Olá familia!
OH how I love you all, I am sorry last week the internet went down and this is why I was not able to e-mail, but I am happy that now I can.
Well, I just ended a week that was for some weird reason difficult for me. But it was good and we always learn from hard experiences, it was a difficult week for our entire district, but I know that this week will be better. In our district from example 9 baptisms that were planned fell through. But we have encountered some of the elect for sure and I am really happy about some that we have!
Caeser, he is a young man 27-28? but we taught him for the first time the other day, we were batendo portas, (clapping doors) and he was very receptive, the spirit was very strong when we taught and he said he would come to church with us this week.
Lenir, She is a wonderful woman we met she can´t hear very well, and really didn´t understand me very much at all, so the first couple of times we taught there sister j. lima taught basically the whole lessons. I bore my testimony knowing that she wouldn´t understand, but hoping she´d feel the power of testimony. But, the first time we met her she accepted baptism too, and told us that her son died 8 years ago due to a drug overdose. Very Very sad and now she deals with depression. She couldnt come to church because she was depressed a lot, and her medicine was gone, but we called three members to give her a blessing and it was wonderful, we taught the plan of salvation and felt the real power it has!
This work is heavy a lot of heavy people who have real problems really real problems, and this helps me to thank my heavenly Father for the way I grew up and the things I had that so Many others don´t have and also have questions like why was I so Blessed? I know that we all, all that have this wonderful gospel were given these blessed opportunities because we can be the tools to share with others and help others to hav the happiness we have! What an incredible experience!
Milton,Andrea, and Mirela- Yay a family! This is the first time I that I have had the opportunity to teach a whole family! It is awesome! This was a reference from Bispo. This is a wonderful family! They live way far from where we work, but it is so worth it to visit them. We have only taught twice , but with members always and the members were so awesome and helped us a lot at church with them! Adilson is awesome member who sat with them and explained everything. He has been home from his mission for only 7 months, and the whole milton family loved him!
We have a baptism scheduled for this weekend, but are not sure if it will happen, we found out some information we have to work with. Oh Please keep the commandments!!!!!
Sandra- Way awesome! I love her a lot! She definitely recognized us as representatives of Christ and it is so great to visit and teach her.
I love you all, my time is gone, but here was a little about the people we are helping and teaching right now, hoping to have baptisms, Thank you for your prayers, I need them!
Love love!
