It seems that the Lord is either pleased or very upset at my work in Paysandu, because I have been transferred already. They are sending me back to Montevideo. Bright lights, Big city! Only 1 transfer here in Paysandu and I already have to leave my kid. He will be alright though. He is a faithful missionary and has been a very good companion. I have enjoyed the 6 weeks with Elder Ericson. I am going from a "greeny" to a "trunky". My new companion is in his last change of his mission, which means again I will be with my companion only one change. But I will probably stay put there in Deo I think. I love that city and I have no complaints going back. I get on a bus tonight.
The other good news about going to Montevideo is I am going just in time. Elder Walter F Gonzalez of the Presidency of the Seventy is going to be speaking to all of the missionaries tomorrow in Montevideo. We still haven’t received a visit from anyone of the Quorum of the 12 yet, but I am excited to go and hear Elder Gonzalez. He is from Montevideo and he was a Stake President here in Paysandu once upon a time. I have been reading a History of the Church in Uruguay book. It is fun.
I am still awaiting help understanding the lyrics to Yellow. Christian, you need to get on this. Luke and Matt you are invited to take a whack at it. I am sure that the song is about love and sacrifice, and especially possible that great Sacrifice for us all. But I would like help interpreting.
I know that Jesus Christ lives. I love Him so much. And I know that we can achieve closeness to God. Through prayer and humble seeking we can come to know Him better. His church has been restored to the Earth. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation, as was restored to understanding by the modern prophets. It is such a perfect plan. Because I know that Jesus lives, I know that His church is restored without a doubt. We know that God is fair, just, and loving. Only one church has the fullness of that doctrine and even comes close to comprehending the justice and mercy with which God will deal with us. I know that it is true. I love you all!
