THIS WEEK- this week was rough... the rain really slowed us down! My companion was so happy to
receive the package you guys sent with all of the American goodies!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! EVERYONE AT OUR ZONE MEETING SAW THAT SHE GOT A
PACKAGE FROM MY FAMILY! HAHA IT WAS REALLY FUNNY- I didn't receive a
package, but lots of letters and so they were like so confused..but so
jealous-- they call mom, "the only mom who didn't forget"- that is moms
nickname in our mission! haha Because when I first got in the mission
and was receiving so much mail, everyone told me that in a few months
down the road, everyone sending mail would forget about me and I would
receive less and less....but after 6 months, I AM STILL RECEIVING SO
MUCH MAIL AND SO ARE MY COMPANIONS (FROM MY FAMILY) HAHAHA MOM HAS AN
AWESOME REP IN MY MISSION! HAHA I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!
My
companion was beyond thrilled!
The Webb's sent her a card
too! Bro. Webb wrote to my comp in Portuguese and Sis. Webb sent those GLOW
IN THE DARK STARS TO HER!!! SOOOOO CUTE!! MY HEART IS SO GRATEFUL!
This week we had an awesome lesson with N.-- our long time
investigator-- I invited two awesome elders-- zone leaders-- to come and
teach her-- they both taught her in the past and she loved them--- I had talked to her the night before and we discussed her upcoming medical
appointment and she explained her nervous feelings about it--- and I asked if maybe she would like receive a priesthood blessing. She happily
accepted and we brought the elders to teach and give her a blessing! The Spirit was incredibly strong and I gained an even stronger testimony of
the priesthood!! N. after 6 months of going to church and having 6
sets of missionaries in her house, went to be interviewed for baptism! She said that for the first time- she felt Christ's love when my
companion and I taught her! SUCH A MIRACLE!! She went to the interview
and our district leader said that it was one of the best interviews hes
ever had-- she is incredibly prepared--- she still has many things to
resolve with her health, and so, we are hoping she will accept to be
baptized in the next few weeks! We will see.... she still feels like she
needs more time...so we have to start working with other people and
leave her to decide for awhile...but I am hopeful! I love her so much!
This week we are working on getting the awesome youth in our ward
involved in the work! we will do divisions this week with some cute
young women who are recent converts! we will teach them how to do door
contacts and more about the temple-- they will divide with us and find
people to take to church this week! they are precious and soooo
excited!! we are hoping to get all of the youth to bring their friends
to church!! we have lots of ideas!! trying to help them do missionary
work and prepare to become missionaries themselves! i am so excited!!
Yesterday
was Stake Conference and we took a bus provided from the church with
the members to the chapel in Londrina! President and his wife spoke
about missionary work and the temple president from the Curitiba temple was
there to speak about missionary work beyond the veil! It was great!
