This week was filled to the brim with miracles...
One story that happed that was a bit funny and ironic occurred
when I was entering a house to teach a contact we made in the street. I was
thinking that we could find maybe two or three baptisms out of it and when I
entered I found the biggest family in Brazil. 9 people live together in the
house!!! And what was funnier is there was a 17 year old girl who is super
excited about the gospel. And while talking to her I quietly asked my companion
why we couldn’t find more people like her. And then right after her identical
twin sister walked in the room to see what was going on... This family is super
amazing. They say the prayers for us and today we will return to bring them all
book of Mormons. They have researched a lot about the church and while teaching
them we answered all their questions before they could ask them. One said the
prayer thanking god for sending us to teach them the truth and about how the
gospel is now on the earth. Our date for baptism with this family is in two
weeks because they have not been to church yet. But it was an amazing experience...
And on our way home we found a man who asked us where a different
church was. I explained that I didn’t know where it was but if he wanted I
could lead him to the one true church that Jesus himself established was... he
took us to his house and again... a family of 8. But their date for baptism is
for next month because he and his girlfriend who live together are getting
married next month... But families are now appearing from nowhere and are ready
and excited to hear the gospel.
I got to return to mine first city where I lived for 6 months to
do baptism interviews. It was amazing to visit the members and see all the
people who remember me still. I really love my first area and all the people
there. My ZL comp was marking tallies at all the people who stopped us in the
street to say, hey your came back!!!
But I interviewed a family and got to see the joy in people’s
lives when they know they are changing and entering the path that leads back to
our heavenly father.
This is our Mission impossible 6 team here in Brazil...
