This week was awesome, here is what happened:
- This Monday the members threw sister Borrowman a going away party which was so cute! A member called us saying there was an emergency and that they needed our help so we rushed over there and their was a surprise FHE!
- On my one year mark we ate açai (thanks sis B!) and Schwarma!!! (remember from marvel, Avengers) Also when we were walking home it started POURING rain, and to protect my back I took off my jacket to cover it, and got soaked. It was the BEST thing ever, I love the warm rain of Brasil, everyone that knows me, knows I am that crazy person that runs out to go walking or dancing every time it rains, and so I'll let you know i am no different on the mission! :)
- We knocked a lot of doors this week, like always, but met some really cool people! We listened to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and had some cool experiences! When we were in the bairro municipios we were walking by this house with a Haitian outside the porch. I had this thought to go talk to him, but I ignored it. Again the spirit said go talk to him, so we turned back, talked to him and found out that he is a member of our church! He was baptized about 6 years ago in another state of Brazil and didn't hear about the church again until now. He let us in and we taught him and his wife about the restoration. It was way special!
- We followed the invite of president Nelson and talked about when Christ visited the Americas as the first thing we say when we talk about the gospel, and after many attempts, yesterday we had our first success, with a guy from Argentina who had a ton of interest to read the book that talks about when Christ visits the Americas! Always follow the councils of the prophets.
- We taught Enio this week about commandments, and it was way cool, because everything we talked about, and the things that he was searching to receive answers from God, were talked about in Sunday school...coincidence? NO! Divine design! We talked about that after, and Enio said, "God really does talk to us!" yes he does.
- We ended up cutting Janio and Neli, they really decided that for now they didst want to give up the world to follow the gospel... But for each one God has a plan!
- We had this cool experience with this one Guy in our bairro nova esperança, he said he knew our church, and that her knows a lot more about Christ then us. He started saying that Joseph smith was a crazy person, and I started bearing my testimony, started telling him all of the things he didn´t know, and that none of us know everything, he said that he could tell if something was of God because he feels it in his heart, and we said, "yep that is the Holy Ghost!!" and in the end he ended up saying that we knew more then him! haha! But he didn't really have interest, and we left. 10 minutes later when we were walking on the road, we had a car stop by us, it was him, Mario, who said that he would like us to come back to talk more. It was awesome, I know for sure God touched his heart! That the first time he didn't recognize it, but the second time he did (when we left!)
I would challenge you all to read and ponder about the experience in 3 nephi 11 when Christ visits the Americas! The greatest and most important part of the Book of Mormon.
I would just like to bear my testimony that I know the Book of Mormon is true, ever word. As Elder Holland said, "no good man would write it, and no bad man could"
I love you all!
Write me! I would love an email!!
