Week 52

 Monday, December 10, 2018

This week we will have a few baptisms in this city. One is an 18 year old girl who has been to church twice and really loves watching the videos the church puts out. Before we really started teaching her she asked if she could be baptized again because the bible teaches about only one baptism. We taught her about authority and she really got it. She is our perfect preach my gospel investigator. We teach her with members and they have made friendships with and she really understands the gospel. We are super excited for her. Sunday she almost didn’t go to church because the day before she hurt her foot... here we have to walk a long way to get there. But after calling and talking to her for 20 minutes, showing up at her house and bluffing to already have a car ride for her she accepted with her mom and they got ready. Luckily girls take a long time here so we had time to find a member with a car to come and get them. And after crazy driving we even got to church on time. So we are very excited. 

Another is a 50 year old woman who has been carrying around a lot of guilt. She was so eager to learn about the atonement and power of Christ’s loving sacrifice. She is a little scared and nervous so we will see if it winds up being this week or next. But she is close. Anyways we are having lots of little miracles. My comp is very good with people and very persistent. I’m learning tons with him. We are working with the fire of baptism... (I don’t know if that phrase makes sense in English... because it does in Portuguese...) 

     

Soccer is now banned in the mission which is sad but we will find other things to do on pday... ha-ha if you have any ideas let me know. I miss you all tons and hope that during this wonderful time of the year you are thinking about those who could benefit from the gospel. (Ha-ha if you haven’t thought of anyone the answer is everyone) We have the one thing that will have the human race and allow them to live eternally with God. Never have fear to share salvation! Love you all again and have a great week!
