Week 99... The Last Week

Hey everyone, i never thought this time would come. I cant believe how fast the mission has been. I have loved every minute of it. There where a lot of difficulties, sadness, happiness, laughs, and emotions! I am so very grateful for these two years the Lord has given me to serve him. I know i was not the best person at home and i am not gonna go home the best person but the mission has changed my life. I love Brasil and the people here! I love and thank my Heavenly Father for letting me have these experiences that have changed my life. He has let me perform miracles here and i cant not deny the Priesthood power! I know that our Prophet Russell M. Nelson has all the Priesthood keys. I know that Jesus is the Christ the son of a living God, and his atonement is eternal. I know the Book of Mormon is true, its the most correct book on the earth. I love the Lord. I have found eternal happiness! love you all!

Week 98 2 Weeks

Hey everyone! I'm doing pretty good here. Just spending the time of my life while i can in Brasil!
I have learned a lot here and have seen many miracles. i cant believe it is coming to an end. So many thoughts in my head that i don't even know what to think anymore. But i love the church. I am happy of what i have done. I do not regret anything. I know the Gospel is true and its a Gospel of happiness. I have found eternal happiness! I have seen many lives change, but most importantly mine.

I will write more next week!
love you all!

Elder Foote

Week 92

This is the 3rd week we are without a cell phone here. So no one knows that we are alive and good. Lol but im fine. We were walking to a members house to use a phone and literally no one walks on this street. A older lady comes running and crying begging for help, we get to her house and her mom (which is 94) is on the ground. We lift her up and carry her to the bed and give her a priesthood blessing. The next day we check up and the mom is better. It was a crazy lesson. The priesthood is powerful. The priesthood is restored here today. Our Prophet holds all the Priesthood keys!
Love you all!!!

Week 89 FIRE!

Hey everyone. So Im in Santo Antonio with my companion Elder Da Silva. He is from São Paulo. He has 1 year and 10 months as a member. He is a bit shy but that will change soon! We are in a branch of about 20-25 members. There is a lot of work to be done. Ive heard that this area is one of the hardests.
We were going through our area book to teach some people. We found a women and her daugther. The daughter said to us that she was praying to Heavenly Father is she should be baptized. So we are helping her prepare for her baptism. We have a family home evening with her and some members tonight. Pray that everything goes well and that she accepts to be batptized Sunday! Miracles are real. God has always done them and will continue to do so!
Love you all!

Hey peeps,  miss me? I'm doing really good here in Santa Cruz. I love this place. My Companion, Elder Soares is so fun. I love him. We are gonna have a blast and baptize the heck out of people! We had a baptism yesterday. A man named Luis who is 54 years old. He told us that he was coming home from a friends house...praying that he could find a way in his life. A little later that night i stopped him in the street. We went to his house the next day. Showed him the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Went to church with us and the next week changed his life forever. He was baptized yesterday! We helped him stop smoking. (which he has been smoking since hes been 18) I love the Gospel. I know its true! I know it changes lives. Its never too late.
Also our new President got here! We meet him next week!!

Week 70 General Conference

Hey everyone hows it going? How was conference? It was so amazing and did you all see the new Brazilian Apostle?  woohoo! So great. Really, when we were supporting our Prophet (raising our arm showing we choose him and support him)( i forgot the word in English sorry idk if it makes sense lol) anyways, I could feel such a good feeling about him and really I got a confirmation that he was called of God and is here to guide us. An inspired,amazing man, I know that Russell M. Nelson is a true Prophet of God in the true church of Jesus Christ. I know that the 12 Apostles are also called of God and help guides us as well. I believe in all their words that we have heard this last weekend. Now all of us need to put them in practice to help our lives and the lives of others. Love you all!
Elder Foote

Week 69 Hey My Fellow Friends

Hey everyone sorry i forgot to send out an email last week.

 I gotta do some quick shout outs. First, shout out to some of my best friends, Dylan Duran and Ray Mendoza for the birthdays Yesterday and Saturday! Tomorrow shout out to my girl Saedi for the birthday. I think thats about it.

 This last week I was wondering why things sometimes are so hard and why I felt nothing was going right. I just wanted a miracle. I prayed and after I got my Book of Mormon and opened up to Mormon Chapter 9. It says how the apostles could do miracles and how God is a God of miracles and if he did them then he would do them now. I know God has many miracles in store for us throughout our lives. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that lives and loves us. He answers every single prayer! so pray often! Also its a commandment!

Week 65

Hey friends and family, so actually I went to Porto Alegre because my comps a beaner and had to start his visa stuff. lol,  thought it was a good joke. I'm not assistant yet.

 This week was super good. Had an experience that helped me a lot. So we were hitting our appointments and everything was falling through, we walked down a street and hit some other houses and nothing, my comp wanted to leave. I felt that someone was on the street, we went back and a lady called us and told us that she has been less active for 8 years and i said if God really existed that he would send us back and it happened. I know that God loves us and answers all of our prayers and we should pray more often.
