First off, sorry for not warning that I wouldn't be writing yesterday! We spent all day in Belém at a mission conference! Elder Antunes from the Seventy visited us. So our p-day is today this week. (Also, transfers are next week, so if I don't write, you know why). But the conference was sooooooo wonderful yesterday! Elder Antunes is a firecracker! One minute he was reading the scriptures, explaining doctrine, and crying with emocion. And the next he was running, jumping, and yelling! (He reinacted how it was when David killed Goliath!) We spent the whole day, laughing, crying, and being spiritually fed! I learned soooooo much. He taught about a lot of things--how repentance is the ESSENCE of life, our true purpose to be here, how we need to have a change of heart--through the waters of baptism and the blood of Christ, partaking of the sacrament each week. He also taught us lots about teaching skills--using scriptures better, inspired questions, etc. AND he gave us some advice in how to stay strong after the mission--always paying your tithing, and marrying in the temple. Which you can do ONLY dating people who love and attend the temple regularly. The last part was a bit trunky, but all in all, I loved the conference. Learned so much.
The rest of our week was super crazy and as well. Lília and Gleyson got married on Saturday!!! I was one of the witnesses. :D We spent the afternoon getting their reception ready--which was super nice. :D It was so beautiful to see the love in their eyes, one for another. I really have seen the gospel change these people! They hardly spoke with eachother before, and now they are looking into the eternities. :D Also, their ceremony was super funny because the justice who married them had the funniest voice ever. It reminded me a lot of the Princess Bride."There is sunshine in my soul today!"
