Bom Dia!
This week was another week in Nanuque! Haha thanks for everyone’s prayers on my
behalf! Know that it is working and I have been given the strength of the Lord
to keep going everyday! My knees and ankles are getting better so thank you all
so much!!! But this week again flew by and it is hard to talk about everything
that has happened but I will try my best!:)
I can’t
remember if I have talked about Fátima or not but she is the mom of 4 members
that we have in our ward here and she is almost ready for baptism! She has a
testimony and everything and is keeping most of the commandments. But we are
really working with her and I am sure she will be baptized this transfer!!! It
is great to watch people as they progress in the Gospel! When we first met her
she didn’t want to pray and she was very shy, but now she is praying and has a
very strong testimony. She tells us that every time she reads about Joseph
Smith and when we watched the video of the restoration with her she says
"I get goose bumps all over my body!" She has now recognized that she
is receiving these answers from our Heavenly Father. It is such an amazing
feeling when you sit in a lesson and you and the investigator recognizes and
can feel the Holy Ghost. The very best is when they say that they want to feel
this all the time and you are right there to help them with the answer!
We have also
been working with a young woman whose name is Ester. She is 21 and has really
wanted to know why we are doing what we are doing! We have talked to her and
have tried to help her and now it is just up to her to let the Spirit talk and
answer her questions!! She feels good when she reads and prays but it is a
little hard for her to commit because she wants to visit ALL of the churches
here in Nanuque (there are more than 100 churches here) before she wants to
make a decision. But we are teaching her and hopefully helping her. She really
likes what we are teaching and feels that the doctrine is basic and easy for
her to understand.
We also have
a family who has had their children baptized and now just waiting for them to
be baptized and the parents will be as well! They are a great family and I love
all of them! We visit them daily if possible and are trying to help strengthen
their family.
This week I
have really been taking to heart and studying a letter that I received from one
of my cousins that talks about a spiritual impression that he had to talk to me
about serving a mission. In the letter he talks
