Dear Family,
This week has been sooo crazy and just so much has happened
and is going on. We have been teaching lots of people and we were going to
baptize 3 people yesterday but the pool that we were going to use was being
used. The president said we can baptize in the Ocean but he really wants us to
find a better place because he doesn’t think the Ocean is clean enough. So, we
told him that we would baptize today instead in the pool. So today we have 3
baptisms.
One of the ladies that we will be baptizing is Kiteria she
has a ton of faith, when we met her she was crying outside her house and we
stop and asked her what was wrong and helped her by sharing a brief message and
a prayer. We taught her the next day and shared the restoration, and asked her
to pray to know if it was true and the next day she told us about her dream and
how she saw a river and thorns but then the thorns went away and she felt
peace. That night we taught her about the Book of Mormon and read Moroni 10:3-5
with her. After we had her pray to know that it was true and she started crying
and after told us that she knows its true right off the bat. We also have been
teaching her mom who is a serious member of the Assembly of God church, (a
church that I think only exists in brazil lol) and we have been teaching all
the lessons and she has been going to church with us but still lacked a little
bit of a testimony. Finally, the very same day that the Zone leaders were
interviewing her daughter Kiteria, she was telling us about a dream she
had. In her dream, she said she saw two bodies of water, one warm and one
cold. She said that she went in the warm water and then saw two men dressed in
white, she told the men that she loved them and then the men told her that they
loved her and that was basically all that she said to us.
We also found some other people who will be baptized next
week and 3 more the following, so we have lots of baptisms lined up.
This last week has had some laughs too, my companion was
standing in the this street looking around and trying to get direction from the
spirit, when this little boy was running up and down the street and about the
third or fourth time the kid passed us, he tried to punch me in the soft spot,
but luckily I caught it and then my companion next to me, still looking around
trying to feel guidance from the spirit wasn’t paying attention and the kid
nailed him square in family jewels and then ran off. My companion was in pain
for like the whole next hour hahaha. Also, this week I saw a really buff guy in
a dress wearing make-up and wearing high heels, the weirdest thing and creepiest
thing I’ve ever seen haha. But over all a really good week, wish us luck on the
baptisms that we will have today, I’ll send pictures next week.
miss you guys!
Love
Elder Toma
