Pajama Time!




















While Amy and Sam were here visiting, Amy showed me Sam's favorite book and asked me to to put it to music.
I put it off for a little while, but had a free day today so I decided to finish the project.
The quality isn't the best, but that's easy to get past.
The final product can be heard here or view my iLike page on Facebook.

Enjoy!

Just after landing in Boston

Motherly love


A visit to the Boston Temple the night of my return

It's good to be back...

Gildeny and Ricardo, Tales' and Nardel's parents, are getting prepared for their marriage which will probably be in December. Then they will be baptized. The other night Gildeny asked us to get the Gospel Principles manual for her so that she could study that weeks lesson in case the teacher asked her a question on sunday. They're a really awesome family.
I will see you all next thursday at 10am! I can't wait.
I guess I should finish the last email with my testimony. That would be appropriate.
I know that the church is true. It is the same church that Jesus Christ organized while he was here on the earth. It was restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. On my mission I've gained a firm testimony that these things are true. The gospel of Jesus Christ is perfect, it contains everything that we need to be able to return to the presence of God one day. I know that God loves us and wants us to be able to return to live with him with our families.
I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had to serve a mission here in Brazil. I know that there is nothing better that I could have done in the last two years of my life than serve the people here in Brazil and bring the gospel to all of the people I ran into.
I've developed so many skills and learned so many great things. The greatest conversion among all the people that I taught was my own. I'm excited to get home to be able to live the gospel, and apply all the things that I've been teaching for the past two years into my own life.
I developed a love for the scriptures. They are the word of God, and are one of the ways God has to communicate with us. I have loved studying them daily, and plan to continue this valuable practice for the rest of my life. I know it will bless me, and anyone else who does so.
I can truly say that my mission transformed my life. Everyone says that young men who go on missions go boys and come back men. I am no exception.
That's all I can think of for now.
I love you guys, and am way excited to see everyone next week.
Love,
Elder Sisco
