Happy turkey day to everyone in the states!! I officially remembered
that it was this week when I read mom’s email 2 minutes ago. I am thankful for
the Savior, for Brasil, for my companion and for the scriptures. Oh and my
family. And yes that quote is a real life experience from the Sister Walker
diaries during relief society yesterday.
Anyways there are some new occurrences here in the mission and
we have been reduced to use the computers for only 45 minutes so if I don’t
respond to everyone just hold all your questions and thoughts and commentaries
for just a few more weeks.
Our week was good here but lots of people gave us back the
pamphlets we had given them.... funny how other weeks when everyone wants to
listen to you and then the next one no one wants to answer their door... haha.
Paulo is hiding from us and avoiding our calls sooo there’s that. On to the
next one.
I learned something really special this week, I realized that
something I will never forget is the look in someone’s eyes who thought their
whole life that there isn’t life after death, when we teach them that there
exists a whole lot more than that waiting for them. It’s almost as if their
spirit is inside there jumping for joy to read that, while their human mind is
trying to process how that is possible. We taught a woman named Raimunda who
had taken care of her mom while she was sick and then watched her die by her
side, and the church she was going to taught that our time is now and there isn’t
anything after death. That was a really good lesson.
I also got to give a talk in the ward yesterday on good ole
fashioned missionary work. I may or may not have cried a little at the end. And
it wasn’t even my birthday...
Here is a pic of my street, next door we live by a school that
is shaped like a castle.
I love you all very much! We pray for you, the ward members and
my investigators pray for you as well. até logo! se cuidam!
