This week was a good one, but a hard one!
We made 126 contacts, with only 23 successes. But we got the most in the zone so that was pretty cool! But one thing Ihave learned in the mission, is that the numbers don't matter a ton when you are working hard, and trying to be an instrument in the Lord's hands. you could talk to a million people, and none of them but one will listen, and it for sure is worth it to talk to everyone to find that one. Like Christ searching to find the one lost sheep, we are doing the same thing! There are a ton of lost sheep in the world, but we are looking for that one lost sheep that is ready to be found.
Here is what happened this week:
- We taught Enio a couple more times this week, every time we mention baptism...he is SO ready! buuut every time we invite him he says, "I think I will read the book a bit more and go to a few more meetings." 🙄 hahaha every time. But I know he will get there, "all in the timing of the Lord"
- We were knocking doors all day one day, and we went to visit an investigator from the Dominican rep. We climbed up three flights of stairs, and found this couple from são paulo. They invited us in, and we taught about the book of Mormon, they love reading the bible and were so excited to have another testament of Jesus Christ. During the lesson the spirit was so strong. I was sad to find out that they were in the process of moving to São paulo, but i know that we were in the right place at the right time to find them and start them off on the path! It was awesome.
- We had an awesome lesson with a MA Liziane who is passing through a rough patch in life (rough years) we talked about how when our priority is aligned with the priorities of God, everything will go better in our life. It really isn´t a question of time, but priorities. We then saw her at church with her family, which was an awesome surprise.
- We met a new lady named Valdete, and taught her about the plan of salvation, it was way cool, and the spirit was way strong. Lesson learned to talk to everyone, it doesn´t matter if they are on the third floor of a building with their head out the window!
- We taught Isaura, running from one bairro to her bairro, because she said she was feeling sad and wasn´t sure if she wanted to go to church. We got there taught her and set a date for baptism! dia 26!!It was awesome. and she made me yummy pavé which made it even better haha!
- We took an Uber to one of our far away areas and the GPS took the drive on the weirdest dirt paths and crazy roller coaster hills. We were laughing so hard, as our old man driver Nivaldo said "carrrrumba! What crazy weird hills!"
- Saturday night in my prayers I was praying to God to bless us with a surprise person at church. The next day at church our surprise showed up! Her name is Carol, and she is from Italy! She said Sunday morning at 1 am she got a message from her friend who is a recent member living in Canada. She sent her a message inviting her to church, with the address and time and everything. So she went! It really was an answer to our prayers! We taught her later that day and it was super powerful, we really testified in the love that God has for each one of us, and the plan he has!
- Also amazing moment, Carol said that when I started talking to her she thought i was a brazileira until I said my mom is from Canada.... AHHHH i felt so happy! Haha it was the first time someone said that. #TOP
Anyway, that is about it! Tomorrow we have zone conference, and I am so excited to be spiritually renewed! And to see my friends!
Also gente! Remember to watch general conference, it is always so amazing to hear from the prophet and apostles and leaders!
Love,
