okay hello another week here in the mission field - IT IS FANTASTIC!!!
here the rundown...
Saturday we set a baptismal date for our friend Vermekeue!!! EXTREMELY BLESSED.
Sunday we had our friend Antonio show up to church at 8 am after working ALLLLL night!!
Monday night the other sisters in our District came into town for our district meeting. They stay with us, it is always super fun to have them hang'in out with us!
Tuesday we had our district meeting with everyone...I love being together. I learned a bunch...even how we can endure through the cold winter and continue to have success!! Then after our meetings we were suppose to go to lunch but it fell through. But we are super lucky to have the best Bishop ever, he invited ALL of us to lunch with him! For the rest of the day we met a bunch of new people...there was also a bunch of SUN which means success!!! It was a great day that is for sure.
Wednesday we had an appointment which was lunch SUPER far away. They asked if we could meet them a little later than usual...but when we show up to lunch they were not there!! so we wait for a bit and ten we call them...an hour later they finally show up. But they end up making a churrasco (barbeque) for us! IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!! We had such a cool lesson after lunch, I was able to say all the things that I wanted to share about the Restoration. The spirit was so strong! We left the lesson and Sister Amorim tells me that I did so good and that I explained things so well! I was super hyped, such a great motivation! #blessings
Thursday was a good day too, we visited with a less active girl who just had a baby! when we got there we talked and her sister in law starts whispering lets pray lets pray, where is my oil!? she starts giving the baby a blessing and the mom of the baby was soooo confused it was so funny!! other than that we went to a pretty poor area, almost all the people we talked to there are super loving and want to receive our messages! So cool!!!
Friday is where the name of the email comes from..so here in Brasil there is a religion where every time you pray you have to use a veil to cover your face. We were sharing a message with a couple that is apart of this religion.
The husband asked if we could finish with a prayer. so we enter there home and the lady places a scarf for us to kneel together and then she starts scrambling looking for something.l her husband goes..
(what are you looking for)
(Where is MY VEIL)
(the veil was used in the time of Paul not now)
she YELLS (leave me alone its for my own feelings joão, you don't know my feelings)
then continued to kneel and cover her face with her hair to represent the veil.
so needless to say we left there laughing about the veil and his response!!!!
haha it was definitely such a highlight for this week!
Saturday we set a baptismal date for our friend Vermekeue!!! EXTREMELY BLESSED.Sunday we had our friend Antonio show up to church at 8 am after working ALLLLL night!!
We are excited for him, he has so much potential and is progressing so much!
Another milagre (miracle) this week was we were talking with Irma and she was telling us a bunch of things....we left and my companion asked if I understood and so I told her everything that I understood, and she goes woah Sister Sanovich you are fluent!! It feels so GREAT that I am finally starting to understand Portuguese!!! wahooo!!!!!
the church is true, the book is blue, and God loves you!!
XOXO
