July 16, 2011

Dear Family: All is going well here in the MTC. Today might be my last Sunday in the MTC as in I leave this week!! Crazy. It was also Fast Sunday and I really have grown to love the power of a fast. The Lord can really strengthen you when you are at your weakest point. I'm kinda homesick but I feel like that's mainly related to nervous..Oh! So this Thursday we had the opportunity to go out and proselyt. We had the best experience. So for the first forty minutes we walked around asked a lot of people if they wanted to hear our message. Everyone said either A. noio tempo Eu tenho um reunioo. B. eu tenho esto livro ( but they hadn't read it) or C. already a member. But we ran into one guy and all I can say is that man was so ready to accept the gospel in his life. He knew english! It was a major blessing. He was thinking about life alot and that he hadn't heard alot about God lately. We taught him like all of the first lesson. It was so cool. Just what I needed! It was crazy spiritual. The other two we gave away were door knocking. We knocked on this man's door and I started talking. Asked him if he wanted a book and he said if you want to give me it I will take it. Then I explained what it was and then again asked him if he wanted it and he said yeah. It was awesome. I really feel that they might actually read it. But other than that experience nothing else exciting. My portuguese is pretty good, but I'm going to start the Book of Mormon challenge given by Pres. Hinckley to read it in a language and you will become fluent quicker. One Elder has 100 pages left and he's pretty good at speaking, but he also had a semester 8 credit class on it so.. But that's about all I have to say for today. Thanks for all the letters. I Love You all! Tchaou Elder Deakin P.S. We saw this moth bigger than my hand in the hall last night. It was cool.
