This last transfer a lot changes happened. All 3 of the Elders I was living with before left to another area and I received a new companion to work with in the same area I´ve been for the past 2 transfers. My new companion has never been in the city Matthias Velho where we´re working so I now have the responsiblity of knowing where everything is and introducing my companion to all the people in the area. While last week I was mostly following 3 Elders and doing what they told me to do, now I´m leading the way more. Throughout this last week I´ve learned a lot. There´s a movie that I´ve watched on the mission called "On The Lord´s Errand" It´s a movie about the life of prophet Thomas S. Monson, and how he´s followed the direction of the Holy Ghost to do what God needs him to do, and seeked to serve others in every situation. This has helped me to change my views about who I want to be. Many of us in the world have wonderful plans and visions for what can do and become in our lives. The righteous man will humble himself and realize that following what God wants him to do is the best life he can have. Every day God has an errand for us to run and we have to decide if we´re going to take that errand. One night this week we had just finished visiting our investigators started heading back to our house. It was very dark and started to rain really hard. We got back to the house feeling relieved to get out of the rain and were exhausted from the work we had just done that day. I looked at my watch and saw that it was only 8:15pm. Missionaries are not supposed to go back to their house until 9:00pm. My energetic companion knew this too and we got our rain jackets on and went out to the main road to do some contacts. While we did contacts that night, every person that we spoke a word to stopped to listen to our message. Because we were out there on a rainy night, people recognized the importance of the message. We received a lot of names and addresses that night. That night I learned that you have to continue until you have done all that you can, even if your tired, and the Lord will bless you.
