What do you mean its on the other side of town?

Hey Everyone! 

so there were a lot of cool expirences this week. I would like to first start off with a funny one. So on exchanges, Elder Fragoso and I are taking the bikes for the day. First off let me tell you these bikes are horrible. My bike that i was using would skip a link and only had the front brakes. My companion(at the time Elder Frogoso) had no brakes and would have to stop with his shoes. So we just got out of a house were we tracted into and found an Inactive member that said we could come back. So first of when we left the house it was time for our dinner appointment. So we get on our bikes and go, but Elder Frogoso and i saw so many familys that we had to contact. So we go and we think we know where were going we take a left and go on the other side of town. We get there and we noticed we went to the complete wrong side of the street(its a long ongoing street that cuts across town). We ask a guy for directions and he said you need to go back on go on the other side of the town. We go up this hill and my bike is so bad that i couldn't get up it so i had to run with it up the hill. We get to the Other side and i'm pedalin and pedalin and this Hispanic guy laughs at me as i'm trying keep up with my companion. We pass the street go down another hill and relized we missed it. So i had to run up the hill with the bike again. We get there and we were an hour late. Food was still good though😋 

A spirtual expirece i had was when Elder Frogoso and I went to teach this Hispanic guy and he oly spoke Spanish. I could understand what he was saying though. He just asked questions on Questions and wasn't really looking at the Big picture. But we testified of the Book Of Mormon and the truthlness of it and the lesson completly turned around. He said he knew Joseph was a prophet and that he would read the book of Mormon. I know that the Book Of Mormon is true and i know that who ever reads it with real intent wanting to know the mysteries of God that he will open up the Heavens and give you an answer that its true.

Love you all,

Wow Esse Rapaz Tem 5 Nomes

Hey everyone! this week was awesome! Lots of miracles! let me tell you some.

-Steven got Baptized: so we had been working with Steven ever since i got into this area. Steven always had a desire to get Baptized but didn't understand really why he had to get Baptized by the Proper Authority. So we had taught him parts of The Restoration many, many times until it really sunk in. But it got scary when it was the day before his Baptism and he didn't under stand why his ancestors need to get baptized . We got worried about that because it was litreally the day before his Baptism. But we explained it to him again and then he Got it. The turn out was great and his mom showed up to his Baptism. 

-Next was Amalia: so we picked up this rapez named Mario and we picked him up and set a date with him for the 14th of September. So we try to see him the next few days and we saw him once. We planned on sunday to stop by again. We go and meet his Mom and she told us that she is a 7th day adventist and whatever. We started talking and she said she has wondered why there is 1 God and so many churched. We explained the Resto to her and she loved the message. She accepted a date to be baptized on the 14th and we feel strongly that she is going to get baptized. My comp said that he has always felt he should go talk to her but never did. 

I would like to leave my testimony that i know that this Church is true. That Christ lives and he is the Son of God. I know that as we walk the path of discipleship that we will become sons and daughters of an almighty and loving Heavenly Father. I promise that there are people ready for the restored Gospel and they are waiting for us to extend our arm and invite them . Bring them into the fold and let them know who they are and who they can become through our Brother and Master Jesus Christ i love you all.

THIS IS THE LORD'S WORK AND IT'S AMAZING

OI pessoal! Hey everyone! 

this week was awesome! many many meetings. I had to wear a suit almost everyday last week. Wore a suit 6 times last week. Let me give you guys the Run down. So Tuesday we had Interviews with President miller and we stayed in the Warwick Chapel all day Tuesday. Then Wednesday we had MLC(Missionary Leadership counsel) in Weston MA. We recieved the training that we will be giving our zone in a little under a month.Then the next day we got together with all the District leaders and had our own DLC(District Leadership council). Just trying to figure out what we could do to help the zone be great! Then on Friday we started to wear suit Jackets to District meeting so that we can have a more spiritual meeting every week. Then on Saturday SONIA AND JOSHUA WERE BAPTIZED!!!!! It was so awesome! Sonia shared a heart warming testimony on how she feel so good and feels something different while she reads the Book Of Mormon. She said she was thankful for us and what we taught her. Honestly the whole time that we taught her, we don't think she ever said our names, but she said them and knew them,we were surprised in that testimony. After that we got to take some of the Recent Converts up to the temple. We helped with Baptisms and sealings. Next day Sonia and Josh received the Holy Ghost. D&C121:46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever. So this week was super super busy week. Tons of meetings, tons of time spent trying to organize and figure things out , and getting things all together. But it was so worth it, when we saw Joshua and Sonia get Baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. I'm so thankful for all the time i've spent out here on the mist and i'm so thankful that i have 8 more months to do this work. I testify and know this is the lords work and it is amazing. Love you all, Fica com Deus

