Weekly
Update:
This week we
taught Guilherme more and are preparing him for his baptism. We taught Eliani
about the word of wisdom. She has an addiction to cafine, she´d previously gone
to a neurologist when she got a terrrible headache- but she is quitting coffee!
It was a great lesson with the Relief society president testifying too. I love
it when Eliani talks because she shares her testimony about the church, the
Book of Mormon, and even Joseph Smith and it is beautiful to hear. She will get
baptized with her daughter Eliza and cousin who lives with them Emily, in two
weeks :) Her husband Alexandre will get baptized one day but needs more time to
pesquisar :) A sweet thing that happened this week was that we finally found
the mother of Taina at home! Taina is 11 yrs old and is friends with Maria Rita
and Denise. It was Taina that we made a contact with to get to know Denise.
Taina is always playing around the neighborhood, but we never had luck finding
the mom at home because she works a lot. But we found her- Cristiane- and
taught her about the Restoration and it was a sweet lesson and she is super
nice and excited about the church!
Buuuuut I
was transferred! I will go to the area Pergizes, not sure how to spell it yet.
There they have lots of hills and buildings I hear - we´ll see! I was called to finish the training
of another Sister. She is from Argentina and is 29 years old so it will be fun!
The elders also said I will open up an area again, but I´m not sure, I think I
will just train, we´ll see about that too. The mission will get 13 new
Sisters!!! This is a lot. 5 of them are Brazilians waiting for their visas for
other countries. Sister Cannon arrives tomorrow! I will not see her because I
will go straight to Pergizes because the Sister from Argentina is already
there. But two days later we have trainamento das Sisteres so I will see her
woo hoo!
This week we
taught a lesson with a RM and he used Alma 7 to explain the Atonement and it
was a great moment.
