Elder Jacob Scheer: Week 33 - Florianópolis - Episode #2

Oiiiiiiiii!

This week was great! We have been able to find some new children of our Heavenly Father to teach and our group is now a little bigger! And some of these people have some real potential so we are pretty excited.

Last Monday we had a lesson set up with someone we contacted and they ended up not being home. But thanks to the list of members, we knew that it was one of the American kid´s birthdays and that there would be food and cake at their house so we headed over there hahaha. Well we got some dinner and cake

But they were telling us how they have a friend that they really want to introduce to us and when we were talking about him he showed up at their house! It was awesome, so we just started teaching him right then. He is a surf guy and makes surf boards and the next day we accidentally found his shop and it is so cool! I never imagined surf boards were made how they are.

We taught them again on Wednesday and it went really well. We could tell they felt the Spirit.

We are also received a super great referral from another member. It is a women named Rosangela and her two kids. She has had a tough life and she is very open to receive the gospel right now.

Elder Montero likes to always end lessons with a hymn. He asks everyone to close their eyes and think of Heavenly Father and how they can grow closer and then sings Nearer My God to Thee. It is sooooo beautiful and the Spirit is always super strong. So far he is at about a 70% bringing someone to tears rate.

On Friday we had a Zone Training and it went really well. Our President has really been emphasizing that we need to teach families and not individuals. So during our training we taught a little more about that. We used an object lesson with eggs and how that one egg can break pretty easily but you can stand on a bunch of eggs. Who knew you could stand on eggs? haha but it was pretty cool. When families join the gospel together, they really have the support they need even when they go through trials.

Lastly, this morning a member took us to tour a little more of our area. Seriously the most beautiful place I have ever been! I love Floripa!

Thank you all for the support! Have a great week and don´t forget to send Elder Hutchison a happy birthday!!
