Well, here's another week that's gone by. Doesn't time just fly? This week had a lot going on for us. Tuesday we had exchanges, and I saw my companion for a quick 5 minutes before we switched again. Wednesday
was exchanges...guess what! Miracle! While I was in the other area, I
ran into Sergio, our recent convert! Woohoo! We even had a quick lesson
with the friend he was with! Tender mercies. :) Thrusday was normal, but
Friday
was leadership council. Most of the day was spent there or
traveling--get this! We live so close now, we can walk there!!!! It
takes about an hour, and saves money. Soooo we do it! Serving in
Sorocaba has it's perks!
Sad news. Cristian and Tatiane don't want anything
yet. But I know Heavenly Father wanted us to find them, so maybe it was
just to make sure we put them back in the Area Book for another
missionary to find them. He has a plan for them! Serginho's moving along
slowly...but he'll get there. Hey! Did I tell you about Mariana last
week? I don't think so...here we go!
Mariana was a street contact. She passed her
address, but said she was hardly ever there. "But just let God do his
work", she told us.
Well, we finally passed
by when she was home, and we taught her about the Restoration. She
understood really well, and we felt good about it, but she said she had a
commitment in her church, and couldn't leave. So we started praying for
a miracle!
In case you're wondering, Heavenly Father works by
miracles. Now I'd like to talk about a little miracle that's available
to all of us...the Book of Mormon!
We left the
Book of Mormon with her, and told her to read and pray, etc...all those
good things. Well, she read the chapter we marked. Then she read it
again! Then apparently, she liked it so much, she read it out loud to
her husband! (It's already going great, but just wait...) Then, she
started at the beginning and read until chapter 20 of 1 Nephi. And all
of this in 3 or 4 days.
Well, that was just the begining. Just think about
whatever you think would happen with a golden investigator, and that's
probably what happened with Mariana. She's incredible!! She'll be
baptized this month. :)
I don't have a lot of time, but I want you all to know how much I love you! Big, big hugs from across the world!
So crazy that Keaton's going home! I thought he had two weeks. Haha (....and then there were 3)
Thanks for your emails! Love you all!
