On The Lord's Errand

Seth has been in Brazil on his mission for over a year now and he's been doing so well. Something he said in one of his last emails made me laugh so I wanted to share it. Here goes:

"Can you believe I will be here for one year on Thurs.? It is passing so fast and I can't believe my mission is already half over. A dude works for 19 yrs. to make it to the mission and now it is almost over for me! Well, tell everyone I said Hi." Not particularly inspiring but cute. Here is some of his last email:

"My mission book. Chapter 1 MTC. Ch. 2 Itaperuna. Ch. 3 Itaparica. Ch. 4 Anchieta. Ch. 5 ??. Yeah, I was transferred again. Actually, me and my companion were transferred together and there will be sisters going to this area. It was a big shock to us. But we had a sweet baptism Saturday. Gilmara was baptized and it was in the ocean again. I baptized 4 awesome ppl here in Anchieta and it was an awesome experience working with a group of ppl. Who knows what will happen next??"

It's just so wonderful to see Seth growing and becoming a more compassionate person who really loves the people of Brazil. What an amazing life experience that we are so happy he is able to have!

That is so neat. I have been terrible about sending him a letter. I feel so bad. We think about him and pray for him though:) I can't believe how fast time has flown.

Lovely pictures. What a wonderful young man! Enriching so many lives. May his second year be as fulfilling as his first.

Wow! A year already! Maybe someday, he and Jeff can meet and they can speak Portuguese together. :-)
