A Super Week!!

Good morning everyone!

Wow this has been a super week!! 

Well first I received some pretty great hand-written letters!! So thanks to the faithful Great-grandpa Hulet, Oma, Mom, Skylar, Conner, McKenna, Kim, Grandma and Papa. Seriously thanks for the support. And for Conner-- I am really trying to be better at writing back. So practice some patience okay, kiddo?? JK Love you. 

Also BIG CONGRATS to Michael! I worry to think about you going to college this year-- I mean who is going to wake you up now that Zoey is not there to bite your butt? Mom you may need to find an apartment that allows pets... JK but really Parabéns!! 

Mom, keep it strong one more week!! You can do it. 

Skylar and Dad-- BEAUTIFUL cakes!! Send me one in a package okay?? No, but really, I think I figured out why you were decorating cakes. You figure hey, I got 2 daughters coming back from missions and hopefully getting married soon-- trying to cut wedding costs, huh?? Smart man. 

Well. like I said, amazing week! Sounds like the rest of you had some pretty steller weeks too. This week we had Stake Conference. It was really nice and we had some AMAZING speakers!! The temple president of the Porto Allegre temple, my mission president, and Elder Lear of the quorum of the seventy came to speak at the stake conference. The messages were beautiful and I learned so much. 

Even our investigators loved the conference. Meline is going to be baptized this Saturday. But also we brought another investigator; she is the mom of Fabio, a recent convert (for mom and dad she is the mom of "The Bread"). Anyways, after the conference she said she too wants to be baptized. That is truly a miracle, because the sisters have been teaching her for like 7 months and she never wanted to get married... but after this conference she said she knows it is all true!!

Well it was perfect! This week is also going to be AMAZING!

1. We have a surprise member of the quorum of the seventy coming to visit the missionaries Wednesday. 

2. We have a baptism

3. Because I get to catch up with my old district from São Borja.

Makes for a good week. 

Anyways well I just wanted to leave you with a quick thought I got from Stake Conference. Elder Leal shared this story:

A man died and was resurrected and waiting in a room to be interviewed. Another man was ahead of him. The door opened, the man entered, and the door closed. The man on the outside could hear the conversation on the other side of the door. The interviewer began: “I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ.”

“Well, He was born of Mary in Bethlehem; he lived thirty-three years, spending the last three organizing his church, choosing his Apostles, and giving the gospel to direct our lives.”

The interviewer stopped him and said: “Yes, yes, that’s all true, but I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ.”

“Well, he suffered and died so that we could have eternal life. Three days later he was resurrected so that we might return to Heavenly Father.”

“Yes, yes, that is true, but I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ.” The man, a little perplexed, again began: “Well, he restored the gospel in its fullness to the earth through Joseph Smith, reorganized his church, gave us temples so we could do work to save our dead. He gave us personal ordinances for our salvation and exaltation.”

The interviewer again stopped him and said, “All of what you have said to me is true.” The man was then invited to leave the room. After he left the door opened and the second man entered. As he approached the interviewer he fell upon his knees and cried, “My Lord, my God.”

I love you all! Thanks for all the love and support! Hope everyone is enjoying there summer!!

Much Love,

Sister K. Seal
