Dear Family,
So for my new years my president made us come to Macieo because it's too dangerous and lots of bad stuff in our area during new years. So we
went to a members house and ate with the stake president and it was really
good. I'm still here in Maceio but I think we will be allowed to return later
today.
Here they had sooo many fire works everyone was just launching them
everywhere haha and it was funny to see drunk people dance on the street lol
because here they can't even dance without being drunk let alone being drunk
lol.
This week we experienced a couple miracles. So this lady we saw a week ago
was crying and my companion talked to here and tried to comfort her by saying a
prayer and sharing a couple scriptures. We continued to teach her through out
the week and challenged her to pray and ask God if what we had taught was
true. Then next day she told us she had a dream but she didn't understand it.
She said she was sitting there next to a river or body of water and on one side
was a bunch of thorns. Then a child gave her a flower and the thorns cleared
and she said she has never felt so much peace in a dream before and she said she
believes it came from God. I didn't really understand the dream either haha I'm not Joseph but i can testify that it was a form of an answer to her and we were
going to baptize her on New Years but the President called us to stay in Maceio
so we moved it to next week. We are also teaching her mom who i think will be
baptized too, she is slowly gaining a testimony.
My new companion will be
staying in Maceio with other missionaries for a couple of weeks, i don't know
why but he just will be. But he is half Brazilian, he didn't know the language
the when he arrived haha and he is from Draper Utah and i don't know much about
him yet because we only worked one day together haha. His name is Elder
Richmond by the way and the dynamics of a three way isn't my preference but we
can make it work. I just see two is more easy and easier to teach and just more
balanced but it will be alright and only for a couple of weeks because tranfers will
be soon after he comes back to our area. But over all a good week we haven't
been able to teach to many lessons because of the craziness here but this week we
will be able to get back to it.
Hope everyone had a good new year!
Love
ELder TOma
