This week has been pretty good!
Starting off with Roziane... we having been working a lot
and praying a ton to help her. We invited her to read the Book of Mormon every day
and she accepted and it has changed her. This week when we went to her house,
she was literally glowing and so happy. She has had some problems with
depression and we promised her that if she reads every day she will be able to
overcome it. She told us that she has a
huge testimony of it and every time she reads it she has a great feeling
of peace of happiness. I know that the Book of Mormon helps us in every way.
Sadly, she still didn´t make it to church this week :( But I know she will get
there!
We also were able to mark a baptismal date with Bruna.
She is 18 and dating a member in the ward. She has been reading the Book of
Mormon and praying and said that she feels peace and happiness when she does.
She feels like she doesn´t know for sure yet but we bore our testimonies that
those feelings come from the Spirit. At the end of the lesson, we all knelt and
each one of said a personal prayer. Bruna was the last one and she asked the
Lord to help her know that this is the right path. The Spirit was really strong
and it was an awesome experience.
Also this week we got to go to Florianópolis for a
leadership meeting with all the Zone Leaders which was really cool. On the bus
I read a book my mom sent me for Christmas called ´One by One´ by Elder Bednar.
It is an amazing book that talks about the worth of every soul. There was a
part that talked about inactives and the importance of ministering to them. It
made me reflect a lot about what I could´ve done better before the mission to
help those straying from the Gospel. It also reminded me of the incredible joy
I have felt on the mission bringing some souls back the fold. I know that as
members we have a huge role to care for every person. Please pray for and reach
out to those who have lost their way, and most importantly, show genuine love
for them.
I hope you all have a great week! Much love!
