Weekly
Update:
A while ago I talked with a man who was pushing a stroller with
a baby and asked if we could pass by and share a message with him another day.
It never worked out to talk to him until this week, and he let us into the
apartment. He was home with his two little girls, Bruna and Victoria 1 and 6
years old. Bruna turned 1 that day! Shortly after Rafael´s wife, Juliana,
arrived with her sister. We then shared the message of The Plan of Salvation.
It was a lesson really guided by the Spirit. We explained that our families can
be together forever. The spirit was very strong and Juliana and her sister
cried because they too felt it.
Two
days later we had a transisson from the leaders of the church and afterwards
the president pulled me aside to let me know my grandma had passed away that
morning. But it´s ok because I know that my family will be together forever! My
grandma was the sweetest, most caring person ever and now she is resting and
being taught the gospel. I´m very grateful for the opportunity I have to share
with people that death isn´t the end, really the beginning and we have such
hope because our Heavenly Father loves us and our families. When we returned
and talked about the Restored the Gospel with Juliana and Rafael, Juliana
explained that at the time I made the contact with Rafael they were looking for
a religion for them and that the day we taught them she thought she was going
to arrive and have a fight with her husband, but instead we were there and
talked about how our families can be forever! I know the Lord is preparing
people for us and that everything is in His time. But it was a tender mercy to
teach this family before my grandma passed away, to really feel the Holy Ghost
testify about the Lord´s Plan of happiness.
