Week #92- Pedra Branca/Palhoca - Episode #7 - Revolt of the Truck Drivers

I´m not sure if this news has reached you guys yet but gas prices went up here in Brazil and the truck drivers are not happy. They decided to protest and stopped working so basically the whole country is slowly coming to a stop. There is no more gas in the gas stations and no food getting delivered to stores. It probably won´t last much longer but we shall see. 

Besides tha,t everything is great! This week we had Teixeira´s baptism! It was supposed to be on Thursday but when we went to fill up the baptismal font there was no water... so we had to move it to Saturday. But on Saturday everything went well and it was a powerful experience. 

On Thursday, after we decided to move the baptism we didn´t have anything to do. The gas station next to our chapel was one of the last ones in the city with gas left and there was a huge line of cars waiting to fill up. We decided to go contact all of them since they weren´t doing anything. After we contacted the first one and he said that we could visit him, a car passed by saying that there was no more gas and everyone left :( I was excited to talk to all those people not doing anything, but oh well haha.

On Wednesday we had a really good lesson with an 18 year old named Victor. He told us that he has been praying everyday and has been feeling something that he never had before. He is already in Alma! We marked his baptism for June 16th. 

Not anything crazy this week but #prayforbrazil because if things don´t change it´s going to get rough! Love you all!
