Look up our video on my FB page! Since I learned to play
the ukulele during quarantine, it was time to share!
What a week!! Some pretty awesome stuff happened this week, so I'll get right to it!!
So last week we had a lesson with a couple we're teaching named Geneva and Lupe. Lupe talks a lot more than Geneva, but they both like being taught but just don't want to be tied down to one religion. But last week we taught about the Restoration and about Josep Smith and how he was a prophet of God. In the middle of it, Lupe had to leave, so it was just Geneva being taught. We finished the lesson with her and told her to pray about its truthfulness and of what we taught. We texted her Tuesday and asked her if she prayed, and she said she had and she knows that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true. Then she told us randomly that SHE WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED. That was pretty awesome. We were excited and told her we'd call her the next day. That next day she texted us saying that Lupe had prayed as well and he wants to be baptized as well. Let me just say how happy we were about that. Miracles happen when we trust in God!!
We also had exchanges this last week which is when we as companionships trade companions for a day.and I was with my roommate Sister Corn in her "area" meaning I was in the other room in our apartment for the whole day hahaha. But it was fun to see how different, yet similar the work is. It was awesome to be with Sister Corn! We taught a lot of awesome people and even dropped off a Book of Mormon to someone.
This week as well, we called Jesse again and he actually answered and we had such a good lesson with him. He still wants to be baptized and he is getting closer to that goal!! We also have Jim who is on date and he is SOOO fun. We always have a fun time talking to him because he asks the best questions.
This week we had a lesson with someone and she is super cool and and also seemed a bit intimidating over the phone hahaha. But we decided to teach her the Restoration, and we got to the point of telling her about Joseph Smith and I recited the First Vision to her of when God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph, and she got super defensive about it and couldn't quite understand it. All we could really do to help her understand it was testify to her. And the spirit spoke to me so strongly during that call telling me that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, and that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father did appear to him. I know that to be true and this lady that we taught told us to pray about it again and we will be told the truth, and I did. And I still know that God and Christ appeared to Joseph.
I love being a missionary here and having the opportunity to serve in 2 awesome missions!! I miss Brazil and keep practicing my Portuguese, but it's been awesome to learn how to share my full testimony in English.
I love you all so much! Have such a great week.
