so this week was really good, we are really working alot. so this week we had a miracle and it was amazing. Marcelo and his family that were baptized, well their oldest daugther wasnt baptized with the family, because she had a boyfriend, well she has been going to church and everything, but didnt want to live the law of chasity, well on thursday we went there and had an extremely spiritual lesson, and she accepted to be baptized! so we prepared everything and on sunday she was baptized! It was amazing! It was a really special baptism. because the whole family is now baptized, and they are already talking about going to the temple in 1 year. it was a really special day.
it was a crazy week filled with alot of spilts in other areas. our zone had 10 baptisms this week so we had to do alot of interviews and so we traveled alot.
so after kayla was baptized, that basically leaves us with no one to teach, so this week we are starting from nothing. it is going to be really fun.. we are going to work in a place where missionaries have never worked before. we are just going to basically work with all the members there and try to get alot of new investagators.
this week is going to be alot of fun too, tomorrow we have intreviews with our new president, i am really excited to work with him, i really hope to get to know him well.
we are teaching a new family that we way awesome. there names are Rimundo and Nelma, of course since i am in Brasil they arent married haha but thats alright, they always wanted to get married. so we went and taught them ( they were a referal from the bishop.) when we got there before we taught we asked him if he had anything that he would like to ask Heavenly Father in the prayer and he said, well i want to ask that me and my wife can be baptized in your church and that we can follow it well for the rest of our lives.. haha lets just say missionary work is easy when you are teaching people like that. so they went to the ward activity and everything and next tuesday we are going to mark their wedding... in the middle of august they will be married and baptized. it is going to be a great family.
it is really fun leaving in 6 missioaries, we are able to have alot of success together, and at the same time we are able to have alot of fun. I live with a really funny and great elder, elder greener. it is his last transfer. but he is a great friend already, he is going home in 2 or 3 weeks, and says that he is going to visit our family when he gets home.
I love being a missionary it is great. the blessing of the gospel are for everyone!!!
