Dear People of Earth,
The other day, Elder Gomes and
I spoke with a very kind woman. While conversing, I had to answer our cell
phone. When I finished, their conversation was already over. I was so happy to
talk with such a good person that I became very gullable. Elder Gomes said that
she´s Bill Gate´s cousin. I was skeptical. I didn´t fully accept or reject the
idea. I was very skeptical. How could Bill Gate´s have a cousin so kind and yet
so poor here in the Northeast of Bazil!? Then I reasoned, I had heard stories
that Bill Gates doesn´t even pay allowance to his children, so maybe he
abandoned his cousin here. Then I realized how gullable I was... Elder Gomes is
persuasive...
Anyway... This week I felt many trials falling upon me. In
the midst of these specific challenges, the lyrics from the second verse of How
Firm a Foundation really hit it home for me.
"In ev'ry condition--in sickness, in health,
"In ev'ry condition--in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth,
At home or abroad, on the land or the sea--
As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand,
As thy days may demand, so thy
succor shall be."
I know that it is Jesus Christ
who succors us. In the midst of my personal challenges, it is He, the living Savior
and Redeemer of all whom succors me individually, so much for me as for each
and every one of you. He lives. This is our message. He lives and His Church
lives as well. Come and see.
With Love,
Elder Engle
P.S. This is just a picture of me on our street. I´m still
losing weight, so I´m really skinny.
