I Love Listening to the Prophets voice!!!!

 

So hey everybody! once again we have the drewbie from brazil sending out a HELLO to the whole world! haha!

so this week we I seriously saw a miracle of change in a man. remember that guy that i mentioned last week who went to the hospital and lived? well when we went back a couple of days he had totally changed his living condition. when we first met him he was a drunkard and it just seemed like his life was lost to the alcohol. He asked us to help him and so we visited him a couple times the first visit he was drunk again and could barely hold a conversation. his house was a wreck and it was just a really sad thing to see. then he got sick and when he recovered he changed it all. he cleaned his house and gave up the alcohol. the wierdest thing is that you can see it in his countanance. i´ve never really seen it before but his face literally changed. he really was a new guy. he could hold intelligent conversations. and we also found the cause of the miracle. The book of mormon. he told us that he had been reading that book a lot ever since we gave it to him. its amazing to see the difference that it made in his life. I can think of no other reason for such a rapid change in a man. The book is true and it can change lives. Just sayin. =) 

So once upon a time it was general conference!!! woop woop!!! yes I got too hear all of the talks and they were great. for the first time in my life I found that one of my favorite talks come from one of the sisters. kinda strange huh? (i´m not sexist, i promise!) yea it was by linda reeves. she just made the connection really clear as to how we can change our lives. we dont change our lives by stopping just what is bad in our lives. we have to substitute the bad with the good. she made the connection really clear that if you have a problem such as an addiction of sorts, what you need to do is adopt the patterns of scripture study, prayer, and church attendance. seems pretty basic but its true. follow that pattern and almost any problem emotional physical or spiritual can be fixed. its not a sure fire answer to everything but its certainly the start of fixing just about anything

well yea I think i´m off for now. i´m already over my time limit. I love you my friends and family! Tchau Tchau!!!
