Week #69 - Lages - Episode #3 - It Isn't About You

If I have learned one thing on the mission it´s that it´s not about you. Many people think that people serve missions to learn a language or to get to know a new place but if I wanted to do that I would not serve a mission haha.

This week has been super #blessed with finding even more investigators and inviting them to come unto Christ.

Wednesday we had Christmas Conference with 3 Zones and it was a great time.

Thursday was one of those days where you look at your planner and think ´´´this is going to be one of the best days of my mission´´ because you have a marked appointment every hour of the day. But as we went through the day every single appointment fell through... and it was super hot. So we were super discouraged but we still had 2 more appointments at night. It was getting late so we decided to go on splits with two members from the ward. I went to visit an investigator named Roziane with Brother Guto. We taught the rest of the restoration and at the end Guto bore a really strong testimony and she started crying. The Spirit was so strong!! At the end I asked if she had any questions and she said ´´can I be a part of this church?´´. So we put her on date for Jan 6! It´s moments like these that make the mission worth it. 

Saturday we got to teach Bruna, a member´s girlfriend. She accepted everything super easily and accepted to be baptized if she recieves an answer.

Lages is getting more lit every week. Elder Almeida and I are working hard and having a good time. I love you all and hope you guys have a great holiday season!
