Batismo de Grace
Hello all,
This
week was awesome!! So Grace was baptized!!! Yesterday after sacrament meeting,
the Relief Society had a special meeting for Grace. We sang hymns and a member gave a spiritual
thought. Afterwards, Grace was baptized and everything went well except I had a
little trouble with the word "commissionado." But it was special. Grace said it was a super
emotional experience.
After
the baptism, the Relief Society president Roxana asked Grace to talk about how
she encountered the church. She shared
her story of how she never felt right in the other churches and how she passed
through certain trials such as overcoming cancer and her husband passing away
in March. She then shared her side of
how we stopped outside her apartment and yelled out to her and how we came in
talked about the Plan of Salvation. She
talked about how she thought the plan is "maravilhoso." She said she
is so excited to continue to go to church and grow her testimony. It was really
cool to see how she is feeling and I can totally tell that she will stick firm
in the church.
Family Home Evening
It was a such a cool experience to see how the gospel works in people’s lives and how Christ's atonement can change people. Through the opposition Grace felt, she was still able to choose what is right.
This
week I was also able to go on exchange with Elder Harrison in Cabo. It was
really cool to see another area. They have tons of hills. I can see how blessed
I am here in Massangana hahaha. But it was sweet to work with Elder Harrison because
we both have the same time in Brazil and so we had to work harder and not count
on our companion to talk when we didn’t know how to say something.
Hope
you all have another otimo semana!!
