Week #91- Pedra Branca/Palhoca - Episode #6 - Go Knights!


Go Knights! When I left Vegas the Knights didn´t even exist and now they are in the Stanley Cup?? #lit

This week was good as always. We are working with a bunch of investigators that we have been able to find these last couple weeks. The only frustrating part is that every week we have so many people say that they will come to church and then 4 or 5 show up. But it´s all good. 

Everything is good to go for Teixeira´s baptism this week so we are pretty excited. He´s 60 years old and he´s a big guy and chose me to baptize him so we will see how that goes haha.

Last P-day we hiked up to White Rock which is what our area is named after with a family we are teaching. It was super beautiful. We were able to see the entire island of Florianopolis from where we were.

This week we got to teach a family that is half member half non member. The dad and daughter are members and the mom and other son that just turned 8 aren´t members. She loves church but there have always been some obstacles keeping her from getting baptized but everything should work out this time! We will mark a baptismal date with her and her son this week!

This week I was studying about charity and I learned that we can measure our charity in three ways:
1. How we listen
2. How we give
3. How we love

If we can have true charity in these 3 things we will be so much more like our Savior. I think as a missionary it´s been hard to have charity with listening. I have a bad problem of zoning out when people are talking haha. But always remember that charity is the most important attribute we must have. He said that if we do not have charity we are nothing. 

Have a fantastic week!!! Much love
