First off, Happy
Birthday to one of my best buds, Jayden! He is really one of the best pals I´ve
ever had!
This week had it´s ups and downs but ended up being good!
Roziane is a lady that we have been working with since we
got here. She has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and wants to be baptized
but for whatever reason she won´t go to church! So on Monday during our lesson
we asked a lot of inspired questions to figure why she won´t go. We found out
that she had a bad experience at another church and now she is like
traumatized. We have been teaching her thinking she was just being lazy but now
we know the real reason and we´ll be able to help her! Asking questions is
muito importante.
Juliane is still progressing super well. She hasn´t decided
if she will be baptized on the 10th or the 17th yet so we will see.
This week we found out that Cristiane smokes which is super
weird because there was literally no sign in her house. So we will have to work
with her on that and probably move her baptism to a little later.
Wednesday at about 11 am we found out that we would have to
catch a bus at 1:50 pm to Caçador to do a baptismal interview. So we lost all
day Wednesday and Thursday to work. But on Thursday we were in a city called
Joaçaba and there were 8 missionaries. An Elder from Texas plays the violin
incredibly well so we decided to go to the middle of the city and sing hymns
and contact. 5 of us Americans also sang I am a Child of God acapella and I was
having flashbacks to the Bethlehem Boys days hahaha.
On Sunday we had 6 investigators at church and a few that
were supposed to go didn´t show up! A family that we have been working with for
a while that we were about to stop visiting finally showed up!
It's been 6 years since I have decided to become a member of this Church and my heart is full of gratitude for the infinite blessings I have received.
I can´t imagine how different my life would be if I had not decided to be
baptized.
Love y´all!
Elder Scheer
