Little Changes

Good afternoon everyone! This week we had transfers, so it's been kinda super hectic, and we lost two days of work. Nonetheless, God continues to bless our area, and now that we have eight Elders in the area, we are starting to see a ton of results! I'm now with Elder Nascimento again. He was my companion two transfers ago, and now we're back and more excited than ever to work together. 

This week we moved houses. We were running six Elders in a smaller apartment, but now we have a "mansion". This place is insane! It has two floors, six rooms, and a giant kitchen. It also has a million problems including flooding, running out of water, cockroaches, a washing machine on the brink of eletricuting us, and a venomous scorpion that we found on our first day! We're always on our toes in this house. 

Our English class is better than ever now with four Americans in the area, and we added in American chocolate chip cookies to grab people's attention. Only problem was the Elders that we put in charge of making the cookies put too much flour and salt in, and then proceeded to burn them all. But the class still went well, and we were able to bring a couple of friends in teaching.

Please pray for Emily, Jessica, Nayra, José and Vera! Thanks so much for the support! I love you all and hope you all have a fantastic week!

Okay yeah, so there really is opposition in all things. This week, Satan was working hard against our friends and even our members. Not gonna lie, I was losing a ton of faith. But in the end, we stomped on his face and baptized some of our friends! First things first, these Brazilians are convinced that rain brings all sorts of sicknesses and diseases, and they will never walk in the rain. So when it rained Sunday morning, like no one showed up to church. The attendence took a hit, and we had a family of investigators who turned around and walked home when it started raining. Please pray that the sun comes out next Sunday.  We had a couple of baptismal dates fall through this week, because of all sorts of things. One of our members told something to another family of investigators, and now the mom doesn't want to talk to us anymore. I don't even know what to do anymore.  Another one of our baptisms fell through this Saturday, because it turns out that this lady was already bap...

Getting On The Road Soon (Happy Easter)

What is up everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week and a happy Easter! I literally love this holiday, and as a missionary, it's even better! It literally emcompasses everything that we teach as missionaries: the Good News. Quick thought Elder Holland talks about this "good news". He says, "The word gospel as we use it in English comes down to us through early scriptural language which meant literally “good news” or sometimes “glad tidings.” The “good news” was that death and hell could be escaped, that mistakes and sins could be overcome, that there was hope, that there was help, that the insoluble was solved, that the enemy had been conquered. The good news was that everyone’s tomb could one day be empty, that everyone’s soul could again be pure, that every child of God could again return to the Father who gave them life." When Jesus Christ broke the chains of death, raised himself from the dead, and was ressurected, he made this good news possible and pr...
