At A Mission Meeting
Hello good people of America!
Here’s the week update: we are going to have the baptism of Irmã
Eliane this Saturday, woohoo! She’s super excited! It is amazing to
hear her testimony. Usually the people we teach know that we have something
different but don’t know really how to recognize it or explain it. But she’s
different. She already has been to so many churches she gave up. She thought
the Mormons were a cult who didn’t believe in Jesus! And now she’s going to be
one! Who knew? She talks about how her life is so much more fulfilling, it has
a purpose and she feels the presence of Jesus Christ in her life after she
started reading the Book of Mormon. That book is the key people!
I’m also not embarrassed to say that we may or may not be
getting a lot more people to church just because I use the excuse ´´but I’m going
back to America and I’ll never see you guys again!´´ and then they feel bad for
me and go to church. Hey, every teaching technique is welcome and utilized
here.
I have also gotten three invites this week to not go back to America
but to stay here and live with people, all three were from children I teach or
ward member’s kids, but still.
Funny story of the week is that we were walking down the street
and there was a little stubby chubby old shirtless man walking down the street obviously
drunk, stumbling all over the place. Then he starts to pull out something black
from his pants and turns out its a huuuuge machete that was somehow hidden away
there. He takes the machete and to himself he’s mumbling ´´I’m gonna rob ya... I’m
gonna rob ya´´ hahaha. I was laughing so hard.
Anyways I try my best to just think of my work here, if I start
to think of anything else I start to have mini panic attacks. But it’s all
good! The Lord will provide a way, I’ve come to know that. I know His true
church is this one! I may not understand it 100% but I know I feel it inside of
me, and that’s something no one can ever take away from us. I love my mission! And
I love you guys! See you soon.