THREE MORE BAPTISMS THIS WEEKEND

So this is going to be really short...we just had transfers and i'm still with my companion Elder Coca and super excited to be serving another transfer here. This week we received a lot of new missionaries. So we extended a challenge to get 34 investigators from Wednesday to sunday and we got 30. This Zone killed it and we are so excited to be working with all these new missionaries. We are also having 3 Baptisms this Weekend. One is Steven who we have been working with for a while and the Others are Sonia and Joshua.! love you all, sorry ran out of time.

Please Open The Screen Window

So this week went well. Wanted to share some expirences with you guys. One was on exchanges with my son(Elder Phillipsen). So we went to go see there investigator and he is a little different. For example: We walked to his Back door and there was a dead Musk rat right in front of his door. So we knocked and tried to see him and nothing. So we decided to walk and we saw him coming our way. We talked to him and got to know him. Now this Investigator will believe anything he hears. We asked him why there was a dead musk rat at his door. He said it was to protect his house from something. He also told us that he thinks the Coyotes think of him as his pack leader and that the Pack leader gets the first big meal. So we go up stairs and we teach him the Word Of Wisdom. now at this time we'll just say he wasen't living it. We told him the first step is to get rid of the Coffee that he had(recently just bought this cup of coffee). So he said" i just bought it i don't want to waste it". So we said hey we will go buy you a big thing of juice if you get rid of that right now,"deal" throw coffee out the window and dosen't put up the screen or puts it down the drain he just straight up throws it at the screen. Elder Phillipsen and I were dying that lesson. He also told many different and hilarious things. 

Now to end off with a spiritual note. Elder Coca and i were stopping by to see our Investigator and just to make daily contact. We did and we left, but we decided to go a different way home. Our house was literally 1 minute away. But we went around the other side and contacted. We ended up in the Backyard of a cape Verdean home where there was tons of Cape verdeans and one less active cape verdean that we got her information to go back and see here. We also got the information of some of the other Cape verdeans that were there. I just wanted to testify that the Lord is constantly leading us. Its out choice whether or not we take that guidence.

Love you all

Kennedy's Baptism

Hey everyone! 

So this week was awesome not only for us but for the whole Zone. In total we had 3 confirmations and 4 Baptisms for the whole zone. Its was awesome! and Kennedy got Baptized. We have been working with Kennedy for a few weeks now. We knew that he was prepared from the first time that we  met him. I remember first meeting him and teaching the Restoration to him and his family. He said afterwards " yeah if you guys just stop by here i'll come to church with you". He is gonna get confirmed this next week and hopefully receive the Aaronic priesthood the week after. Now the next promising investigators are Sonia and Joshua. They are a mother and a son who we've been teaching for a couple weeks. They have a date for the 13 of Aug and there solid. We also have Kevin that will hopefully get Baptized that same day. Miracles on Miracles! Besides that we went to Zone conference and Elder Coca and I had to give a training for our zone. We felt the spirit strong and our words were just taken away by the Spirit. We talked about the importance of the scriptures and PMG , and that we can't teach with out the Spirit. We rode down to Zone conference in our brand new Toyota Tacoma! we got a truck ! When we got it ,it had 120 miles on it. Now we don't have to find rides to do exchanges. All toghether this was just a great spirit filled week.

I would like to end with my testimony that I know that we couldn't do anything without the Spirit of the Lord. If we trust in that promise that says D&C 11:21 Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men. I know that this is true first seek the Kingdom of God yourself then the Spirit will give that we you need for the convincing of men and in the bringing of souls to our father. Glory be to the Lord and his mercy upon us the Children of Men.

Love you all
