Familia Grande-
Eu amo vocês muito!
This was a week of miracles (although every week is) I love being a missionary for the Lord!
We found out Wednesday that our president was going to be coming to a city pretty close to ours for a zone conference ( which was really good and makes me want to kick myself in the pants, but be a better and more faithful!!! missionary) but this was great news for us because Alexandre needed an interview and all that and we wondered if this would be able to happen, and it did! My family it did, I think that some of you prayed and that is good! Alexandre passed the interview and remains faithful right now! He will be baptised this Saturday at 4;00! MY very first baptism of my mission, but I have some very high goals for the baptism I want to have and I am working on the faith and getting the Lord involved, he helped me with the number and I know he will help me to know how I can do it. Honestly it was one of the happiest times for me when He passed the interview! We´planned a very special lesson for him this week and are either visiting or calling every day to ensure that with the helps we gave he will stay away from the things that are against the W of W and we made him sign a contract which he did with trembling hands. Now we just need to trust in the Lord to provide for this great miracle.
I thank the Lord everyday for the miracles we witness, sometimes typing them doesn´t feel right, I feel like they are sacred, but I have a few pages in my journal that explain some and I will copy those and send them today for you all at home.
Marc tons of people ask me about the blog missionaries who say my mom said something about a blog you have or stuff like this. Um pouco scary, but I trust you. :)
This week I had my first experience making a data marcarda in the street. Setting a date for baptism after teaching in the street. We needed a lot more datas and so I asked in the rua, or street. and the very first time I tried the man set a date. He was smoking a cig, so we have work, but I think it worked because I had to follow the spirit 100% and the spirit was strong. I knew before he knew that he would say yes when I asked him to prepare. So awesome!
I also had my first experience with cockroaches here I took a shower, wrapped my towel around me and screamed! Hahhahaa yeah grande roach on my back. EWWW.. but I think I am the most courageous of the sisters in my house because I was the only who was not afraid to kill the stinking roach. NO in fact I get great satisfaction from killing a bug that made me scream. Anyway!
We met an elect yesterday. I mean all people are the elect, but sometimes you jusdt meet a ´person and can tell that he/she is ready really ready! His name is Sabastain. he accepted a date in the street as well! This is great because the goal for my comp and I that we are praying and fasting for this month is 4-5 baptisms! I know we can do it too! Please pray your prayers are heard and answered! I love you all soooooooo much!
