Monday, we had an amazing lesson with Marlene full of the spirit, and we set a date with her to be baptized, 30th of March! Please pray for her that she will be able to progress and be ready to be baptized on this date.
We set another date with Luiz for the 6th of April. Please pray for him too!!
Tuesday we had a very tender experience with one of the people we teach, Zuma. She is 65, but looks a lot older. She has had a hard life, and we visited her house and found out that she was very sick, had the flu and a high fever, sore throat everything. She let us in and we knelt next to her and prayed with her. Then I asked her what she ate that day and she said banana, and she also ate flour and water because she has NOTHING. I said I would make her a smoothie for her throat, but she didn't have milk. So sister Aguiar and I went to the mercado and bought milk, rice, and a ton of food, chicken and veggies. We came back,told her to sit down, drink some tea and we made her chicken soup with veggies and rice. She was crying the whole time. I have never felt such a pure pure love of God and Christ. I felt that what we did was what Heavenly Father really wanted for one of his daughters, who was sick, poor and alone. We left her with a big pot of soup to eat over the next few days, and very full hearts.
On a very different note, I almost got eaten by dogs this week. I was a little too cocky and confident, and ended up running fast away from 3 dogs chasing me and Sister Aguiar laughing on the sidelines. Memories!
Ate some great acai to celebrate 9 meses de sister Aguiar (her 9 month mark)!
Knocked sooo many doors this week! Which is the best--I actually love clapping at gates and sharing the good tidings of the gospel!
I love being a missionary. I have never felt such great purpose and joy in my life! It is the best. Remember the joy from service is really irreplaceable. When you see someone in need, just serve, and don't just serve and do the minimum, go the extra mile. I challenge each one of you to do an act of service that is out of the norm for you for someone out of the norm. Pray about it! You will feel so much joy, and so will they!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!
Love,
Sister Crofts
