Back To The Beginning

What's up guys! I got one week left, so I'm gonna keep this one short again, but I promise that next week I'll be better. 

This week, there were a couple of really cool things that happened that I want to share with you guys.

- On Sunday, I got to visit my first area on my mission. It had been nearly two years since I've seen the members and people of Cabedelo, but they all seemed to surprisingly remember me! I visited the first person that I helped baptize on my mission, José. Has soon as José saw me, he ran to me and gave me a big hug! It was such a powerful moment!

- At church, I was sitting next to our friend Walkiria. She has been in her church for about 28 years, and we've been teaching her for about three weeks now. We've been talking to her a ton about baptism, and she has been iffy on the idea. Well during one of the talks at church, she turns over to me and tells me that she wants to be baptized next week! What a miracle! Please pray for her.

- We had a family night in my last area, and it was super nice to see all of my old friends!

- We ran our weekly game of Brazilians vs Americans this morning. It's been about six months since the Americans won a game, but you already know that we went all out today and won 5-1. Miracles happen! I scored three of those. I repeat, miracles happen! 

This week is about to be super busy, but I'm super excited! Also sorry for totally forgetting to add pictures last week and the week before, but I'll include them here. 

I love you guys! Have a great week, and I'll talk to yall next 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...
