Konnichiwa!!
Hey everyone, how's it going?! So how about that General Conference! It was amazing... We're so blessed to be able to hear the voicce of modern day revelation through a living prophet of God. I was very humbled and priviledged to be able to hear Elder Holland's account of the atonement. It strenghtened my testimony for sure, and the Spirit felt as we listened to it confirmed once more that Jesus is the Christ. That He lives and atoned for us individually. What an amazing truth!
Well, this week has been kinda slow but a couple of things happened that I'd like to share.
On Friday we got called by the CES President downstairs telling we had someone that wanted to talk to us. His name was Mr. Nagamine. He has been living in a park for about 5 days now, since after a fight with his wife, and losing his job, left the house. We immediately taught him, and he told us about his difficulties and challenges. He was able to come for all the sessions of conference and we've been helping him come closer to the Savior and we're seeing the changes in him as he continues to read the Book of Mormon and pray. He is an extremely humble man, and is ready for the Gospel, being guided to the Church by Heavenly Father. It was a wonderful experience and truly humbling to know that God is truly preparing people! Well, I gotta go today. Thanks for all the messages and letters, and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I love you and miss you, and I know that this is the work of the Lord. I'm humbled and feel richly blessed to be a part of it! This Church is TRUE!!!
Love,
Elder Mourao
PS: Cleiton and Eline will be getting married this friday!!!!!

Elder Mourao's favorite scripture: Alma 32:42
"And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst."

Dramatic Growth
"Under the inspiration of the Lord and the courageous action of Joseph Smith, the first Latter-day Saint missionaries ever to serve beyond North America brought the restored gospel to the British Isles in 1837. Heading that first group of elders was Heber C. Kimball, who set a great example for all newly called missionaries. Humbled by the responsibility and fully aware of his limitations, he poured out his heart in prayer."
'O, Lord,' he cried, 'I am a man of stammering tongue, and altogether unfit for such a work; how can I go to preach in that land, which is so famed throughout Christendom for learning, knowledge and piety; the nursery of religion; and to a people whose intelligence is proverbial!'
"But rising from his knees and accepting his duty, he said, 'The moment I understood the will of my Heavenly Father, I felt a determination to go at all hazards, believing that He would support me by His almighty power, and endow me with every qualification that I needed' (Life of Heber C. Kimball, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1945, p. 104). Surely God responded to the faith of that young elder, because Brother Kimball and his companions were endowed, 'with every qualification' they needed."
