Here is what happened:
- So on Monday we went to a new Bairro that we have never worked in! Boa vista, we knocked doors, and met this awesome family Evanir, Alana, Amanda, Alan, and Aline haha! We taught them, then met some other cool people. But to go home we had to cross the highway in the dark and cross a patch of tall grass haha. When we were running across the grass I misstepped and fell, scraping up my left leg pretty bad. It was pretty funny, but I passed the whole week having people stare at my leg and ask me what I did haha!
- We had another cold week with lots of rain! Which was refreshing, but I am kind of confused if Campos Novos wants it to be winter or summer...
- We are teaching this super cute old couple, Valdir and Terezinha, and we have to teach them pretty slowly, every lesson is about a very simple principle. But they are the best, and have a faith that is very strong! We set a date for baptism with them (the 15th of February) please pray that all will go well.
- We are teaching an awesome lady named Rita, who is trying to stop smoking and drinking coffee. She has already cut in half the coffee and cigarettes! She is shy, but also feels like she received and answer about the restoration! Miracles!
- Simone and Jaison accepted to be baptized, and to get married, so now we are helping them with the papers and everything! I love them so much, and love to see the union, and peace in their home now!
- We have been having a ton of success with English class, this last one had more Haitians, and lots more people showed up! We had a great time, and after made a ton of contacts with Haitians, they are the best, super humble and open, and faithful!
- On Sunday sister Howell and I walked to pick up Alana and Amanda, and they had another friend with them (their mom couldn't come because Aline has special needs) they LOVED church. Alana during testimony meeting said, "I read the book of Mormon, and prayed, and got my answer, I felt it in my mind and in my heart, I feel it´s true. God talks to me." MIRACLE! We are so excited to teach these girls tonight!
On a different note, I wanted to invite all of you to share the gospel where you are too! Through family history, and share your testimony about the Book of Mormon with a neighbor this week. Pray for opportunities to serve and to share the gospel, and God will definitely bless you with the people that are prepared. Like the sons of Mosiah, we need to show God we are open to be his instruments!
Love you all!!!
