Feliz Natal para todos amanhã!!!

Wow this week was a great week! It was also super crazy to think and still is that tomorrow I will get to see my family again. Vai ser topy!!! Minha nossa, eu vou falar isso agora, eu estou na quele ponte onde eu vou começar falando e escrevendo só em Português, então eu estou com medo que eu vou perder todo de minha outra idioma. Now let me translate that; My goodness, I will say this now, I am at that point where I will start writing and speaking in Portuguese (without thinking), so I am scared that I will lose all of my other language. It should be fun for my family tomorrow.

So what happened this week we had some great highlights. The first is we were able to start teaching T´s family again. For those who don´t know, I don´t think anyone does, but she has been a firm member in the church for 1 year, basically a little bit after I came to Brasil last year. So her whole family is baptized in the church, it´s just that they are all inactives. One hasn´t been confirmed yet, whose name is J. But earlier this week we were able to teach J again and help her understand why she was baptized. Because going into it she didn´t know what it was or why she needed to because the missionaries in that time didn´t teach her very well. She had no idea about the church. But we were able to give her a lesson of The Restoration and she loved it a lot. We will start teaching her more and get her to come to church so she can be confirmed finally.

Another thing that happened, is we were able to reactivate a member who had been baptized two years ago. He has always been a fan of the church, he just lost the excitement to go. But we were able to help him these past few weeks and yesterday he came to church. He loved it a lot and said that he would start coming again.

Now finally on to the best of all of these miracles. We were finally able to get R that girl we have been trying to get to come to church for four weeks, to come yesterday. She was confirmed a member yesterday and is really happy about it. She has also started her Personal Progress as well, so I think she is going to stay firm, but just to make sure we will keep on passing there to see how she´s doing. So my family and amazing friends. That is all for this week. It will be another super lit week this week as well. We have transfers coming up this week as well, so we will see what happens there. So that´s all. Eu amo todos de vocês e eu espero que vocês tem um Feliz Natal, este é tudo por hoje, até o próximo!!!
