was great! And everyone was grateful to get a little something, something Americano if you know what I mean haha!! So everyone says thanks mom and dad!!!
Life as a missionary is SO great when you are doing the right things… of course we are free to choose what type of missionary that we would like to be.. we have a president but we are far away from him and almost all the time he doesn’t know what’s going on….. Here in Sao Gabriel we have a branch but quite frankly they could care less about what we do or what we don’t, but there is someone that is always watching and that is our Heavenly Father, and there are always people wanting to know and learn more about the only true church of God here one earth! We have the choice every day of what type of person that we would like to be and if we keep in mind that we (as members) all have the responsibility to share and be an example of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints every day!! Make a choice today, who you really want to be and follow firmly!! The road is quite clear if we understand the scriptures and if we open our heart and allow our Heavenly Father to show us.. this doesn’t mean that the road is easy, but its worth it!!! I promise you!! The church is true and you can know for yourself!! Just ask!!! Knock and it shall be given unto you!! Our Heavenly Father wants us all to return back to him but it’s up to us!! We all already chose to follow him once… will we do it again!!!!!?
I love you all so much!!! Thanks so much for your love and your prayers and your cards you guys are all amazing!! Stay happy and safe!! And have a great week!! Love you all!!
Elder Wiscomb!
