You know you are in Paradise when you are in a lesson
sharing what you love with others and you can hear the waves crashing on the
beach.
This week was pretty good! We didn´t have nearly as many
lessons as we were hoping for, but the lessons we had went really really well.
One family that I have already talked a little about is
João, Paulina, and their daughter Danielle. The parents and their older
children are all inactive and Danielle isn´t baptized. Last week we had a super
good lesson with them but they still didn´t go to church the next Sunday, so we
were super bummed. So this week we went back and taught them and it was such an
incredible lesson. We read 2 Nephi: 31 with them and taught the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. João was super involved and talking about how he know he needs to
repent and stuff. Then he says´´We are going back to church, you guys rescued
a family.´´ We were so happy. And then this Sunday they didn´t show up to
church during the first hour (church starts with Priesthood/Relief Society and
ends with Sacrament Meeting) and we were really bummed. But they showed up an
hour late and we were so happy. They
were received super well and loved church. I love this family so much!
On Sunday we taught a lesson to the couple Alexandro and
Vanessa on Alma 32 and how we have to act and nourish our faith so that it can
grow. The Spirit was strong and at the end he told us that the message was very
clear and he knows what he needs to do with his life. Elder Montero and I have
started to be more direct with people and the Spirit is always so much
stronger.
We can feel the desire in the ward changing and we are
hoping that we can really help the ward to be better. I know that there is nothing that brings more happiness in
this life than the Gospel. I have never felt more happy than after a great
lesson or when someone new comes to church. Pure joy comes from Christ.
I love you all as always! Happy Mother´s Day to all the
wonderful moms out there. This world wouldn´t exist without you!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
Elder Scheer
