Shorter email because I am in FLORIPA for Conferencia de Natal (zone conference).
This week was a good one, here are some highlights:
-Pday we hiked an awesome hike with the branch pres and his wife,--it was the best!! Imbituba is BEAUTIFUL.
-Tuesday we had our first district meeting! We woke up early and took the onibus to Tubarao! It was so fun to see a new area. Sister K and I gave the training, then we got to explore a few areas! It was great!
-That same night we were walking home and we saw PAPAI Noel and accidentally ;) walked into a Christmas carnival, and like a child, I had to buy some cotton candy!
-We have a baptism date set for our investigator Luiz, for the 29th of December (NEED YOUR PRAYERS). He has a hard time with smoking and drinking coffee, so my comp and I took his cigarettes and wrote on each one a "motivational message" such as: this will kill you, god will help you, pray first, dia 29th, you want to be baptized. He thought it was the best, and is doing way good!
-Yesterday we had lunch with a family that has their american family in town, soooo they had TONS of american candy! I went crazy and ate way to much. Was literally a kid in a candy store, miss those american goodies!
-We were buying some pharmacy items and the worker asked questions about what we do, and we ended up teaching her a lesson and giving her a Book of Mormon! Was way cool.
-We have an "investigator" who is staunch catholic, but he likes to argue with us/discuss things. Anyway at one point, they were talking about which church was true, and sister Kener said ours was. Then she asked if he believed in the second coming, and he said" well, we will see when it comes!" It was way funny.
Spiritual thought:
Alma 37:41
By small and simple things do great things come to pass!
I have especially realized on my mission that small simple acts and habits make all the difference! Those small things like reading every day, prayer, acts of service, really help make a big difference in our lives over time. I know a lot of my mission is planting seeds, but I know that the lord truly works by small means, and through them he brings to pass the immortality and eternal life of man! Don't take for granted the small simple moments.
Love,
Sister Sarah Crofts
