the auditor came on tuesday so monday president requested that we do a deep clean on the office. the place is looking awesome and i finally feel like i know where stuff is now hahah after almost 3 months im still a little lost. also we have a safe here in the office for passports and stuff but no one has ever been able to shut it and get the combination to work. we spent about two hours on it and got 3 blisters and it still didnt shut. but were gonna get a new one.
when the auditor came president brought breakfast and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies from sister bangerter (pretty tasty but not as good as rachy's) and started to treat to every whim of the auditor. so i kinda hung out with presidnet bangerter while the auditor was with elder cantuario and then we went to the pelourinho haahhaha so yeah i got an extra p day this week. being secretary is cool sometimes. then we were able to teach vivaldo and reinaldo about the law of chastity and they actually loved it. we challenged vivaldo to talk to his wife and ask her to marry him! lets see what happens!!
wednesday we had zone meeting with President in the morning and training from São Paulo in the afternoon so it was a full day. we got to our area and were able to do some invitations to conference! President gave us a goal to invite well over 100 people to conference this week! thursday/friday we had a busy days organizing the office a little bit more and organizing documents/spreadsheets and folders on the computers to do back ups. Soon theyre gonna do a revamp/remodel in the office and mission home in preparation for the new president in june. sounds like such a thrilling day right?? nothing better than microsoft word and excel. but We have to treat this matters with care because its the organization of the Lords work here. D+C 84 am i right?
This week in preparation for conference I have been thinking about how grateful i am for modern day prophets and revelation. This weekend (today/tomorow) we wil have the opportunity to sustain two new apostles and our beloved prophet. Without prophets we wouldnt have the book of mormon or so much knowledge that we have gained in the past 200 years about Our Heavenly Father and his plan for us. I was also thinking a lot (after looking at some pictures) about our leaders. I used to think every conference weekend "goodness i gotta listen to all these old guys again??" but now i understand why. many people critize the church for our leadership being a bunch of guys who already have 234234513 great grandchildren and more than 70 years of age. But thats the beauty of it all, we have the people with the most experience practice and true wisdom in the world. They have survived generations and generations happily and with success without bending or breaking their morals because of the world. Who better to trust? not to mention that they were chosen of God. I am so grateful for their wisdom and leadership! respect your elders!
love elder prince
WE WENT TO THE PELOURINHO WITH THE AUDITOR AND PRESIDENT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
