This
week was great, but had it´s difficulties. Ana, Ruan, and Carlos have
been progressing really well. We had some great lessons this week and Saturday night we taught them how to have a Family Home Evening. We marked their baptism for the 12th but they didn´t show up on Sunday. That was a bummer, but we will keep on working with them!
I
feel like one of the reasons I was sent to this area was to find
Francinete and her family. They are so incredible. They have gone to
church the last 2 weeks and are loving it. Her daughter, Luana, was
baptized when she was 8, but they didn´t keep going to church after, so we
have been reteaching them. I feel like we were sent in such a perfect
moment as well. There is nothing better when you teach someone who
really has a desire to learn and change and they pay close attention and
ask questions.
Wednesday
was a rough day... haha after lunch we were trying to take a shortcut
to our next appointment because it was on the other side of the city, but
we got lost in the jungle. We were trying to find our way through when
we came to a barbed wire fence so we went under it. There were cattle
roaming but we kept climbing. After about 15 minutes we got to another
barbed wire fence and went under it, climbed a super steep dirt hill,
and ended up on the ´´highway´´. Then we got to the guy´s house and he
wasn´t there. Best feeling ever! hahaha. Then the rest of our
appointments fell through the same day. But that´s life as a
missionary!
I would never trade this time I
have had until now as a missionary. My testimony has grown so much and
have I learned so much about my Savior. I am so thankful for his
infinite sacrifice and I look forward to the day that I can thank him
face to face and give him a hug.
Have a great week!
