Hey everyone!! So this week went by so
fast. It was awesome!! So it started out with making a good old Thanksgiving
dinner on Monday. It was awesome! I made turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet
potatoes, 100% homemade pumpkin pie, green beans, corn and rolls. Too bad the
computer isn't allowing me to get my pics off my camera. But anyway, this week
was really good. We met so many amazing people and had some amazing blessings.
So we found and taught Layzla, Kessia, and Eliana again and this time we taught
about the Plan of Salvation with these 3 ladies. It was a really
good lesson
and Eliana even read more than 20 chapters in the Book of Mormon. It was
crazy!!! She knows all about the story of Lehi and Nephi and all of their
trials and blessings in the wilderness. We were able to mark baptismal dates
with all of them which was really cool. Please pray that the 3 of them can
receive an answer to their prayers that this is the true church before the 12th
of December. They have so much faith. I am sure they will receive these
blessings. After that we went and talked to a referral named Lucas. Lucas is an
awesome investigator! He went to church last week and cried during the
sacrament meeting and begged us to go to his house to make a visit with him and
his family. We were able to go and visit with him and his family and we taught
the 1st lesson about the Restoration. We asked him if he would pray and ask God
if these things were true. The next day we went and talked to him and he said
that he knew that this is the Church of Jesus Christ. It was amazing to hear
about his experience! We are going to mark a date with him tomorrow for
hopefully this next week he will be baptized too. Then we went and talked to a
young man named Gabriel and taught him about the Book of Mormon and about the
need of being baptized. He is 15 and we are excited to teach him and his family,
to get them all baptized and to get them to the temple to be sealed in a year. We
also have been teaching Gisele who has a lot of questions but is finding answers.
So Eliana, Eliana's daughter, Lucas, Gabriel, and Gisele went to a conference
yesterday that was held in Colatina. It was an amazing conference with President
and Sister Young. The talks really helped all of our investigators about the
amazing blessings that they can receive being members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a great experience and they want us to come
and teach them more about the Gospel.
Last night around 5:00 the skies closed
and the clouds opened up and it rained for about 4 hours. Yep we all got soaked!!
It was probably the funnest day we had. We all were playing in the rain because
it was such a drag to be walking in the rain but we all seemed to make the best
of it!!!! Haha it was super cold and we were all DRENTCHED!!! The only
happiness that it brings me is that this is my last rainy season sooooo... LET
IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN!!! The good things is that it doesn't flood
too bad here in Linhares! Well it was an amazing week. I know that through diligence,
obedience and finding the Lords hand in our lives this life can be the best
thing in the world. I love my mission and I love the people with whom I serve!
I love the Lord and I am serving him the very best that I can. I love you all
and pray for you all!
LOVE YOU, HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
