Today me and the sisters are at a members house- her name
is V.- she lives alone in a mansion and invited us to spend time
with her today. Because of Carnaval all of the internet houses are
closed-- and she is feeding us and everything! She is great!!!
I am doing well and am so happy to hear that you guys are close to me! Mais ou menos! hahaha
This
week was good-- we stayed in our area to help the sisters here and it
was good! We worked super hard and it was a hot week here!!!
We found lots of great new families to teach and we batized 2 men this week- R & N!
R. is 26 and N. is in his fifties! Lots of interesting stories that I will share with you guys....
And we were blessed with a golden investigator too!!
This week was good- we did a meeting with all the leaders of the
branch and set up visits for the investigators who are progressing and
for our recent converts--- to help create more integration and
friendships--- and more activities in our branch--- we are excited- we
are planning our activity for the whole branch on Saturday....YOU WON'T
BELIEVE THAT I LET THE SISTERS NAME IT- "HOT DOG NIGHT"....NEEDLESS TO
SAY, I'M A LOT MORE EASY GOING NOW A DAYS...
HAHAHAHA!
The mission is good! Heavenly Father blesses us so much! We were trying to contact a reference that we
got and ended up stopping at a bar to ask for directions-- in the bar- a
man with tons of tattoos stopped us and asked us what we do-- we
explained our purpose as missionaries and he invited us to share a
message with him the next day at his house-- his name is T. and we
felt so good about him-- after all- he made contact with us!!! Hahaha and
then we went to teach him...
He explained his
whole life story-- he was married, has two young sons, --- and then they ended up getting divorced. he ended up moving out and went
to live completely alone to be close to his kids still.. he is so great
and says that he wants to find a person to share his life with and to
live the gospel-- he has so much faith and truly is repentant! HE
ACCEPTED THE INVITE TO BE BAPTIZED ON THE SPOT!
Then, T. went to church and loved it! We took the Elders Quorum Presidente and YM's Pres. to visit him and we taught him all together! The Spirit was sooo strong and soooo cool to give these men a chance to
create friendship with T. who is their same age, to take
responsibility, and to share their testimonies!
