Hello my family!!
Oh my goodness can you believe that hump day is over and gone with! This week passed by so fast like oh my goodness I really can’t believe that I am emailing home again! Haha oh well so lets start off by talking about this week so it was really good! So last Sunday the 30th or the 31st I don’t remember what it was so we were there at our lunch appointment with the members talking having a really good time and then walks in this other lady and her mom which are also members! They came to hear our message well it was my turn to give the message and I thought I will talk about the plan of salvation in the form of soccer because all the Brazilians here play soccer! So there I went I got to the end shared my testimony with them and that lady that walked in started to cry and so we talked and turns out that her dad is not baptized and he doesn’t want anything to do with the church! And when this family talks about church he yells and sometimes beats them! And she was crying telling us this story and l was listening and I felt like I need to say lets do a fast this week and that we will fast for her dad so after she got done crying I proposed it and I promised that if everyone did then something will happen and then promised in the name Jesus because that is what I was feeling. But like that message that time was so strong like so moving with the spirit like I almost broke down into tears because I was feeling the spirit so strong! It was awesome! Well this Sunday that lady got up and bore her testimony and was talking about that message and how you could feel the spirit so strong there, then she said these two elders that we have in this ward are special they are servants of our Heavenly Father you can see that just looking at them, you see this light they bring peace and hope into your life. Wow when she said that the spirit really testified for me that really this is who we are as missionaries! It was so awesome to hear bear her testimony! What else was cool, a less active girl that we are helping her return and helping her family be members she shared her testimony but she said that we are like angels sent from Heaven. Over all this Sunday was super good it was just filled with the spirit!
So I made a division with other elders this week and I was with one Named Elder Barros, (he lives in our house) we went to this house of members and I asked him hey who is that and he said that is that girls boyfriend and was like really is he baptized and he said no and I was like have you tried teaching him, he was like a little bit and I told him watch this! So they were leaving I got up off the couch like pinned him into the door, I was gentle I asked him are you baptized and he was like no and I was like why not? And he said I don’t know! Then I was like look do you have faith? And he was like kind of and I was like what does faith mean?? And he was like a force and I was like that is good and also it means that you believe in things that you can not see! And he was like oh that makes sense and then he says I have always wanted a book of Mormon and so I was like buddy you have luck today I have one left in my backpack and its going to be yours so I marked some parts and then asked him to got to church and this Sunday he went. I talked to him and asked him if he read and prayed and he said I haven’t missed a day yet of reading and praying since you last talked to me! Then I asked him have you asked to know if the book of Mormon is true? He said yes then I asked did you receive an answer and he was like yes then I felt like I should ask him to be baptized so I did! So he will probably be baptized next week! It was really cool! I loved it!
So we had lunch on Saturday it was sick what this family does! Like the brother comes walking in with meat alright that is normal they are going to grill it that is even better so his wife marinates it and then her daughter was like I want a piece so his wife rips her off a piece and she eats it! It was Raw!! I saw this, looked at Morris and almost said to him what the crap! It was so bad! Like there whole
family ate raw meat even their like 2 year old daughter like I almost died it was so nasty I could not believe it! Was so nasty! I really didn’t want to eat after that but oh well!
For hump day me and Morris weren’t even together I was on division so but we order a pizza that night and partied a little bit it was super fun. Its sucks because we didn’t take a picture of the pizza! The pizza was the biggest one they had it came out to about 25 dollars well they delivered it to us and well it came with soda! And that soda was coke! Which we can’t drink but we thought oh well we payed too much for this pizza we took the coke and drank it with the pizza it was so good! Like in the end hump day was good! Hahaha
Well I love you guys I hope you have a great week I got to get off because we are going to go bowling in the shopping mall I will take some pictures and send it to you! Love you guys have a great week!
