Weekly
Update
Soooo I was
transferred. And Sister Rodrigues too. The pres closed the area so there´s only
1 dulpa in Intercap. I really wanted to stay because of our investigators. Maurício
came to church again. We had a district meeting and we had a practice about
asking questions. And the greeny Elder Babcock who has difficulties speaking Portuguese
(who doesn´t!) asked one of those basic questions everybody asks in the CTM and
beginning.- If God was here right now and you could ask Him anything, what
would it be? And it is such an awesome question that I use much more now and it
really helps us and the investigators. I liked this because if we´re humble we
can learn from all people, whether they´re young or old or have a lot of
experience or a little.
Isadora
another investigator wasn´t able to come to church because her dad wanted her
to make lunch for him @_@, but next Sunday she will come and probably will get
baptized too :)
With Aline
we talked with her about her baptism marked the interview, but we didn´t find
her at home Thursday, Friday and Saturday because there was a holiday- Tira
dente (there was a dentist a long time ago that died trying to make Brazil
independent). Aline didn´t come to church and at church, the neighbor of Aline
who is a member said that she went to the Catholic church that morning and
baptized Victoria. So that had never happened in my mission before. Not sure
what happened but obviously there was a lack of communication or something
happened so that was a weird experience of the week.
Larissa is
another investigator who is really interested but is working with her mom to
let her come to church.
So I really
wanted to stay here and I didn´t want to learn another area, but the Lord knows
what´s best. I got transferred to Macedonia with Sister Bezerra. Sister
Bezerrra was also a sister trainadora and I will kill her (it is her last
transfer before she returns home :)
I leaned a
lot this transfer. My companion and I had difficulties as vezes but I really
dug deep and learned more humility and patience. I also learned more about
love. Really we can´t change others, but we can love them. When we love them
they feel our love and everything is better. Really we can´t change others but
it is a fact love can! Yay for love!
And already
I get to skype my family again for mother´s day! I only get 2 skypes on the
mission because with the timing of things I´ll be home for Christmas. Festa
bebê.
àte mais boa
semana abraços
