OI GENTE!!! Guess what.... I LOVE BRAZIL! It was such a fun week here. I say that every week... but the only down side is that I have a little cold right now. Why is it I only get sick in Brazil? But I am doing good. Keep pushing on!! Here are some of the fun experiences from the week!
We have an awesome lady we are talking to. Her name is Eunice, and she invited us over to her home! We taught her and her son the Restoration, and as we were teaching she told us how she wants to find the truth, and wants to find the true church. Welp... SHE FOUND IT! She wants to read the Book or Mormon, and her son too wants to continue to learn more! The only hard part is that we have to wait a week to meet with her again. So that's a little hard. But her son even told us how he knows the Bible doesn't contain ALL that Christ did... correct!! We also have the Book of Mormon!! They are super awesome.
Get this miracle... we were in an uber going to our apartment complex. We LOOOOVE ubers in my mission. It is one of our greatest ways of finding people to teach haha! But we met our uber driver, Leandro, and explained our purpose. We asked if he wanted to learn more, and he said yes!! So we got his number and did a video call with him a couple days later and he invited himself to church! And he CAME!! YAY! He is super cool. But super busy... so we have to wait a week to meet with him as well.. but he is AMAZING!
Funny story: me and my companion have an English class we do over google meets ever Friday night, and my companion wants to learn English really bad, so I've been helping her! And this week she has had the hardest time saying the word... spearmint hahaha! I love Brazilians.
Honestly, it's been a little bit harder this past week... a lot of the people we are teaching aren't progressing too much. We invited 2 people to be baptized this week and they both said no. That was so hard. Missionary work isn't always perfect and happy miracles 24/7, missionary work is HARD! But, with the hard times... we see miracles through our faith. That reminds me of one of my FAVORITE scriptures that describes this type of faith.
Ether 12:6 "And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."
Éter 12:6 "E agora eu, Morôni, quisera falar algo a respeito dessas coisas. Quisera mostrar ao mundo que fé são coisas que se esperam, mas não se veem; portanto, não disputeis porque não vedes, porque não recebeis testemunho senão depois da prova de vossa fé."
When we hope for things and look on the bright side, we will see miracles and are showing our faith! I invite all of you to show your faith in Christ this week by praying for something specifically and always looking on the brightside 🌞😁
