TUDO BEM?!
This week was great, it passed by so
quickly. Here are a few of the best parts of the week!
Monday- We all got together with
some of the youth of the church to say goodbye to sister Marques, she was being
transferred, so we all shared our testimonies and it was really great! We got
to hear a bunch of Spanish testimonies. Haha it’s fun to be able to listen to
and understand Spanish too!
Tuesday- It was not the most
exciting day, but the new sister showed up! She is from Utah too, Sister Webster!
She is great, she just left the CTM! We got to know her a bit, and she is
already speaking great in Portuguese. She already knew a bunch of Spanish
so that definitely helps!
Wednesday- We had an interesting lesson
with some of our neighbors. They were a reference from a member that lives
next door to them. We planned a message that was really awesome and then
we get there not knowing that the Irmão would be there.... then he starts talking
and marked all the scriptures we wanted to give them in later messages for them
to read in the Book of Mormon... but it went well. She made us dinner and is
was really great!
Thursday- We went to lunch and there
was a sister that had finished her mission there, we visited with her and mom
that doesn’t speak any Portuguese, needless to say, it was interesting and
reminded me when I got in the mission. Then we headed to a lesson with our investigator
Flavio which is the cousin of a member! And she is married to a returned
missionary, the lesson was so awesome! it was full of the spirit! I can’t
explain how well the lesson went, we talked about Alma 32 that talks about
faith! and Flavio was commenting and everything, it was really a sweet lesson. Then
at the end, we asked him to choose who would say the prayer and he goes okay I’ll
say it. Haha it was so sweet! I’m so thankful for that sweet lesson with him
and how the spirit can testify in our hearts! Then they made us Tapioca, it was
so fun!
Friday- Today we met a bunch of
crazy people! Literally nothing made sense hahaha we met some crazy
people that we were talking to! We were asked to help a lady to set up a Gmail
for her to have WhatsApp. So many people asked us if we were testemunhas
deJehova (Jehova’s Witnesses);...... I can’t even tell you how many times we
were asked within the last few days. Haha but we did find a rapaz (boy) that is
really cool, we shared a message with him at the portão (gate) and he seemed
really interested, so we will head back next week!
Saturday- We had a churrasco (BBQ) with
São Sebasitão! it was so great, literally the best churrasco I have eaten in a
long time! It was so fun, unfortunately my camera died, and I couldn’t take
pictures... but the memories are real! It was the best part of the day! He is
progressing so much, he has stopped smoking and thanked us for helping him with
these goals.
Sunday- We ran into one of our
friends that we are teaching and so we started to talk to him when then he
looks at me and asks “what is your favorite thing in Floripa? in English, then I
asked him and he said “so many girls, hot” he is crazy hahah I died, and it’s
even better because he doesn’t speak English! hahahaha Then we went to Irmã Isabels
house and talked about the barro de ferro, it was really great and we watched
the videos of the LDM with her. She said that she is almost ready to come back
to church. Then we headed to a less active that was a missionary and her
husband that isn’t a member. They went to church, wahoo!!! and we chatted with
them and it was great, they really liked coming to church and we planned to
meet with them on Wednesday! and something that is really exciting is that they
will be getting married this month and we all couldn’t be more excited!
This week flew by, it seems like the
weeks are becoming shorter and shorter!!!
As a scripture this week I want to
share Alma 32:28 it talks about FAITH and how it’s like a little seed. Each of
us need to plant the seed in our hearts. This helps us strengthen our faith and
our trust in the Lord. I know that it will help us become closer to him
and we will see his miracles a little more in our lives
.
LOVE YOU ALL have a great week!
