Elder Jacob Anderson's latest letter from Rio


Soo the highlight of this week is Alef was baptized!!! It was awesome it was soo cooooooooll to seem him change. He is a very bright future ahead of him! The gospel will refine his life and he will become something he could have never even imagine before.. We have already made goals with him to get the Priesthood so he can baptize his brothers and sister as well in the next few weeks ;) They are all super excited about that!!
Me and my comp are really focusing on finding people. Our mission president wants us to baptize semanalmente!! The 70 who visited us told us this is a realistic goal. So we need to find around 60 new people to teach and invite to be baptized every single week. We just need to start talking to the whooole world. Its easy to be a missionary when you are teaching or visiting member. But we need to focus on being missionaries every moment of the day.
This week i thought a lot about his scripture.. "And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of theLamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church ofthe Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who werescattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed withrighteousness and with the power of God in great glory."
 As members of the church we have a right to this promise. When we are righteous we have the promise of 1- power of God and 2- Great glory.

We shouldnt be ashamed at any moment. But we should excel to bebetter every moment. we will receive more and more. We have the capasidade to do sooo much!! look to the Lord for help and he will bless you. Read the scriptures looking for answers. The Book of Mormon was written for us. Literally. The prophets who wrote it had visions about us and wrote wrote it for us.
