Helloooo Americans. How are you my friends??
It was a good week! We spent the whole week focused on building up
Zion here in our area so that was great! We had some major
disappointments with people not going to church and asking me " what do
you want.." when we call them, but there was also some great blessings.
Priscilla was confirmed this week and went to church in a skirt! What!
Now the only thing that lacks is for her to take out her nose ring!
Speaking of piercings I had an interesting baptismal interview with
a 15 year old this week very distressed about some of her "rings". I
was like listen, Im a missionary, take the thing out to get baptized,
and then talk with your bishop/woman leader. Then she was like no its
not even bad, look, and whoop UP COMES THE SHIRT! Im like ahhhh! nooo!
It gave me a good scare, but she was just showing me her belly button
ring. Girls...
Yesterday we did a division with the assistants. It was fun to
spend another day with my good buddy Elder Melo. He is a little rat. He
loves looking through ALL my belongings to find things he can take home
with him. But we had a great lesson with some new investigators that we
have. Suzanah and Suelen. They are 40 and 15 and told me last night they
are loving the Book of Mormon, loving us, but are scared to go to
Church in fear of not loving it there. Almost like a Is it too good to
be true? type of thing. We gave a powerful witness of the reality of the
holy spirit, and invited them to pray earnestly to know if what we have
certainty of, is true. They promised they would, and will also go to
church this week. AGUA.
I have felt spiritually uplifted this week from my study. I really
feel like the new dvd players we have received with training segments on
preach my gospel are going to be great. The work is evolving and I feel
confident in our ability to use it for good. Let me bear my solemn
witness to my friend and family of the reality of The Living Church. The
Church is guided by true revelation, of that I have no doubt. The Book
of Mormon is a powerful testament of Jesus Christ, given to us by God as
a source to know the truth of all things. Christ atoned for our sins
allowing us to repent and use God´s ordinances here on earth to one day
return to him.
Each day I have a renewed desire to find, and teach people these
things, in preparation for the first ordinance of the gospel- baptism.
Essa é a igreja de Cristo.
Vos Amo.
