my week was just kinda normal. sunday there was an awesome devotional transmited to all of brazil from the area about the book of mormon and they gave us challenges to read the book before the end of the year then send a letter to them about what we had learned! we were able to take two investigators Vivaldo and Reinaldo and they loved it!
monday we had preparation for the last zone conference in vitoria da conquista and we sent elder davis (AP) to the bus station and i stayed to do a division in Brotas with Elder Gomes (AP). We had a good day the next day with some nice lessons but parts of our day got thrown out of whack by some nice strong rain hhah. it was really interesting to do division with Elder Davis last week and elder Gomes this week because i can see how much the extra training they get from president bangerter wears off and they have started to teach just like him!
wednesday elder cantuario and i spent a normal day in the office and then part of the night because of a confusion in the airport and with a sister coming to register with the federal police! we got her from the airport and then registered her with the police so now she is legally living in bahia! when we took her to the airport for her to go home they almost didnt let her fly because they thought she didnt have a visa or passport!!
yesterday we worked here in the office and got to our area to visit vivaldo and reinaldo and teach one of their family members the restoration. Then we got to meet with hasiel and teach him about the priesthood and he told us that he already has a interview marked with the bishop for him to be ordained a teacher! It was so cool to see how happy he was and how much he truly understood what we taught him. its been awesome to see changes in him and in the atmosphere of his home since we started teaching him. His mom gave birth to him when she was very young and treats him pretty poorly but his grandma is awesome. at first she was extremely hesistant when we started teaching the family together but now she has completely opened the doors to us (even if she still hides when we try to teach her).
I love being a missionary and being in Brazil. Its awesome to have this opportunity to teach people and learn more about Christ, and Gods love. The power of love is too great.
1 John 4:18
There is no afear in blove; but perfect clove casteth out fear: because fear hath dtorment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
love those around you to make the world a better place!
