Hello world! It’s been a really successful week!
So this week we have started teaching a 20 year old named
Lauane. Her dad is an ex-missionary but he is inactive and she has a 16 year
old sister that is inactive as well. She was never baptized and now she wants
to be. She is really looking to change her life for the better and it has been
really cool to see how much she has already changed. We marked her baptism for
March 17th and she is super excited!
Miracle of the week was that 9 investigators came to church!
Super hype! We focused this week on getting everyone to church and it worked
out. There were still a few that said they would go and didn´t show up, but we
are hoping to work with these people during the week and help them progress
even more.
I also got a surprise visit on Saturday from Alessandro and
Vanessa, a family I taught in Florianopolis. We went to dinner and it was a
great time. Love them so much.
Today we woke up early to climb the biggest hill in Lages
and see the sunrise. Sadly it was super cloudy and we didn´t see the sunrise,
but we took advantage and took some sweet pics.
Yesterday I was reading a book called the Power of Every Day
Missionaries. He told a story that really stuck with me. He was a professor at
Harvard and he felt that he needed to make his classes better because of how
much the students were paying to be there. He was praying for guidance to know
how he could because there weren´t any mistakes in his teaching. Soon after, he
met an Indian who gave him the advice to help his students feel the love he has
for each of them. He decided to pray every day before his classes that he would
be able to change the spirit in the class by simply teaching with love. He
decided to take it even one step further to his personal life, praying that
everyone with whom he interacted could be able to feel the love he has for them
and the Love that God has for them. I thought this story was really cool and I
will definitely apply this in my life.
Love y´all!
