Dates For Baptism!

This week has been a little crazy!


So we've been focusing on getting people set on dates for baptism. We are teaching this one family that stopped us on the street and started speaking in english, which was strange, but they're so cool! They are really interested in the gospel! 


The first lesson we had with them we were only going to teach them the plan of salvation, but they asked so many questions we ended up teaching about the restoration and also temples! We've only had the one lesson with them so far, but we have another one planned this week, so I'll keep you guys updated!


Online, we met this lady named Marline. We set up a lesson with her and a member, and talked about the restoration. I shared about the great apostosy, and about Joseph Smith.  After I talked my compaion asked her if she was undertsanding up until now, and she responded with,
"nope, I dont understand the other guy because his portugese doesn't make sense". I thought my portugese was pretty good, but I guess it's not. At the end of the lesson, we felt that we shoukd invite her to be baptized, so we did, and she said yes!!!! Which just testifies to me the power of the holy ghost.  She didnt understand me but what she did undertand was the holy ghost testifying to her that this gospel is true!!


Love you all, hope you guys had a great week!


Our huge chaple!
And Rio de Janeiro!

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a little while since the last time I wrote. It's been a crazy few weeks.  So I'm here in my new area still São João Del-Rei, I've been assigned to this area for 3 weeks now, but only have been here physically for 2. The first week was super hectic, but the past two weeks have been amazing! Last week after finding a member that's been inactive for a little while, he led us to a few teens that have already been to church a few times! They are super super cool, they love the gospel and going to church! We had them on date to get baptized for this past Sunday, but sadly their mom doesn't feel like they're old enough to make the decision on their own, yet. So we're trying to help the whole family now see the truthfulness of the gospel!  Also, we found this other guy, he was a referral through other missionaries, we've met with him only a few times because his life is super busy. Last time we meet with him was Saturday, we pla...

E aí cachorro, como vai. What's up everyone!!! this week has been pretyy wild, let me explain... Tuesday (dia de cavalo)- every Tuesday we get home late in the day because we have to travel 2 hours from where our district meets for district meeting, so it's never a full day of missionary work. However, this Tuesday we got home especially late, at 1:00 and had to wait until 3 to eat lunch, so when we were finally ready to work it was already almost 5, a lot later than usual!! So all we did was a ton of street contacts.  We wanted to get to know an area of our city that we haven't seen yet, so we went for a walk on the freeway (you read that right, the FREEWAY!), which surprisingly had a bunch of people walking on it. There we met this guy named João.  We started out talking to him about his life, and he seemed pretty cool.  We then asked if we could share a message with him, and his response was right now no, I lost my horse, I need to find him. We thought that was a ...
