This
week went pretty chill! Today we had a p-day with President and Sister Bigelow
with our whole zone about exercises. It
was really great and I made some good goals to lose weight before I get home!
So you can disregard the photo of the Domino’s pizza my companion and I ordered
on Saturday and the Coca-Cola limited edition I found this week lol.
This
past week or so, near our apartment there is an electric field thing where all
the electricity in Olinda commences. Wow I don’t even know how to explain what
it is in English, but you get the picture. It is of the Celpe company. Well, it
like exploded and caught on fire for like an hour. The whole sky was apparently super bright and
there were loud noises and what not....so lots of the people here thought that
it was the end of the world...like literally there were people on their knees
praying...there were spouses confessing of cheating...and so forth. And well,
me and my companion were just sitting in our room at 10pm chilling with the air
conditioning on (first time I have ever had air conditioning in Brazil) and we
literally heard and saw nothing. Nothing at all. And the next day, the members
told us about it and were like "what how the heck did you guys not see
it..you guys live next door, we live here like 2 miles away and we could see
what was going on!!!" So I guess if the world ends… we will be the last to
know....
This
week was supposed to be the baptism of our investigator Claudineide. But it got
remarked for this Thursday. She is so flipping ready. But she kinda got scared.
I testified that this is Christ's true church. I told her the best place to seek help and
comfort is in the true Church. She felt so peaceful once we explained that. She
has received such great answers to her prayers and has been so fervent in her
faith.
This
next week will be transfers. I am pretty sure this is going to be my last area
so I am not really worried… but you never know! I love it here though. This has
been the ward with the most active members that I have passed through. I love
this Church with all my heart and I am so grateful for the gospel.
Boa
semana!
