Here are some things that have happened this week:
- Some of the missionaries in our zone got to be a part of the independence parade in Camboriú! It was so cool to hold up Book of Mormons and sing "Called to Serve" in front of everyone! Now the people in our little city will recognize the church a bit more!
- Tuesday we had a district meeting which was great, love my district, and love learning more about how to listen to the spirit and how to find people to teach!
- We taught Enio this week, and he told us that he left his old church and left a group message telling them that he wasn't baptized with authority and so he was going to leave their church... he is so crazy awesome, and prepared! He keeps telling his friends about the church, and reads the book of Mormon almost every day!
- We had this one lady yell at us and call us children because we said Christ was the founder of our church...another part of the mish haha!
- We had this one crazy day where we got super lost, walked on the highway and climbed over a hill all to get to our area...lesson learned. when you don't know where you are take the bus. But on the bright side we met a cool guy from São Paulo that we gave as a referral for other sisters... God always has a plan!
- We taught another referral named Suriel. She is so sweet, and is passing through a lot of hard things right now. She and her daughter had literally no food at home, and she has been trying to find work for awhile. We left a message with her, and it was really special how much she understood, and the experiences she had and questions she asked. After we were done we ran to the store and bought her rice and beans and pasta :)
- We had a family night on Sunday with the bishop and irmã nilzas family, with vinicios and isaura and enio! It was super great, because we feel like the members are really trying to help our investigators and help them feel supported and loved. Love the changes I am seeing here, but I think the biggest change is the change in MY perspective.
One thing I have learned on the mission is that is doesn't matter how hard it is, how far you walk, how much your legs and feet are hurting, because the mission is always a blessing. To be on the Lord's errand is such a blessing, I feel grateful for every experience that I have. What really matters is putting my all into what I am doing, strengthening my testimony, and helping and inviting others to come unto Christ. I only have 6 more months of this, but I know I will be a missionary forever. This has changed and will forever change my life.
Love you guys!
