To start off the week we had Zone Conference it was a really great experience and one of the best conferences that I have seen here in the mission so far. My Pai is an excellent AP!
Later in the week we did some reactivating with the inactives in our ward. We visited a lot of really great people who seem really excited to come back to church and they did. We also had great work with investigators, we met someone from Switzerland and from France. So that was a pretty wild experience, who would have thought that we would find people like this here in Brasil. We are teaching their families because they will be leaving for a little while, but when they get back they will also be taught, and we should be able to baptize everyone there.
We had great success with our inactives in the ward. It also helped the wards frequency go from 75 last week, to 92 the week after. So the work was fantastic with that. We had one who came back to the church after 7 years and another after 12! So it was a great success with them. So this week we had great success with the investigators and the inactives.
So my message today is another talk that I really loved from this conference that I would like to remind everyone about. It is from Elder Ulisses Soares. I love what it talks about and I feel that it can really help with all of us and our work of trying to help the new members stay active. So here it is. Enjoy! I love all of you and pray for all of you everyday. Tchau tchau por enquanto!
