Week #79 - Lages - Episode #13 - Who Drinks Bottled Water With a Straw?




Every time I buy a bottle of water here they offer me a straw... after a year and 5 months I still don´t understand why, haha.

But this week had many miracles. We got to teach Camilli and Amanda and we asked if they had read and prayed. Amanda told us that she read the chapter that we left, knelt down and prayed for about 20 minutes. She said she felt something super good and felt that it was an answer. What 13 year old does that? We took them to seminary and mutual on Wednesday which was pretty cool.

On Friday we were in Florianópolis for a meeting with all the zone leaders. It went really well and it was awesome to see the progress that our mission has made.

Saturday we were trying to find some new people. When we turned onto a street, Elder Almeida said, ´´there is an elect here´´.  He walked past a few houses and then clapped one. A lady answered and let us right in. She and her two daughters listened to our message and really liked it. On Sunday one of the daughters, Samantha, went to church!! I think it was the first time during my mission that we found someone on Saturday and they went to church on Sunday. 

Lastly, on Sunday, our recent convert Kate, gave her first talk in church. It went really well! It is so great to see people progressing in the gospel.

Sometimes it´s easy to forget, but when I remember that I am here because of Christ, it makes everything easier. I am not here for me, or for anyone else. If we remember that when we were baptized, we promised to be a disciple of Christ, it will be easier to love and serve others and to be more like Him.

Have a great week!

Elder Scheer
