This week was a great week, we had a lot of adventures and good times. Really every week is a good week, every day is a good day. Even the hard ones. I am so grateful to be a servant of the Lord!! I couldn´t be happier gente!
This is what happened this week:
- This Wednesday we went to florianopolis, and I got to see my other daughter, sister Souza!!! It was the best to have the two people I love so much together!
- We renewed my visa in floripa for 2 more years (sorry mom, guess I will have to stay! ;) ) we got to adventure around and make some contacts after we got done, I saw some members that I served with in Ingleses, and we bought caldo de cana! That was my Halloween ;)
- We taught one of our investigators, Jaíni, who is from Pernambuco. We taught her about the restoration, and asked her to say the final prayer. She said no many times, but we invited her to pray alone, she said no. We finally convinced her to pray alone about the restoration, and I said, "Ill say the closing pray because you don't want to." and she said, " I want to say it" we all started laughing. she said it.
- Saturday we went to the cemetery (day of the dead in Brasil) and taught people about the plan of salvation! It was a super cool experience, telling people families can be forever! Bishops wife Irmã roseangela went with us which was great.
- We then taught the family of our investigator Josi about the gospel of Jesus Christ (was the first time teaching her husband) we taught especially about forgiveness, and how through forgiving others we are freeing ourselves from pain, hate, bitter feelings. Josi's husband fabiano said, " So forgiving others is really a gift that Christ gave to us" yep, yep it is. The spirit was very strong.
- We then taught Enio, it is super cool because we teach Enio on his brother's porch, in front of a bar, so the people in the bar always see us praying and sharing messages with Enio. And sometimes they want to participate! We have this one old drunk man named John who always walks by right as we are teaching and participates with us. But this time one of Enio's friends asked us if he could participate in the next lesson! It was awesome.
- We then after our lesson with Enio talked about watermelons (like you do), and how to choose a good one. Enio said that you just have to grab any watermelon in the store, lift it in your hands, and say, "Lord God, bless this watermelon, that it may be good, delicious, crunchy, and flavorful. In the name of Jesus, amen." We started laughing so hard, and he said, "this is not a joke, it works!" hahaha.
- Also when i was going to the bathroom the other day, a lizard fell from the ceiling and fell right in front of me. I screamed so hard haha! I have gotten used to cockroaches, but not lizards haha!
I know Christ lives, this is his church! Love you all!!!
