Hey guys!!
Hows it going? Its starting to get nice and chilly here in Yonago, I love it. Its easier to work - well there is a crazy wind blowing here everyday, but no big deal.
Anyways, so it was kind of an up and down week. We found 2 new investigators (one of them is a mom, and sounds like the husband is aldo going to investigate). We had zone conference and that took a day and a half out of our schedule because of travel. Then I got super sick and had to tough it out over the weekend, but its ok, we saw a ton of miracles!!
Remember how I thought I was going to England on my mission? Well, I was just interpreting it wrong. It was actually `you are going to meet some British on your mission.` We found this incredible family and hes already introduced us to a ton of people. We got an appointment on Tuesday please pray for us!
Well the work is going incredible, it slowed down a bit this week, and I was down with a bad cold so I didnt feel too good, but theres so much guidance and revelation i cant even begin to describe it all.
I love you so much, keep up your faith, and see those miracles, theyre everywhere!! Christ lives and He is our Savior. I testify that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon is true, and brings happiness to all those who apply its principles. This work is incredible, I love it!
Love,
Elder Mourao

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."
