Weekly
Update:
I will write
this weekly update first thing.
This week
passed by super fast. We worked a lot and tried to find (and found) new people
to teach. I made a contact with a girl named Kettlin and marked an appointment
and when we returned we met her two siblings and mom...a família! The mom also
knows a member so we´re excited to get to know them better.
This past
Tuesday Sister C. Silva and I gave a training that was super good if I say so
myself about working with the members. Sister C. Silva wanted to do more family
home evenings with the members so now we´re trying to have a fixed calendar of
FHE in the ward and I think it will be great. Also, I´ve thought of an idea, I
think it was the Holy Ghost, to organize the list of members in a way that will
make visiting much easier and more reactivating, so we´ll see on that. Also we
are planning a fireside and we want to invite Prezi Thomas to come too.
Sister
Thomas is in charge of the health of the mission, but she´s still learning the
language so I will be her translator- the sisters will call me with health
stuff and I´ll give advice and report the call to sister Thomas. That´s how it
was explained to me so we´ll see how this one goes.
We had our
transfer but Sister C. and I stayed. I´ll be honest I wanted to be called as
sister training leader, but the President changed the system a lot. Pres Del
Guerso had talked to me about being called but Pres Thomas changed things this
transfer. Before there was 8 sister leaders- two sisters called in one dupla.
Now there is only one sister called in the dupla or 4 sisters so the pres
didn´t call anyone else just released a bunch. But I really like this area and
I know that the Lord has a purpose and plan so I´m going to go with it.
But the best
part of the week was Kelly´s baptism :))))))
She is so
cute. Her brother Michael baptized her and her dad was there too. Now the only
person who isn’t baptized yet is the dad so we´ll get to work! Kelly was a
miracle really and was the Lord´s way of letting me know I´m working well
because we worked a lot but the new investigators we found didn´t progress, but
the Lord gave us Kelly instead :) The baptism was chique- the primary sang a
song and the pres of the primary bought a cake and we brought the juice! I love
seeing an older brother baptizing someone in the family, very special. I always
remember when my brother Nathanael baptized the youngest
Sammy :)
In other
news I have stopped eating churros because eles não fazem bem infelizmente. But
this week I got a ton of the Olympic coins of $1 real so I just need two to
finish the collection so I´m pretty pumped about that.
I only have
three more transfers so that´s weird. I´m excited to start this transfer. If
I´m still here it´s because we´re going to help a ton of people and batizar até
o pó!!!!!!
Abraços
