monday we had a pretty nice day around the office and we were able to do divisions with members. I went out with Brother Valmir and we were able to visit Antonio and Luciana, a family we have started teaching. As we followed up with them, we felt that we should extend a baptismal invitation and they accecpted with enthusiasm! they are so awesome and Luciana told us all about her reading in the BOM and how she love the way she felt reading about the Savior's appearance to the Nephites.We even talked to them a little bit about marriage and they thought it was a good idea!
tuesday and wednesday were fairly normal days. We had a nice district meeting and made some bold goals to really help involve our ward in our work and their missionary responsibilities. We taught Dominique Cristovão and Maria about the book of mormon and talked a little bit about Eternal families and how we can strengthen our homes. Dominique and Cristovão are an awesome couple we have also started teaching recently. Dominique closed her restaurant because she wants to change a few things in her life a tthe moment and she wants to start getting Cristovão going to a church instead of passing his weekends in home. So when we contacted her in the street she was very enthusiastic about us coming to teach her husband. She feels as though she already has a large knowledge of the gospel because she frequents the Catholic Church but its been interesting to see how she has learned and thought of things differently because of our few visits in their home. Great to have an eternal perspective sometimes!
Friday we had divisions with our zone leaders and a member. It was interesting because we ended up with 3 different companionships trying to workin our area! so I went with the member to visit inactive members in the rain. intresting how much Bahians hide from the rain (and the missionaries!) so it was a little bit of a long night. we had a real cool convesation with a young man who was sitting on the ground waiting for his friends. saturday we also had a nice p day but it rained a lot again.
sunday was probably the best day of the week. until lunch. we had marked to meet up with a member early to doa division and pick up our investigators. When we got to his house he was still in bed.. but right as we started losing hope another young man appeared out of nowhere! we were able to do a division and bring all the investigators we had marked to church! It was cool because on top of all this, a member brought Haziel's grandfather to church! after lunch we had to resolve some things for president so we werent able to make as many visits as we would have liked!
