This week was pretty
interesting if I do say so myself.
It started last Monday after
we left the LanHouse (emails). A random
young man named Fernando came up to us and told us that he wants to be
baptized. We were like whattt. He then explained that his girlfriend is LDS,
and that he was praying Monday morning and felt like he needed to be baptized
and serve a mission in the future. We were like whattt no way! So we got his
address and invited him to church. He
came to church, watched our baptism and then a member invited him to a noite
familiar. The Lord really is putting people in our path.
For lunch on Monday I decided
to make the stuffing and mashed potatoes that came in my package, because I didn’t
have anything else to eat. It turned out well and tasted so good! Afterwards I got a stomach ache. I was like
neh it’s just because I ate a bunch. But when we left the house to work at 6, I
still was hurting. But I was like nah its nothing. We got to our investigator
Dilma's house and began to teach her. She offered me what I thought was an
alka-seltzer with water, but I think it was something else now. During the
lesson, I felt so sick that I stood up, walked out her front door and then
threw up in the street like 6 times. Yeah idk. All the neighbors were watching
hahahha and Dilma couldn't stop laughing.
On Thursday, Elder Gimenez
and I had a "Brazilian type Thanksgiving." We got pizza, ice cream,
and made the cake that mom sent (which Elder Gimenez decorated Brazilian-see
pic). It was our feast. Not too traditional of the states, but it was still a
good night!
On Sunday Lucas was baptized
with his little brother Luiz. Their uncles baptized them and it went well!
Other than that this week was
pretty chill. I had a dream about flying kites, so I am going to buy one today.
I am still waiting for the snow. It
doesn't look like it will come this Christmas.
Moroni 7:40-48 is a super
great scripture about hope. Check it
out. Hope you all have a great week!! Love you guys and the Savior
paz e bênçãos
