Anyway. (Oh and for all those that were wondering hello in
Portuguese is the same as hello in Spanish but without the H and has an
accent over the A, Hola=Spanish, Olá=Portuguese).
This week had a lot of downs for us. We´ve not been having much
success in finding new people to teach. We´ve done a lot of contacting
but it hasn´t been getting anywhere. We have been getting a lot of
malis, which means people that will give us times that they want to meet
but then they turn us down when we come to teach them. So finding new
people to teach isn´t going very well. We have one person scheduled to
teach next week. We are hoping we can get in and teach them.
An interesting thing happened this week with one of our recently
converted people. We´ve been having a lot of trouble with her believing
what we say. Which awes me a little because she was baptized. But a few
days ago, we answered the door and she finally told us she started to
read the Book of Mormon and prayed about it, and she knew that finally
what we said is true. She said a month before we got to this area, she
had a dream about two missionaries that would come into her home and
teach her the truth that she was looking for. She didn´t think anything
of it until she prayed. She also said in the dream, that one of the
missionaries was taller than any person she had ever seen. She told us
that she basically had a vision of us. We then told her that the Spirit
was preparing her for this moment that she would get the True Light of
the World. Now she is reading the Book of Mormon and understanding what
it says.
(Wow, I think I´m going to make this a thing now).
This experience is one experience that shows, the Spirit is real.
God uses the Spirit to teach and help us with the questions we have. I
know that he is real. I have a firm belief that he exists and that this
is his Church. If I didn´t believe this I wouldn´t be here doing this
today. We are the True, Church of Jesus Christ. I know this to be true. I
know that we are all his children, and he wants all of us to return to
him. So he gives us the Spirit. He helps us with the Spirit and guides
us with it. He guides us through the Scriptures and through his
Prophets. I know that all these things are true. I have no doubt that
they are true. I know that if you all keep these thoughts in your minds
you will not fall into doubt or despair. I know these things to be true
and say these things in the Sacred name of Jesus Christ our loving
Brother and Savior. Amen.
Well that´s all for this week. Here are some pictures from the past
few weeks. Keep on Pressing on in the Faith. I love you all and pray
for you all for success. Tchau meu família. Tudo mundo. Este é sua
missionário em Brasil, falando, até mais. Até o próximo carta!
