THIS WEEK WAS GREAT!!!!!
On
thursday we had mission conference with Elder Costa from the quorum of
the seventies!!!!! He is sooooo awesome..... He shared so many awesome
stories. My favorite one goes like this. He had just moved back to
Brazil from são paulo when he got called to be the presiding seventy of
brazil and his wife asked him.... you´re going to have to learn how to
have patience in the traffic of São Paulo... andddd he said his first
day driving to church office building he entered a lane in front of a
little red fiat and the little red fiat gotttt SUPERRR mad and started
honking and following close behind him. When he came to a red light she
pulled over next to him motioned for him to roll down his window and
started cussing him out.... He remember what his wife said about
patience... Nodded his head and said have a good day... god bless....
and went his way. He said the very next day the very same thing happened
with the exact same lady. and he gave the same response. Then a few
days later they just happened to be in the same spot again.... And a few
days later again.... And before he knew it she was smiling and waving
back at him... The next week he decided he was going to give her an
invitation to stake conference and a book of mormon. And that sunday she
went to stake conference and then was eventually baptized.... Hahah it
was great to hear all of his little stories.. It made me realize that
heavenly father really puts us in the right places at the right times.
And we have to take the opportunities that he gives us!!!!!!!
On Saturday We taught an awesome lesson to our
investigator Italo who has been saying that he knows the book of mormon
is true and that joseph smith is a prophet, but doesn´t feel ``vontade``
Wich is like will or desire to be baptized. We taught him the plan of
salvation again and taught him about the importance of faith and
repentance.... He was super interested in the repentance part and he
committed to repent and be baptized on saturday.... but then he didn´t
go to church on sunday so we have to move it to after he goes to church
one more time, so maybe sunday.
We also taught 6 new investigators this week, and 2
of them went to church. We were super happy about it!! ANDDDDD big
surprise they also have word of wisdom problems: cocaine... dang it. But
one of them is SUPER smart. He read almost 40 pages in the book of
mormon after we left it with him. And he remembers like almost every
detail.
Alexandro and Sandra are doing A LOT better. This
week we went to the place to mark their wedding, but unfortunately their
birth certificates were too torn apart... So we have to order new birth
certificates and go back this week. BUT they will get married, and I
hope I´m here to see it :)
Hope everyone has a great week!!!!
