here is what happened:
- Monday I threw a surprise party for sister Souza! (her first birthday celebrated!) I invited investigators, RC, and members, and we had a huge surprise with food, and all the people she loves waiting for her when she opened the door to enter into the house of Irmã Ivonilde! It was the best!
- We taught our investigator Geovanna who put in all of her papers to get married this week! She really wants to get baptized, but the soonest date she can get married is the 6th of September... But she is so prepared, and has such a sweet testimony! She started the Book of Mormon last week is already in Alma 15!!
- This week we had Festa Junina in the ward, which was so fun. It is basically like a party where everyone dresses up like cowgirls and cowboys and dances, and eats a bunch of cool food. It is so fun! We made a ton of contacts and had a bunch of investigators come!
- This week we had some awesome experiences with the people we are teaching in the Bairro Rio Vermelho. We have been teaching Ricardo, who is from Matto Grosso BR. He is a way cool guy, who is hilarious, and has many doubts about religion. This week when we passed by he said that that he was ABOUT to leave his house, but felt like he shouldn´t, and that is when we stopped by! We talked to him about how he felt about the Book of Mormon, and he said, "I believe it´s true," he had some questions that we answered, then he asked us why we are on missions. We told him and the spirit was strong, i felt that he felt it. This Sunday he came to church, stayed the whole time, and it seemed like he really liked it!!
- We taught Sabrina this week, finished teaching her and preparing her for batismo. She will be baptized this Wednesday on her birthday!! we are so excited!
- We had a bunch of cool experiences this week with finding new people to teach, it really has been a miracle, we had 2 investigators that were on the other side of the area (that split) that moved to our side, and we happened to find them when we left our house, we have found so many cool people, and have really seen God´s hand through it all.
- Also...my sister got married without me there 😑 buuuut congrats rachy and Cole, I am so proud of you and love you! And am happy you are happy!
The mission for sure isn´t easy, it´s been 10 months of hard.... buuut it is the best thing ever. I know that we have hard things happen to make us stronger, it is the only way we learn and grow! The mission is definitely proof of that. Always learning, always growing. and helping others to do the same, "to come unto Christ and be perfected in him, and deny yourself of all ungodliness" Nothing better than this.
Love you all!!
Com amor,
Irmã Crofts
