Looks like an awesome time!!!! I love our family!!!
So this week was a little rough! We had our Zone conference in Caicó
so the other sister from our zone came over Wednesday night because we had to
meet at the church to catch the bus at 4 in the morning to go to caico by 8. it
was rough getting up at 3 but I was just like walking dead in the street to get
to the bus haha! but the Zone conference was soooo good!! I felt the spirit so
strong...`Presidente and Sister Soares gave really good treinamentos!! I loved
every second of it! We watched a clip of Elder Holland’s talk when he is
talking about Easter and the Lord´s sacrifice for us...minha nossa it was just
such a powerful spirit that I felt really testifying of the love that my savior
has for me!!!
We got back from the trip the same day, Thursday, at like 9 at night
so we went straight to bed!! It was sooo hard to get up in the morning the next
day, but the work must go on!!!!!!!
we had some miracles that happened this week!! (I REALLY WANT TO
SEND PICTURES BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAMERA OR THE
COMPUTER!!!! UGH SOO ANNOYING...BUT IT`LL BE ALRIGHT)
so we had a baptism for Carlos this week!!! it was amazing, but so
stressful because all week we passed by there to get his parents to sigh his
baptism form. But they were never home or they just didn’t want to talk to us!!
al week we were praying for his dad to be home and sigh the form and let Carlos
be baptized!! Al week Carlos was like no my dad said more time ´mais para o
frente´ and we were like nooooo, pray about it, don’t be desanimado (I hate
writing in English, its hard cause I’m starting to forget some words) but yeah
it was just a tense week! But Saturday Elder Harris went there to interview
Carlos and try and help us et to talk to his parents to sigh the form!! We
waited and waited and waited, but his mom was busy making food and then after
she went to bed so she didn’t want to talk with us she didn’t even come to the
door and his dad never showed up! So we had to leave because it was almost 9,
and Carlos was like leave the form with me and I’ll get him to sigh it!! I was
nervous, but Carlos said something after that and I was just like ahhh I love
this boy...he was like we should say a prayer...! I started to cry. I’m just so
happy that I am a missionary!! I could just see the happiness in Carlos´s life
just by getting a taste of the gospel!! He´s going to be an amazing future
missionary!!! Love him!! but yeah we let him keep the form and we went on our
way! The next morning, we got to his house and I was just so nervous! PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE!! haha and WE saw Carlos and he came running to us with the ficha
in his hand and he was like my dad let me be baptized, he sighed the form!!! I
almost cried right then and there!! WAHHOOOO I was just sooo happy for him and
you could just see the happiness in his eyes!!
I just feel so privileged to do the work of the Lord!!
I love you guys and next week I´ll write a little more,
but just pray for some our investigators...Normando, Alice, Eduardo,
Junior, João Vitor, Ricarlos, Livia!!
`TENDE BOM ANIMO....`
Love you...happy Easter...enjoy conference this week with cheesy
waffles and pajamas!!!
