I hope everyone had an incredible spring break and Easter
weekend!! Here in Brasil it was pretty normal except that we got a bunch of
chocolate from the members.
The weather is finally starting to cool down which is way
nice because I have been living in summer for about a year now haha.
Anyway the work this week was pretty good! Our investigators
still aren´t progressing how we would like them to, but I know with time they
will gain a testimony!
We got an awesome referral from the Americans that are here.
It is a guy that they do crossfit with and he is so ready for the gospel! His
name is Tiago and he was basically raised in the favelas and has had a pretty
tough life. He has searched for the truth in many churches but feels that he
has never been able to find it. I am super hyped to teach him and help him out.
Cool experience of the week... A couple weeks ago we were
trying to find an address and a lady and kids pulled up in their car and asked
us if we needed a ride. We accepted and they started talking and the daughter
told us that she has a friend serving a mission and has already read the Book
of Mormon and really liked it but that she is atheist. She said that she almost
got baptized and served a mission because of it. When we got to our
destination, we said thank you and got out of the car. After we both got out
and they drove away, Elder Montero was like ´´Why didn´t you get their
address?´´ and I said ´´Why didn´t you get their address?´´ And we just thought
about how stupid we were for a minute but then we decided to say a prayer that
we could find them again. On Tuesday we found them!! I didn´t even recognize
the mom but she came up to me! It was super awesome haha. I know that the power
of prayer is real!
Lastly our surfista investigator offered to let us borrow
some surf boards... man life is rough sometimes haha.
Also early Birthday to the best mom in the world!!! I know
that I would be nothing without my mommy! haha I love you all and have a great
week!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
