When you see a huge bug ....
I LOVE BRAZIL!! Except for the heat.... the past couple weeks have been prime, and then this last week I don't know what happened, but now it is soooo hot hahaha! But I am loving it here more and more each day, but it's getting even closer to when I come home! 2 more months, and then I have to leave this beautiful place. But, let me tell ya about the week we had!
This last week walked like none other, which is a blessing because that means in person lessons!! We had a bunch of in person lessons this last week. Something that has been hard is that none of our friends have been progressing too much... we have Jeldes, and we taught him the gospel of Jesus Christ and we invites him to pray about baptism because he had the question of why he had to be baptized again, but now he won't respond back to us. Then we have Brenda, and she wasn't responding back to us either, and she told us how she didn't want to read the Book of Mormon, and only focus on the Bible. So with all of this, I was pretty down... so I prayed, and I prayed with all my heart asking for a miracle and then..... we met our friend Gilcenes. Her mom is a recent convert and we had lunch with them on thursday, and Gilcenes is super kind. She is originally living in São Paulo, but is here in Palmas ro help with some paper work since her dad just recently passed. And she asked us, "what is your churches thoughts on life after death?" Well Gilcenes... have we got something SPECIAL for ya! We told her all about the Plan of Salvation, and she loved it! We read a bit of Alma 40, and she told us that she felt so much peace that she was gonna read this book ever single day! Heck yeah! We went over on Saturday and taught her the rest of the Plan of Salvation, and she loved it even more! At the end she was telling me how much she loves our church and how happy she feels, I explained that she feels that way because the things she's hearing are true. We asked her about her thoughts on baptism in our church, and she said shes never put any thought into it before, so we invited her to pray about baptism!! Yay!! Miracles are realllll!!
We have our friend Perques who was taught by some other sisters in a different state, and he just moved here. He has the desire to be baptized, but has been super busy moving here and finding a home. But this week we will start to teach him! He is looking for a home to live in still, and he has 2 options... one of them is in our area, and the other is in the elders area hahaha. So everyone pray that he lives in our area!!
It was an awesome week, my faith was definitely tested, but I was able to use prayer to have hope and more faith!
Love you all so much!!
