Week 53

Monday, December 17, 218

So for the first time in the history of my city Colatina It snowed.... Don’t get to excited... it only snowed from my 4th floor apartment... Our freezer froze over and we had to de-ice it. So I made the day of some kids passing by and made it snow... ha-ha it was fun. 

But really Christmas will be white here. We have a few baptisms for this Saturday. But as for this week Saturday the 15th we baptized Sara da Silve Gomes and confirmed her yesterday. It was such an honor to be able to enter in the water with here and help her make this commitment to follow god and take Christ upon the name of her. She is super excited and really progressing. She was baptized after less than 3 weeks. She is already half way done with the book of Mormon and becoming involved in her class at church. After hardships and difficulties it’s really a tender mercy to find people like her. It’s a reminder why we are here. We will baptize her little brother and may be her mom this Saturday. In the service I played a special hymn on the piano and my comp sang. A few people cried... (Hopefully because of the spirit). Also this Week was the birthday of my comp which happens to be the same day as you mother... So we celebrated both Saturday night after the baptism with a family less active we are teaching to baptize the daughter. The work is really progressing and we are excited with the results. 

This Sunday we also had the primary program and I had to play the piano. So that was fun to hear the kids bare testimony of the basic gospel truths. I really miss teaching primary. 

I’m super excited for Christmas to get to talk to the famLee! I love you all tons and hope that this week you all will have the chance to share the gad tidings with someone. Have a great week!
