Hey Daddy!!
Hope you are doing well! Love you lots. Sorry I didn't get
to talk to you today. Oh mom didn't say anything about if others like the
chocolate here in Brasil, but hopefully they did :) It's good stuff! The account
looks correct.
This past week was good, it was REALLY hot!! I feel like
sometimes I'm closer to the sun here than when I was home LOL!
Really nothing exciting happened this past week, kinda boring.
Oh one day we got lost walking to lunch, and I got super sunburned, but oh well. I learned my lesson, use sunscreen more frequently. This week in the BOM I was
reading a few chapters about how courageous Nephi was. How when all these
terrible things were happening to him he broke his bow, and so how were they
going to eat food?? Its not like they had a Walmart in the middle of desert to
go and buy some groceries, no, and it wasn't only his family, but also his
in-laws, and so what did he do? He humbled himself, and confided in his father-
a prophet to ask the Lord where they can go to obtain food? He continues- and
the Lord blessed me abundantly. Truly amazing the courage he had, and also the
faith he had. In another chapter they were talking about the Liahona, and how
faith and diligence were the things needed for it to function properly, one
without the other, couldn't work.
Then today I was reading when the Lord asked
him to built a boat- not just a little tiny boat you take fishing- but an
Ark. Once again- he couldn't go to Lowes or Home Depot to buy the things, he didn't even have a blue print, he didn't even have a fire starter- he had faith, that's
all.
I believe that there is something to be learned from his example.
So think about that a little this week,when things are hard, when we don't
have a many things, resources, or whatever, where is YOUR faith?
Love you all, have an amazing week ,
good luck with school, Mom Serenity and grandma!!

Thomas & Marlene - Local people here in Kennewick we met from Brazil. Here they and their friend are picking Italian Plums from our trees. She made a video below in Portuguese for Emma. She told us that there are no Plum Trees in Brazil. They are looking forward to meeting Emma when she comes back home.
