So, here is what happened this week:
Once more, Happy Mother’s day! It was really great to talk with you as well. I didn´t really know all that much to say, but it was great just to see ya´ll.
So, here is what happened this week:
Last Monday was P-day and we had to
leave early to go to Londrina for the leadership counsel. We pretty much just
sat on the bus all day and got there about 9:30 at night. Cascavel is pretty
far away! Tuesday we had the meeting and it was really great. We learned about Real
growth and how to help our investigators gain a testimony through prayer and
the Book of Mormon. We learned some great skills that are helping lots of
people. I also had to give my last testimony at the counsel and that was super
weird. President always has the people ending their mission give their testimony
at zone conference or leadership counsel. After that we knocked some doors in Londrina
and taught a few people.
The next day we got to go back to
Cascavel with President in his HiLux which was pretty neat. ITs always fun to
talk with President and Sister. We got back kind of late as well and helped a
woman unload a bunch of bricks to her house and then taught a few of our
investigators. There is a young kid named Vitor who is going to be baptized
soon. Unfortunately he wasn´t baptized yet because his sister got really sick
and went to the hospital so let’s pray for him. On Thursday we had interviews
with President that lasted basically all day, but it was really good. Then on
Friday President called at like 6:45 and told us that he was going to switch
our area with the Sisters because their house had allergy problems and it was
an area a little dangerous for sisters. So we spent all morning packing and
running our stuff over to the new house and then at 3:00 I had to catch a bus
to a small city called Palotina. The area has been open for about 2 weeks and
the Elders had a baptismal interview marked for that night. I went there with
E. C. Silva while E. Sepúlveda unpacked our stuff. We got there a little bit
early and decided to visit a family that are strong members of the church and
have two adoptive daughter named Lorrana and Yianca who weren´t members. They
had been going to church for a long time, but didn’t have an answer yet. We
went there and taught a little bit and then knelt and prayed with everybody.
The spirit was very strong and they both felt an answer. We challenged them to
come with us to the baptismal interview and they both passed and were baptized
Saturday afternoon! A huge miracle! I don’t have any pictures because I had to
get back on the bus before the baptism, but I´ll try to get some.
Saturday we had a meeting with bishop
and found some great new people in our area. There is a girl named Larissa who will
probably be baptized this Saturday. We are pretty excited. Sunday church was
great and I got to play piano in sacrament meeting which was fun. Then we went
on divisions with Bishop and that kid named Willer that was with us when we
were on the Skype. It was really fun. This week has just been really crazy!
Thank goodness today is P-day. I will sleep a little bit. Thank you so much for
the letter and the love and everything. I´m am excited to keep on working real
hard these last 2 weeks. I hope I can do some good here.
I know this church is true. I know the priesthood
has real power and the Holy Ghost can speak to us if we are worthy. I know
Christ lives and that families can be together forever.
I love you so much! Thank you for
everything you have done for me and for the family!
Never give up! Never Surrender!
