I LOVED this week, and I LOVE my area!! Love livin the island life, here is a bit of what happened this week:
We have had some BIPOLAR weather here in Floripa the mornings are freezing, and nights, but during the day its like 80+ degrees!!
We had this one day this week where everyone was giving us food! Every house gave us something, and one house gave us huge pieces of aloe vera plant! It was a very fattening day...haha!
The other day we were talking to an investigator about why she still doesn't believe in the Book of Mormon, She said that the Book of Mormon has yet to speak to her or give her good feelings. So I felt the spirit prompt me to look in the Book of Mormon, and to share Alma 32 about faith. When I started talking I knew that the words weren't mine, that Heavenly Father was prompting me and guiding me to say the things that she needed to hear, and for the first time, I felt that she felt the Book of Mormon speak to her soul, through the spirit. I learned from this experience that we need to be open and able to follow the spirit. If I had already been thinking about what to say before I said it, I wouldn't have been as able to let the spirit fill my mouth. We need to be prepared open vessels, looking to follow the will of the lord in all things.
We knocked doors because sister Souza had to use the bathroom really bad haha, so we found this really cool family, we taught them, and their son said the closing prayer. He was praying, and his mom started yelling, "with more faith, pray with more faith!" and in the end of the prayer he said, "annnnd there is one more thing I want.... I want a new cell phone.!" We all laughed so hard.
We had a person we are teaching--clercio come to church, and he later told us that he felt like he was in a different world, that he felt an unexplained peace, and a sadness leave his heart. He is so prepared, and Heavenly Father is really answering his prayers.
We taught Dayana again with her family, and we taught about the plan of salvation, which was good because her mom died the next day!! She said she was sad but feeling peace to know she is in a good place.
I tried Couscous!! it was so good!
Today we went to Praia do Santinho, which was so so pretty! We did a hike, took a bunch of pics, and had a picnic with a membro that said she had a "little something for us" love it!
Love you all!! I know the gospel is true, and love being a missionary and representative of Jesus Christ!
love,
Sister Crofts
