Good morning family and friends!
How is everyone doing? I am well.
The summer here in Ri odas Ostras is much cooler than Madureira and
Alcantara so I'm just trying to enjoy it while it lasts. This week was caught up
in several meetings in Cabo Frio. We had our Zone Training with E. Luque and E.
Evans on Thursday. It was a great and inspiring meeting and helped us all
increase our desire to do more. Presidents main theme is just to have us do ALL
that we can, striving to have the most results as possible. President has
really help expand our vision as to what we can do.
My entire understanding of goals have changed
while I've been out here. A goal is implemented to push us, to do more, to
accomplish more. It's not always reaching the goal that is the point, but to
have more success along the way.
Everyone is going to work harder to achieve our goals and
along the way we will find ourselves with more success, which is what Pres. Cabral wants.
It's like an athlete practicing for the high jump. He places
the bar at its highest level. While he fails to clear the bar attempt after
attempt, when he goes to compete he finds himself jumping higher than earlier
thanks to his efforts in trying to clear the highest bar.
In other news we had interviews with President as well on
Friday. My interview was really low key this time around. President just urged
me to push harder, to increase my faith and vision and finish off the time left
with the most success that I've had yet.
We continued to work with X this week. He´s excited for his baptism and he's doing very well in keeping commitments. His baptism will be this Saturday and we've invited the whole family, so much should come out of
the example of a 15 year old boy.
We had some new people at church including boyfriends of
members, spouses of other members, and we booked to teach them all this week.
There is a ton of work to be done here, so I'm excited for this week
ahead!
If we don't take chances and step into the unknown, we
may find ourselves ripe in age and discover that all the outcomes of our
not taken chances have become eternally unknown to us.
I love you all so much and I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Elder Siebers
