As for this week:
This week was awesome! We had one baptism, 11 new people
with us at church and found one more great person after church that got
her answer in the lesson and will go to church the next Sunday and wants
to be baptised. We also had a pizza night
on Saturday and it went really well. The biggest thing I'm learning is
how to really put my trust in God,make goals with Him and do my part
trusting that it will happen -whether I know how it will happen or not.
I think I told you guys about Anderele, the girl we are
reactivating. Well the rest of her family lives on the same street and
she helped us get to know them and their friends. So because of this we
have a couple we are working to marry and their kids
that are pumped to baptise and a couple 16-18 year olds that are going
really well. The lessons are going amazingly well and best of all is
that the parents are just as into it as the kids... that can be the
hardest part in brasil... or I guessing in any mission.
Tereza, the old Lady that went to church last week was baptised
this Sunday and her husband went with her and really liked it. The only
problem was that the 40 year old son that lives with them was drunk when
we picked her up and told her and us that she
can't get baptised. I thought, well ok its not going to work for today
but when I asked her she said thats why she was going and thats what she
is going to do, so we just did it. I will have to see what happened
with the son tomorrow.
After church we went to a members house to contact a reference
with him. She was not home so we started talking a little and right as
we were thinking of going home the girl got home. Her name is Luisa and
she is 15 years old. Her family is a little
messed up but she is super focused and down to earth. We went ahead and invited her to have her lesson with us in the neighbors/members
house. She loved all of it and said in the closing prayer that she
thinks she found what she has been looking for. She
got super exited to go to church and be baptised and basically about
everything. Our next lesson is tomorrow and I'm expecting another awesome
lesson.
That's basically it and because of all this our ward is way more
exited and down to help us. So ya its going well. If you trust in the
lord and go forward with faith those things just work. Only problem is I
could get transferred now.
