The mission tour meeting went awesome! The President of the Area of Brazil came and spoke to us. He gave some good training and inspirational messages but I'll get to that later!
Elder Schenewark has two more transfers than I do. He's from...everywhere cause his family always moved a lot because of his dad's work. He's a zone leader in the zone i used to be in, Zona Marilia. Now I'm in Zona Bauru and so haven't seen him for a few weeks.
Did you guys know that if Jesus were to return right now, Claudio R. M. Costa would become the president of Brazil? He's the president of the area of Brazil currently and so he would take the place of the current president! What's more is that he was in Londrina with us giving a training to us. He talked a lot about the spirit and how we need to leave shortly after getting the spirit into the lesson so that people will notice that it left with us and want it in their lives. He also spoke about how we need to speak to everybody!! That's something that i already knew I needed to improve. He also chose 10 missionaries to interview after he was done with his presentation and I was one of them!!
Here's a question for you to think about: if you had an opportunity to be in a room with a member of the presidency of the 70, below only the 12 and the prophet, and he asks you if you have any questions for him, what would you ask?
Before be asked me, I had about a million but when he asked, I just went blank! I stared at the ground for probably a good 20 or 30 seconds before aksing him a little more about the Spirit. After the interview (though it really was just a conversation) was over, about a million questions far better than I had before the interview came into my head. Anyways, it was a really cool day and we learned a lot. It really helped me to get re-motivated and excited for the work.
We are trying hard to meet new people here, we're not working as efficiently as possible though and that's something we will work on while we put into practice what President Costa taught us.
Tchau,
Elder Haws
