The mission has been great! This week has been a very adventurous
week. We just have had Satan working against us. We had a baptism date move to
another city with a guy. It was a bummer but the rest of our pool are
progressing.
We had three people who came to church with us. He is the
nephew of our mamita and wants to know more about the Church. The mamita is so
funny – she keeps telling him "You need to get him baptized" And he
says were working on that right now, So he’s set! He’s a nice guy. Then we have
a girl from Brazil. Haha This week was kinda funny. We had a lesson with her Tuesday,
And she lives with her sister and brother in law. They were talking to us and
the brother in law started speaking English and said "She likes you."
And some other things that I didn’t understand. I quickly responded "She
likes my accent in Portuguese? Awesome!"
But later we talked to her and she says she wants to know
about the Church not just because she likes us. She’s unreal and is teaching us
Portuguese. After church she said she
felt a peace and that she will keep asking to know if she should be baptized.
Then we found this other family that has helped a ton of people
where we live. I guess they are quite well off and have found people who lived
in the street and have took them in and helped them get on their feet and get
working. We met one guy named Joel, Who was living in their dog house, They
helped him to the point where he has his own house and is now helping others. They’re
like the most amazing family I’ve met in my mission. We shared with them about
our church and they liked our morals and what we believe in. They weren’t able
to go this week, But next week they promised they would go to church. Oh and
the mom offered me her daughter but as a joke, Ha That’s actually how we found
them. But they’re incredible.
We have a few families we might stop working with. It’s a
bummer because they are awesome people just not interested in learning more. It’s
like we talk about eternal families and they don’t want it. Its sad more than
anything, It’s like you said it breaks your heart. But you can only keep loving
them and have the faith to help them change.
I felt like this week Heavenly Father has blessed us a lot,
We have been finding, We just have to stay focused and obedient and see it
through the end. I love this work, And love this gospel. It’s saved my life and
now I’m here to save others. Love you all thanks for everything. :)
