Week #42 - Florianópolis - Episode #11 - A Brazilian, Colombian and an American

So this week was transfers and now we are in a trio... should be pretty interesting haha. A Brazilian, Colombian, and an American. If anyone thinks of any jokes let me know! haha. The Brazilian is Elder L. Ferreira and he was in the CTM with me. He is a good guy so it should be fun.

Another week that flew by...

This week we continued working with the group that we have made until now. They all have so much potential it is incredible. 

Wednesday we had a great lesson with a family. Their names are D, L, and the son is named W. We had a lesson with them a couple weeks ago but they have been busy moving. They had read the chapter that we had left them (Alma 32) D had read more! We had a great lesson about Alma 32. Now they just have to get legally married like almost every family we find lol. 

Last week I talked a little about a guy named JP but this week we got to teach his whole family! Parents and 3 kids, and they are legally married! The American families here met them because this family owns a restaurant called Texas Burger and the Americans invited them to english class. We invited the whole family to church and they committed to going but sadly yesterday only the mom went. But she said she loved it so that´s a start! 

This week I gave up on calling the Filipino lady but Saturday morning at like 8:30 I felt like I should call her. I said a little prayer and convinced myself that she would answer (miracles happen through faith). She answered!! I was so happy. She said she wasn´t answering before because she didn´t recognize the number... and sometimes I would call like 4 times in a row and she would hang it up every time lol. So it really was a mini miracle that she picked up the phone. I invited her to an activity that night and she came! We will visit her and her husband (who she´s not legally married to ;(  ) on Wednesday! 

I am excited to stay in this area and I know we will have success this transfer. I am so grateful for this incredible opportunity to serve a mission! I have learned so much about so many different things. I have really learned to love meeting new people and getting to know their stories. It really is incredible. I love you all!!! Have a great week!

Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!!
