So this week we had lots of fun adventures. First of all we had a full straight week of work without meetings, traveling of anything like that. So it was nice to start and finish plowing and working. But this was one of the most tiring weeks of the mission I think. Also we are in the water tropical lightning storm season. So it’s really cool to have lightning storms everyday almost.
One day, we were coming back from a far area and it was getting a little late. This was during a rain and lightning storm... We were drenched and ready to go home after a super long day of work. But we felt we needed to return to the house of a family we did a contact with. The family didn’t seem too interested and so I questioned why but trusted the feeling. We walked through a field of dirt and grass and just went for it. What we didn’t know was across the field the family was watching us with a friend of theirs... the friend committed that those two people were so determined that they must have something really important to do. To her surprise we showed up to talk to them. The family isn’t too interested but she was so impressed she decided to listen to the message and we marked a date with her for baptism along with her friend. A lot of times we receive promptings that don’t make sense and don’t accomplish what we are thinking or even wanting. But God really does know best.
This week we had Saint Patrick’s Day... truth is I forgot. But an investigator asked me what it was... Luckily I wore a green tie without thinking. Then I celebrated by eating mint ice cream. We are teaching the owner of one of Brazil’s most popular ice cream popsicle stores... we got the hook up. (This is the family of Rayane on of the coolest people ever) ;)
This week was a lot of work and we are excited to start the next week running. Tonight we have a family night with Rayane one of our most progressing investigators. Please pray for her to recognize her answer! I love you all and hope you guys have a great week!
