This
week had a ton of miracles. And sadly I don’t have time to count them all!
I
feel like this week was pretty centered on the plan of salvation. We taught two
different families about the plan of happiness and wow they just loved it so
much. One couple we taught asked about life after death. We explained lots -
from the spirit world to the Celestial kingdom. And the wife says, "wow, I
have gone to so many different churches and they have never ever clarified
exactly what will happen in the next life. I feel so at peace now."
The
other family felt at peace too - such happiness in their eyes to learn about
God's plan for us. It really strengthened my testimony of eternal families.
This
week we also had an awesome experience challenging a family to keep the Sabbath
day holy. Their names are Edson, Fernanda, Letícia, Lucas, and Kawã. Edson and
Fernanda sell gas and water tanks on Sundays. So they have had a hard time
getting to church. We taught them about
the purposes and blessings of the Sabbath and invited them to keep it holy.
Edson looks at Elder Gasparelo and says, "do you testify that it is
true?" and Elder Gasparelo said yes. Then he looks at me and says the same
question and I said louder "I TESTIFY!" and then he said, "then
we are going to close on Sundays and go to church!"
We
have lots of investigators who are progressing so much and it is so exciting to
be a missionary. I love it so much. The Lord is blessing our area in so many
ways! We are asking a ton of the members to help because the investigators
progress even more rapidly with the help of the members. I love this mission. I love Jesus. I love you
all.
