Dear Family that doesnt like to write their missionary, but only send pictures of the awesome new things at home, :)
Well this week was pretty cool! We had a baptism, we went and taught one of the families of one of thie girls weve been teaching and the family is really receptive but they arent married. Thats okay tho. After wards the mom gave us her signautre so we could baptize the daughter. we baptised her saturday and it was really cool. Their happened to be a mutual activity so we waited till after wards and everyone that was their went and watched the baptism. It was really cool because i thought their was only gonna be like 5 people there. We had a family night at her(Amanda) house about baptism with her family. It was really cool, the 3 girls are always together and talk about serving a mission one day. Its really cool to see!
We found two families that are neighbors, we have been teaching them. They are really fun and like to joke and stuff. They understand what we are teaching them but satan is working so hard on them. We passed by saturday night and taught taught two lessons in which we felt the spirit so strong and i know they did too. But as soon as we leave, Satan attcks and its so frustrating to see! My comp told me that gods plans cannot be frustrated. and that is so true. its just a testimony to me that this is true when these things happen, i wish people could understand that. We are excited to work with them and help them change their lives!
We had a zone meeting and it was really awesome! they are really focusing on less actives right now, so we have been searching them out, alot of wrong addresses and things, but we have managed to find a couple. The ward is really focusing on this too, we had a meeting and the bishop wrote on the board, Resuing people and preparing for the second coming. Its really cool to think of it in that perspective, that we really are preparing for the second coming, their is so much work to do!
I recieved my passport and got my money! :) Muito Obrigado! perfect timing because we ran out of money and now i have an opportuity to help my comp with money like elder blake helped me! ha. We had to wake up super early today and go to goiania to return it. that kinda sucked but they never do anything like this, so that was really nice of them.
I am so grateful for the atonement. The enabling power is real, i have been focusing so much on this because i have so many things i need to improve and change to be efective. I am really negative and get annoyed with people really easily, im trying to be nicer and have more patience with people, like my comp, he has soooo much patience, especially with me. I need a lot more humility as well.
but Yesterday, i was sooo tired, we arrived at an appt and i couldve put my head back and passed out, i didnt know how i was gonna make it through. I prayed soooo hard, it was the thrid lesson and ive been practicing that alot. But the lord truly helped me to say things and teach and he gave me energy and the power to continue. This happens all the time, he strengthens us to continue on, like you guys talked about in the letter last week when you went to the temple. Its real, and i need it! i have so much to learn!
I read a talk about the atonement by elder scott i think it was from the last conference and it is perfect for Alexis! its about how satan wil try and attck our weaknesses that hes exploited before and how we can use the atonement to overcome this.
