2 Travel Memoirs of Brasil 2011

It’s a meeting for the missionaries getting transferred today. The missionaries are excited and nervous! But the spirit is here with them and they have a strong desire to serve the Lord. How blessed we are to see. The Lord has blessed Elder Millyard with a wonderful mission experience that will bless him for the remainder of his life as he continues faithful in doing the Lords work. The Mission Presidents’ wife began the meeting and spoke to the elders of the time spent in the mission… “how fast it comes and goes. Be grateful you are here to serve – Thank Heavenly Father that you are here!” she spoke more on sacrifice… “Brings forth blessings – ‘Righteous Sacrifice’ is a gift to the Lord. We made covenants in the temple to offer up sacrifices. There are consequences for not keeping covenante and sometimes we do not know or understand. Problems come when elders do not care about sin.. they break rules. We must act quickly to resolve sin so we can enjoy the blessings and gifts that will be with us for eternity. Make it a habit in your companionships to be righteous so you can enjoy the blessings of the best mission in the world. Having a problem isn’t a sin… but Heavenly Father is more concerned with our desires and habits. Are we able to reach the celestial spiritual levels in this life? The elders leaving for home, including Elder M all bore witness that “this is a mission with power. Act in the Lords name with his power – to teach us all we must do. When we get here we are lost, but in the mission you can be taught all you need – this is the only true church. Amen” President Quieroz spoke to them saying: “Go home & never make this mission be let down… Be men of God. He told the story of the “Blue Butterfly” His mother persuades a renowned entomologist (William Hurt) to take them on a trip to the Costa Rican rain forest to search for the butterfly, leading to an adventure that will transform their lives. And so, their journey begins. A journey of courage, redemption and love. Inspired by a true story, this is a magical film about a courageous young boy and a jaded man who chase a dream, and whose lives are forever changed. The only way to catch a miracle is to believe in it... It’s never to late to repent. Pray for those in the process… Do things that require faith. Ask yourself who is to come? Are we waiting for another? Are we working miracles? Are we serving the lame and sick? And becoming the Hands of the Lord? Have faith Make Miracles happen. Be righteous, study the scriptures. Make a difference make it better. Pray for those that need to overcome the disappointments – Study the doctrine of Christ – Pray to Love” A Story… 2 elders would always come to interview and speak of their moms at home… things were not good and their moms’ died. When he called with the news both elders said that “I was called to serve for 24 month – I will stay and finish my mission.” There’s “power” in missionary work!
