rock n roll n righteousness

This week was a crazy one. As a mission, we have been focused on being more consistent with the level of our work. It is really easy because we have transfers every 6 weeks to work really hard to find people the first weeks of the transfer and the last half to stop finding people because they won't get baptized when you're there. But we are trying to change that so that we work hard always and always have people that we can always help to be baptized.

This week, we had a workshop with the leaders of our mission for our zone. They basically helped us make plans for how we could do the work with the most efficacy possible and be more consistent. A lot of revelation was received and as always when revelation is received, we have a couple of ways that we can react. We can say our leaders don't know what's going on or the situation and we can ignore and not apply what we learn  and be left to our own wisdom and force. Or we can apply the revelation and receive the blessings. Thankfully, our district was humble and we applied what was received and blessings have been poured out here in Amadora. Afonso the child that we were trying to help get baptized this past week but fell through, over came his problems and was baptized because of the revelation that was received in the workshop. Goes to show that we have leaders that have been called to help and have the right to revelation that will guide us to fulfill our purpose. 

I have changed the way I have been studying recently. I have been dissecting each verse of scripture that I read through questions. I read a scripture and with every phrase and word I make the most number of questions that I can and I see the scriptures through different lenses and receive revelation. The only thing is that it's a little annoying because it takes a lot of time. This week I spent 30 minutes pondering about 1 verse in the Book of Mormon. Our mission president is doing the same thing with the Book of Mormon, he started 5 months ago and is only in 2 Ne 7. But it's cool receiving that revelation.

The mission is going well and learning a lot and I'm having a blast.
