This week went very well, lots of spiritual experiences.
The first counselor to the bishop was baptized a few years
ago, and every one of the family with him except his mom. The mom didn’t even allow missionaries to have lunch in the
house because she didn’t want to hear the message. But a couple weeks after I arrived she started to except
giving lunch and two weeks ago she went to church and we felt the spirit really
strongly saying "mark a visit with her and invite her to baptism"
like what a crazy thought, ask her to be baptized? but we didn’t even question
it because the spirit said to. So during the week we went there and talked with
her and with a very spiritual message, we marked baptism for the 30th of this
month, The first counselor to the bishop (her son) cried, she cried, and my
companion cried ha-ha, but it was a very spiritual experience, the next visit
we talked about coffee and I was ready to help her with setting goals when suddenly
she said that she will stop that same day, I’m still shocked to this day that
she stopped and still hasn’t drinking a single cup of coffee.
The other miracle was with Matheus, we sat down with him and
talked to him about his baptism and I felt inspired to share dad´s story when
he was in Japan and the girl wanted to be baptized but her dad wouldn’t let her
and finally she fasted and told him that she was fasting and he was impressed.
While I was telling this story to him the spirit was very strong and we all
felt impressed to fast and pray. even if he doesn’t get baptized this week I
know that it was for something because the spirit said so.
I’m excited for this week because I know that there will be
even more miracles this week.
It’s crazy that Cole returns in 3 weeks! give him a hug for
me ha-ha.
It sounds like everyone is doing well, Conner is liking football it sounds like?
ha-ha its funny because I hated soccer but now I’m starting
to like it because we play it every pday lol.
The weather here has been weird, hot and then cold and then
hot ha-ha, and it is raining a lot this year here.
I’m excited for conference also, it’s crazy that it has
almost been a year since I was at home watching oct conference and then I left
for Sao Paulo a few days later.
But how is Porter settling in? culture shock?
Say hi to everyone for me
miss you all.
