Unfortunately, carnaval isn´t the best time of the year. For a lot of people, maybe, but as a servant of the Lord, no. It´s very famous, and one of the main things that Brazil is known for. Unfortunately, we´ve been told to stay in our houses from 5pm until the next day. So, our days to work and share the gospel are shortened. We have lunch appointments with the members, and then we work until we get home at 9. My area here in São Luís is HUGE! It takes a while to walk from appointments. Unfortunately, they´ve not been so steady lately as the have been in the past. I blame Carnaval. But, there is always hope for tomorrow. Actually the day after tomorrow, which is the day after carnaval. Fortunately, we have a lot to take care of at the house. On a good note, we made yakisoba and katsu today at Waldemar´s house.
The world is interesting. It´s morals and values decrease everyday, little by little. People forget or turn away from God, and forget that He is unchangeable and constant. God´s life is infinite, while we have our mortality. Many people like to use the excuse or say that God changes or that laws that applied anciently don´t apply today because the world changed. This is not true. Our Father in Heaven is a God of justice. He will not say to some the importance to keep the commandments and then to others that they don´t need to. God doesn´t change, nor will He. What is wrong or evil will always be. What is good and inpires to do good is of God. I know that God lives. The Book of Mormon is true, and there is no possible way that it cannot be. I love you.
-Elder Samuel H. Chiba
