Another amazing week here in Brazil! I think I'll probably say that every week here haha! But honestly, I haven't realized what a miracle it is that I am actually here in Brazil again until now. I am here to help specific people, and knowing that is amazing!
This week, I understood a good amount more! I love speaking Português and am still praying for the gift of tongues everyday. There are definitely some people where I understand almost nothing of what they said hahaha, and then others where I understand everything! Patience.... I just need more patience hahah!
This last week was little more difficult, and also miracle filled. We worked a lot with the recent converts. We have 2 girls here, Duda and Vitoria and they are converts of 7 months. They love the gospel so much, but their mom isn't a member. But we went over to their home and shared a message with them AND their mom, Josy! It was awesome. The spirit was very strong and we formed a great relationship with Josy.
Another recent convert we have is Daleth. She has been a member for exactly one month! She loves the gospel so much. She got baptized the week before I got here. She invited us over to her home and we taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ while her mom was there. Her mom is apart of a different church, but sat and listened! It was awesome. I asked her (in my broken portuguese) if she would like to start taking the missionary lessons, and she didn't give an exact answer, but went on to explain some questions that she has about where we go after we die, and how we can all be saved if we didn't get baptized here on earth. Daleth looked at her mom and said, "Guess what?! We have the answers for those questions!" We are going to go over again this next week and hopefully teach her mom the Plan of Salvation! Then Daleth on Sunday helped us out with a lesson with an investigator that we have. It was awesome, and afterward Daleth told us that she wants to serve a mission! Yay!
Here is a miracle that turned into a sad story.... we were teaching Felipe Salomão, I talked about him before, but we taught him this last week on Tuesday and invited him to be baptized and he said yes!! YAY! Then we had another lesson with him on Friday, and he didn't answer... and our messages wouldn't send... so we thought that he blocked us and didn't want to talk to us. Then we thought of Facebook and messaging him on Facebook, and he replied! He told us that his phone got stolen. And then...... thay he was moving with his family to Bahia... it was sad, but he still wants to meet with the missionaries there!
Lots of things happen that sometimes make us feel down. Like someone saying they are moving after showing the desire that they want to follow the example of our Savior. Or all of our lessons falling through (happened to us on Thursday and Friday). BUT what I know to he true, is that the miracles that will show after that are UNREAL! Because God is a God of miracles!
Love you all so much! Thank you for all the prayers and support!
