My companion and I were asked to give a training to all of the leaders in the interior of our mission at a mission conference this Friday. I am excited to speak, for I really love these opportunities to be able to instruct, but I feel so inadequate. I believe I need to understand the Atonement more. I know the scriptures lift me, and I have enjoyed the powerful change they have had over my mind. I pray that the Lord can provide me with the answers to the questions I have in my heart, the yearnings that I have. I believe He will.
I feel so blessed to have been able to study at BYU and to be here on my mission. I love BYU. I am so grateful for the chance I had to learn before my mission, and the rich opportunity I will have to learn after. I am so grateful for this education I am receiving here in Brasil. I am trying to get every single drop of learning that I can from my time here. I know that trials help us relate with God's children. Sunday we had a miracle when the husband of a member we have been teaching went to church for the first time in 7-10 years. We have been praying and trying to help him and it was a miracle to me.
As I think about the perfect love of the Lord, He declared that our joy shall be great if we help one soul enter into to Kingdom of God. Eduardo was baptized 2 weeks ago (Eduardo from Freguesia do Ó that came to church and is 25 years old). I feel that he will be an incredible servant in the church. I truly tried my best with him and others. I pray that the Lord can have mercy on me in my mistakes, and that I can feel and recognize the mercy he has.
I love you all with all of my heart. I think Elder Galvão and I are going to the gym today. I can't wait! He is very thankful for the letters. Thank you so much for writing them. Love, Spencer
