This week was super crazy!! We had our transfer call yesterday, I was transferred to the Lages Popular ward. And will be training an american sister Larson, whitewashing the area. wow....
But the Lord qualifies the called! So lets go!!!
Here is what happened this week:
- First of all, IZAURA WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!! (pictures to come next week) It was such a special moment, and I felt the spirit really strongly. She loved her baptism, and although there weren't many members that went, she said that she loved it, and felt really special. After her baptism and conformation, she said that she felt so good. I love these moments. I love Izaura, she always says "vocês me amam né?" (you guys love me right?) every time we visit her. And it is true, i love her so much! Lots of tears were shed with this transfer call.
- On my last day we knocked on doors, and met this super cool family from São paulo, they let us in, and listened to a message about the book of Mormon, and they loved it, saying "why have I never heard about this" and they said they wanted to visit the church this week.
- We had an awesome family night with Josi and her family and Irmã claudete and fam. We watched the new nativity video (so awesome) and we played a game, and ate hot dogs. They loved it. This week we also started teaching them about commandments, and baptisms in the temple, and they are excited to be baptized. They are such a special family.
- This week my testimony was strengthened on the importance of having a member present in the lessons, it makes all the difference! With Izaura, we visited her with irma fabiana, who testified in a way that I couldn't! It is awesome!
- We were knocking doors one day this week and we saw this woman smoking, that looked really sad. So we invited her to church, and she let us in. We shared a message of hope with her, and she said that we were an answer to her prayer. These are the moments that matter!
- Another opportunity we had to answer someones prayer was before our family night with josi, we saw a woman struggling to carry groceries. So we offered to help her, and it turns out we already new her! We carried the groceries to her apt. and she said she was praying that someone would help her!
I'm super tired, this week has been crazy! So that is all I can remember right now. But I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve in camboriú, it was the best. I love that area so much. And all the people I met, and learned with. I love my companion sister Cardoso (and daughter) and will miss her sooo much. I love that we can make BFFs on the mission.
I know that Christ lives,that the first door that leads to the path of discipleship is baptism. And after that we need to continue on, firm in the faith, trusting in the one that has the power to strengthen and guide us. Nothing is impossible with God!
love you all, have a great week!
