I hope everyone had an incredible Mother´s Day!! Thank you
to all of the mothers that make life possible!
Also a huge shout out to PV volleyball for taking Region
this year! Everyone go support them this week in State!
Not a ton happened this week but a few awesome things...
This past Thursday I had the opportunity to interview an
African from Ghana for his baptism. He doesn´t speak very much Portuguese so I
got to do it in English and it was a super spiritual experience. It was
incredible to see how great his desire was to follow Christ. I asked him if
most of the people in Ghana are like that and he said yes. I think that is so
awesome! They are naturally humble because of their circumstances and always
have to trust in the Savior. Sadly many people who aren´t forced to be humble
reject Christ because they feel like they don´t need Him. We always need to
remember to humble ourselves no matter what our circumstances are and rely on
the Lord. We really are nothing without Heavenly Father and could never get
back to Him without Christ.
Saturday was Guillerme´s baptism and it went super well! I
really liked a story from one of the member´s testimony: During a flight a
plane entered high winds and when the pilot announced that they would
experience strong turbulences everyone became a little uneasy. A women realized
that a young boy next to her didn´t seem nervous at all and just continued
drawing as he was before. She asked him, ´´Aren´t you a little nervous?´´. The
boy responded smiling, ´´I trust the pilot, he´s my dad.´´. All of us will face
challenges in our lives but as long as we stay optimistic and put our trust in
God, we will always come out of the difficulties as a better version of
ourselves.
On Sunday one of our investigators, Vanessa finally went to
church! We were so happy! Also a lady showed up with her son and said that she
went to church once in another city but moved here recently and wants to come
every week so we are super excited to start teaching her this week!
The subject is swan dive because on Friday during district
meeting I left the room and I tripped on a step and just embraced it and
gracefully slid 5 feet on my chest like the good ´ol volleyball days
hahaha.
I love you all and have a great week!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
