It's All For Rio! |
My dear friends,
"The greatest power any man can have on this earth is the power to change a life for the better."
I get to be a missionary in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and share the gospel principles taught by Christ's apostles after He was crucified. Missionaries are much like the Lord's gardeners: getting on our hands and knees, planting truth in His children's hearts, quenching spiritual thirst with Living Water, and working hard.
In order to stay focused and worthy of His direction, we are given one day a week to do necessary chores--laundry, email family, grocery shop, etc.--and twice a year to call home. This is why my lovely mother will be in control of my blog from now on.
Below are my mailing addresses, so please write me! I would love to hear from you. Thank you all for your love, kind words, and support. I have been blessed by your friendship. May the year 2012 be a year of growth for all of us!
