This week was one of the fastest weeks of my life.
Not a ton of news... but John and
Monique are progressing super well. We taught them the Word of Wisdom this week
and John was shocked when we said we don´t drink coffee haha. We explained the
importance of the commandments and how Heavenly Father doesn´t give us
commandments to restrict us but to help us be happy. Two days after we went
over to see how he was doing and he was still drinking coffee. Elder Nobre
being a spiritual giant once again, explained the importance of sacrifice. ´´If
ye love me keep my commandments´´. Christ payed the ultimate sacrifice for us.
The least we can do is show our love for Him and keep the commandments. He said
that he would never drink coffee again.
This week we got a reference from
Bishop for a man who left his church because he didn´t agree with it and
started his own group in his garage of about 20 people. We taught him the
restoration and invited him to pray. I´m really hoping he receives an answer
because that would be 20 more people to teach!! haha so we will see.
Funny story of the week:
When we were teaching John and
Monique about the Word of Wisdom Irmão Antonio shared a story. He said ´´I have
a friend who had a lot of problems with smoking. When his baptism day arrived,
he came to the church with his cig pack in his pocket. He was changing into his
baptism clothes and he started to think, am I really going to do this or am I
going to keep smoking? He took the pack out of his pocket, threw it into the
trashcan and said Get out of here Satan because I will never put a cigarette in
my mouth again.´´ haha after he got baptized and never smoked again. Probably
wasn´t that funny for you guys but the way he told the story it was hilarious.
Well I love you all, have a great
week!
