Goodmorning fam!
This week is the big week, we are hoping for every area to have a baptism, so far things are looking pretty good, we just have a few that dont have one yet, but they have possibilities so we will pray, excersize our faith together with our works!
Ive gotten alot better, i got sick near the beginning of the transer and ive just started getting my forces back now, i havent let up, its just been a harder battle because of the sickness. An integration night is basicaly like a big family night! We had even more people this past week as well!
The members are helping a ton! we had a miracle this week, our elders quorum president wanted to visit an investigator of ours with us and so we tried everything to mark with the invetigator but he said it woulnt work, and we tried to think of others to pass by to take advantage of having a membrer and it didnt work out, and then we almost called the member and canceled the visit then my comp remembered a man we havent passed by in a bit, he is the husband of a member and has been going to church off and on for over 12 years and never has accepted a date for baptism. But he said we could pass by and teach, and so we went there with the elders quorum president and the man said he had some questions, and we asked him what it was, and he said it wasnt anything about the book of mormon but he wanted to know, how does someone get baptized in the church....and there fell a great silence in the room....my comp and the member both looked at me...and i was just as cabobled as them, but i just started talking trying to not scream of excitement, and the words came out of my mouth, and we started reviewing the baptismal questions, and after finishing, we told him, "alright, according to the requirements that Jesus established for someone to be baptized, you are ready..." and then we invited him, and once again a great silence fell in the room along with a really strong spirit for a few minutes as he looked at the ground thinking....and after a little bit he looked up and said..."what time will it be?" we said whatever time you want, and he said " alright lets mark the baptism" the whole ward, even members from other wards are super excited about his baptism! the bishop went there this week, i went there on a division with the second counselor of the stake and he is super excited and progressing really well. His wife was bapptized 12 years ago on June 15 and his date is marked for the 13 of June, to make it even more special. Everyone is saying, "MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN!" It was such a great experience!
Oh, and the recent convert who lost her job got a job the day after being confirmed last week that is for mon-fri and pays way better! she was sooo happy, and we were too. "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" what a true promess. Milagres são reais!
Well have a great week family!!!
Love you guys!
