How are
you all doing?
This
week was pretty good; it was a bit different because our new president; he is
not so focused on BAPTISMS but on strengthening the area where we are located.
So it’s not about baptizing every week but about how many people you have
attending sacrament meeting, so our focus has changed... a lot. We are meeting with
the leadership and helping them with some direction, they are all super excited
but don’t know how to focus that excitement. So we are currently making a plan
for the ward called a “Ward mission plan”. Should be helpful for them...
Francisco
was confirmed this week (WOO WOO) and will receive the Priesthood next week.
Valdeini
is progressing and has cut her normal one pack of smokes´ a day (FOR 30
YEARS!!!) down to less than half a pack. She loves this church and last time we
were there she started calling the church "Nossa Igreja" or "Our
Church" she was like I love OUR church because of this... and this.... she
also said that she knows Heavenly father is helping her quit she feels his
presence when she reads the Book of Mormon and goes to church AKA the HOLY
SPIRIT!!! Man this work is awesome.
I had
an interview this week with Jonas... he told me "elder after I read the
introduction of the Book of Mormon I already knew this book was true." the
interview was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission.
Of
course this week also had some downs. one investigator Marciana has had strong
answers for all her questions thought the holy ghost yet is not willing to act,
it’s so sad when someone KNOWS the truth and won’t act... godly sorrow.
This
week we also helped a woman on the road carry her bed frame to the bus stop... I
wish I had asked where she was going.
