I am super good here in
Brazil. I am loving everything. I learned about optimism, which is probably one
of the best things in the world! I saw this video in a training and i want
everybody to go and watch it! It is in black and white and it is called "Validation"!
You will love it!! I got bit by a dog this week in the favela. Dont worry, it
didnt draw blood or anything. It just hurts so bad that i wanted to go back and
knock the lights out of that dog. But he was protecting a little boy in the
house. This little boy opened the door and the dog saw me in front of him. We
are teaching so many people. Pray for Cintia and Regina so that they can find
peace in the message of the Plan of Salvation because they have had some
intense experiences in life. Pray for Sandra so that she can be happy and
recognize the Grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. (If any of you would like to
understand better the Grace of Jesus Christ, then go and watch on youtube a
talk called "The workers of the Vineyard" by Elder Jefferey R. Holland).
Pray for Olenilton and Valeria, that their wedding this saturday can
go smoothly, so that the can feel comfortable with a baptisimal date the eight
of April, and so that the can be inspired to take care of their sons. Pray for
Waldisa, Felipe, Kauanny, Kauan, and Alexandre so that they can have their eyes
set on the blessings of the temple! These people are amazing and i love them so
much. They are blessings sent from Heavenly Father. I learn more with them than
they learn with me. I feel an eternal connection with them. I hope that they
can reach their eternal potencial as children of God. I hope that all of you
can be happy this week. Life is not easy but we can be happy. We have godly
potencial here on earth. We cannot find the happy life, we have to make it
following the teachings of Christ. He is our Savior. He went to the deepest
darkest extremes of eternity to save us and understand how to help us just
because we are children of His Father. He loves us like His Father loves us.
According to the talk "the workers of the vineyard", I am and will
always be the last worker to arrive in the day and that is why i am grateful
for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God in the flesh. Whose
ministry and sacrifice was testified by prophets in the Bible and in the Book
of Mormon!! Love all you guys! You are amazing people, doing amazing things!
Keep it up!
Com amor,
Elder Sanchez
