This week was really uneventful except for Saturday...we went proselyting for real! We talked to real people on the busiest street in Sao Paulo and it was crazy!!! I was actually talking to people in Portuguese and they were able to understand me. My favorite conversation happened with this couple with a 5-month old girl. We were able to tell them that if they wanted, they could live as a family forever! They seemed very interested in this concept. That was pretty much the highlight of my week haha.
Next, I love the Brazilian elders!! Someone taught our Brazilian roommate how to say "Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" so he says it every night. His accent makes it even funnier, so our whole room is laughing so hard whenever he says it.
They still have sushi here!!!!!! And it is actually pretty good!! I paid $12 for a buffet of sushi, and it made me soooo happy. For all those who didn't know, sushi is by far one of my favorite foods, if not my favorite. Needless to say, it was probably the best meal I have had here.
My spiritual thought this week comes from Isaiah 53:3-5, specifically in verse 5. I was reading, and the phrase "with His stripes we are healed" hit me pretty hard. I know that our Savior endured every pain imaginable for each and EVERY one of us. Because of that, if we come to Him, He CAN and WILL heal us. I have experienced this process, and can testify that it is the most amazing and hopeful experience I have ever known. If there is anything in your life that needs healing, whether it be from sin, or just from life's trials, I invite everyone to use the power of the Atonement in order to be healed. It works, I KNOW it! I love all you guys!
Love, Elder Colton McOmber
