It’s crazy to think that I’m entering into the last
transfer... The call came in and we discovered yesterday that I will stay here
in Teófilo Otoni with my best friend and fav comp Elder Aguilar. We were
overjoyed because we have a great number of people here we need to see enter
the waters of baptism.
Speaking of baptism we had the chance to
teach a less active family and help the 8 year old son be baptized and his
family return. The mom was the first missionary to serve from this city... But
with lots of things happening she went in-active. The situation in the family
is very hard. But the example of 8 year old Bernardo helped wake up the family.
He was baptized by a member in the branch that will be responsible for
ministering to the family. That was the definite highlight to the week.
This week while walking through the park to an appointment
we met a real life sloth... just like the movie Zootopia. (haha the nephews and
nieces would have loved him so this pic is for them) His name translated into English
is literally Lazy... Matches pretty well.
Sunday I got to give another talk and I chose
to discuss about the parable of the sower and the seeds in Mathew 13. The end
point was that we could make our branch into fertile and good soil to produce
100+ and grow. But the best part was participating in the youth class with a
few investigators. 12 year old Ayza who we are going to baptize gave such a
deep and profound answer that the entire class stopped for a few minutes to appreciate
the answer. One of those proud elder moments.
Anyways I hope you all have a great week and
look for missionary opportunities. A gente fala mais aqui em 6 semanas! Amo
vocês!
Elder Lee
