SO PRESIDENTE CASTRO DEUS IS BECOMING ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS. HE APPEARED IN OUR DISTRIVCT MEETING THIS WEEK AND HE´S TEACHIUNG US A LOT ABOUT SEARCHING FOR TRUTH AND LIGHT AND CHRIST. I AM LEARNING A TON ABOUT REVELATION. WE ARE NOT LIMITED TO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN OUR PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS BUT CAN DISCOVER MORE THROUGH RELVELATION STUDYING HOW NEPHI RECEIVED REVALTION IN 1 NEPHI 11. DESIRE, FAITH, PONDERING IN HIS HEART… IT´S FASCINATING. WE CAN RECEIVE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS, WHAT TYPE OF SPIRIT WAS I IN THE PRE-EXSISTENCE? WHY WAS I RESERVED TO COME TO EARTH IN THIS TIME WHEN THE GOSPEL IS ON THE EARTH? WHAT ARE MY TALENTS? IT´S AMAZING EVERY DAY IS A SEARCH FOR TRUTH AND LIGHT WHICH IS ONLY FOUND IN CHRIST. I AM GROWING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO MY SAVIOR EACH DAY AND WANT TO BE LIKE HIM. WE SEARCH FOR HIM THROUGH SERVING OTHERS AND STUDYING THE SCRIPTURES. I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES AND RECEIVE SO MUCH STRENGTH FROM THEM EACH DAY. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS TIME I HAVE TO FOCUS ON MY SPIRITUALITY. I AM HERE IN CAMPINAS TODAY SPENDING THE LAST PDAY WITH SISTER SOUZA AND ATE LUNCH WITH A RECENT CONVERT. IT GOOD. I AM GOING TO MISS SISTER SOUZA LIKE NONE OTHER!! SHE´S LEAVING MONDAY. CAN´T BELIEVE THE TIME THAT HAS PAST. THE BISPO TOOK ON GOOGLE EARTH DURING LUNCH AT HIS HOUSE AND I SAW HOME AND EVERYTHING. SO FUNNY BRYCE FORGOT HIS TALK, FATHER LIKE SON. I MISS YOU GUYS LIKE CRAZY. WELL I WANT PICTURES!! CONGRATS ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR DOWN… ENJOY THE WARM SUN FOR ME!! I CAN´T BELIEVE HOW COLD IT GETS HERE IN BRASIL, FOOLED ME!! HAHAHAI LOVE YOU ALL AND TAKE CARE OF GRANDMA & GRANDPA. LOVE,RACHEL
