It was another good week for Elder C and I here in Jaraguá. Every Friday we wake up at 4:30 to walk to the bus station and catch a 6:00 bus to Joinville for our district meeting. When I woke up that morning, I walked out to see a ton of maggots crawling around our trash can. Yeah pretty dang gross. But I grabbed the bug spray and broom and gave them the goods. Great morning surprise :)
On Friday night we had a lesson with Rose and when we started the lesson she told us that had read everything and even answered all the questions in the back of both of the pamphlets that we had left. When she said that, Elder C and I just looked at each other and started laughing. Pretty much every missionary´s dream hahaha. But her testimony is so strong and her study habits are already better than so many members I know. That night we ended up sprinting home again for 15 mins but at least someday we will learn to plan better haha.
Although Alex and Rose are progressing really well, almost every other lesson we had planned fell through. It was a long week of finding and contacting. On Tuesday though we had a super good lesson with a friend of a member here. We started teaching the Restoration but he soon asked a question and we immediately switch to teaching about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was such a spiritual experience. His prayer at the end of the lesson was one of the most sincere prayers I have ever heard!
My love for the Brasilian people and for the gospel has grown so much in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for this opportunity to grow so much and to help other people learn about our Savior. I hope you all can look for opportunities to share your special testimonies throughout the week! Thank you for all the support! I love you all and wish and incredible week for everyone!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
