Hey Every body!
Well mom i hope your alright. sugury is never fun. know that i´m praying for your well being too. =) Happy fathers day too dad! hope all went well on your special day! I hope you know that I chuckle quite a bit when i read that my old Papa is getting into the music of our day. =)
So the world cup started down here and its pretty much nuts now... we havent had to change our techniques all that much but we just cant be in the streets during the games of brazil. when brazil played last thursday it was pretty stinking nuts. we had to stay in our house for the rest of the day because the people just started going crazy. they started blowing really annoying horns throwing out about 10,000 dollars worth of fireworks about every 10 seconds. it was awesome. I got a little bit of it on film so i´ll have to show you guys when i get a chance to show you my videos.
Also... like a said in the subject line. God truly has a sense of humor. I was rather concerned with myself this week. I started reading about how, as a missionary, my faith should be strong enough to be able to do miracles. I dont just need to believe in god but believe that he has real power in heaven as he does on earth. When I got right down to it I found I had something like a lack of trust. I didnt doubt that god COULD do it. but i had a real hard time believing that he WOULD. So I started Praying that I might know that god really does miracles.
Yesterday we went to the house of an old woman Named Luzia. she was a woman who had recently been put in the hospital and just got home a couple days ago. she asked for a preisthood blessing that she may be comforted in her trials. we pronounced a blessing and she thanked us and we were on our way. but then she stopped us and asked us to also give a Blessing on her Newly born Great Grand Daughter. This little Child had been unable to "bomb the harbar" for 4 days and she was really concerned about it. so we did as she asked and gave the baby a blessing. no more then ten minutes later as we are about to leave her house and the Babys mother runs in the house and screams "SHES POOPING!!!" but if i may illustrate the scene for you it was not just a poop. as she was carrying her the little baby left so much that it started seeping out the sides of the diaper and left a nice little track on the floor of where they were carrying her. they basically held her up like the monkey does with cimba in the lion king. every one was either laughing with joy or crying and thanking their heavonly father for the miraculous occurance.
When people say that god works in mysterious ways they aren´t kidding. as an answer to my prayer to believe that god does miracles AND that he may do miracles through me. he placed a constipated baby in my path that i might bless her. and the blessing worked so well that the fun prizes she left for everyone even got stuck in her hair. it was one of the most amazing if not a little nausiating things i´d ever seen.
well i´d best be off. we´ll see you guys next week!
