I can’t believe this week I will have 1 year on the
mission!! it is crazy how fast it has flown by!!! I have gotten so use to being
here and the routine. It’s weird thinkin that I’m on the downend!! But I still
got a lot of time left to be a missionary and take advantage of the time I got
left!!!
This week we found some new people to start teaching
but mostly focused on the people we have been teaching. Everyday after 5:00 we
are packed!! It’s already like pre-marked from other days in the week. I
remember at times on my mission, we would sit down to plan at night for the
next day, and sometimes we would have nothing marked, at the best one lesson.
We would just have to put people in and hope they were home. Now we have at
least 3 people marked solid everyday and we are teaching about 5 to 6 solid
lessons in peoples homes a day!! on top of doing contacts and talking with people
in the streets and visiting members and less actives. We are planning to have a
baptism this Saturday for Augosto!!! he is doing great!! Raimundo and Ivaneide
are still solid!!! We went with them both to teach Raimundo´s family. We
watched the 15 minute Restoration video which was awesome and really brought in
the Spirit, and then we bore our testimonies and why we know the Church was
restored once again on the Earth. But the best part and most powerful was when
Raimundo bore his testimony to his family. About how much he loves them and he
knows all of it is true and that he wants them to all get baptised so they can
all go to the temple! The Spirit was super strong, and Ivaneide even
spoke to about what she has been learning and how it just feels right!! it was
a proud moment for sure!! it really increased my love for this family and for
this Gospel!!
We had a bunch of awesome teaching experiences this
week! Lookin back at this past year, its crazy how much has happened and how
much I have grown as a person and a missionary. Getting here, understanding
nothing and speakin nothing in lessons, to now knowing how to do it all!
This past year on the mission has given me such awesome experiences that I won’t
ever forget!!! I love our Savior and I love being HIS missionary!!!!!!!!
A Igreja é verdadeira!! Jesus Cristo vive! Ele nos
ama!! Nós precisamos fazer nosso parte para que um dia possamos voltar e morar
com Deus nos céus!!
Amo vocês!!!
[The Church is true! Jesus Christ lives! He loves us! We need to do our part so that one day we can return and live with God in heaven!
Love you!]
