Hello
everyone,
This week
went pretty well! On quarta-feira, I had an exchange with Elder Borba. He used
to be the secretary but now is my District leader. He is awesome. He is Gauche
and leaves in January. I learned so much during the exchange about how to be a
better missionary and trainer.
On
quinta-feira, we had another awesome district meeting! We learned about
actually listening to our investigators and trusting in the Spirit to tell us
what to say. Then the zone leaders talked about how we need to be doing more
contacting and really try to talk with everyone. So Elder Gimenez and I applied
what we learned and our day went super well!! I don’t think I have ever talked
to so many people in one day. Then later that night we had a lesson with an
investigator and we tried to actually listen to him and ask inspired questions.
We were able to understand his problems a ton more and help him out a ton.
After the lesson Elder Gimenez and I were like "wow the spirit was so
strong in that lesson."
Also this
week we went to visit another investigator. She has been taught by two sets of
missionaries already. We set a
goal for her to be baptized on the 28th of November if she really
receives an answer to her prayers. She
accepted the challenge and we quasi shouted! She has never before accepted
marking a baptism date, so it was like Christmas lol.
It is cool
because my zone leader is Elder Roque now and his area is the other side of
Jardim Massangana. He he says he can see
our old area everyday. It is sweet that
he is in my district again!
Hope you
all have a great week. Happy Birthday to my big old brother Mike!
Abraço,
Elder
Waters
