Hey everyone!!
Sorry its another short one today. I just cant believe how busy its been. Its been a really frustrating past few days here in Matsue; along with the new calling its been tough work, not having the members back us up on anything and really just working us 2 and our super awesome ward mission coordinator.... whos is now released and we got a new one, 23 who hasnt gone on a mission and has no idea what to do.
Oh well, I guess it will give us a chance to see greater miracles.
Im super tired. I love the work but its seriously getting to me. Physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I feel and am deeply grateful for all your prayers. Im sorry, I wish I could respond individually to everyone, family, friends, neighbors; theres just no time, theres an incrdible sense of urgency and its getting our Pday too. I love you. Please, please do all you can to hold on to the Lord. These are perilous times and the enemy is on the constanst attack. Do all you can to strengthen your testimony of the Savior and the Restoration and will certainly bless your lives, and the lives of the people around you. I promise in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
With all my 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."
