I have officially survived 2 summers in Brazil! It´s starting
to cool off and I am extremely grateful.
This week has been great! But starting off with a story not
so great...
So we found the Stake President´s cousin knocking doors last
week and she seemed super interested so we left a Book of Mormon with her and
told her to read 3 Nephi 11. When we went back to visit her this week, she told
us that she had received an answer in the Book of Mormon that she needed to be
baptized so that week she was baptized in her church :((((( We helped her get
baptized in another church!!!! So we taught about authority and the Restoration
and she is going to pray so we will see what happens haha.
But a huge miracle of the week was Debora. She is a 14 year
old that we have been teaching but always stays behind the wall because she is
shy. Also she has been having doubts about the Book of Mormon. On Friday I
fasted that she would have the desire to be baptized and when we went to visit
on Saturday she came and sat in the room during the lesson! At the end she said
´´I know that the Book of Mormon is true´´!! It was so awesome. We marked her
baptism for this Friday. The only problem is that she has a huge fear of water,
she couldn´t even watch the baptism we had last week so pray for her! But we
gave her a blessing of comfort and everything will work out.
This week we had a really cool lesson in Elders Quorum. The
teacher made a really cool comparison about the Sacrament and sacrifices in the
Old Testament. As they would sacrifice animals in remembrance of Christ, we
take the sacrament in remembrance of Him and we put our natural man (the animal
inside us) on the altar of sacrifice. Always remember that the Sacrament is
something very sacred that we should always take seriously.
Hope y´all have a great week!!
