Aloha Família!
This week was a pretty good week! We worked hard,
found some cool people, got wrecked small kine but we still leveled up, haha.
We taught that Brasilian family that the member
presented to us a week or two ago, and we had a...not bad lesson. We went in
trying explain baptism better and stuff. They didn’t understand, and they were
like ok, what is the difference between our church and your church? And I’m
thinking authority! We had Carlos Braga with us, and he’s like “may I answer”,
and I’m like “yeah sure”, thinking we were all on the same page....turns out we
weren’t. He’s like “one of the differences between us is that we do baptisms
for the dead” and I’m like "NOOOOOO!!!!!". That was it, lesson
#gotwrecked. They just unloaded on us, haha. We survived though, we got out
alive and we’re hoping to explain authority better along with the plan of
salvation next time. LOL!! Was a funny lesson, makes me laugh just thinking
about it, haha.
We were able to teach our Muslim investigator Jaber
again. It was a LONG LESSON! We ended up missing the bus we had originally
planned to catch back and got trapped there for like 2 hours, haha. At least
they fed us AWESOME Syrian snack food :) He has a lot of doubts, and is hard
core Muslim and Koran and stuff, and we’re trying to help him understand
better. We’re excited though to keep working with him, especially now that we
have a Book of Mormon in Arabic for him to read!
Estevão came back for like a day and we were able to
make plans with him for his baptism on the 2nd of September. He’s solid for
that day, looks like. He just can’t do it earlier because of all the traveling
he has to do. He’s soooo cool! We’ve been sending him scriptures every day for
him to read on his phone as he travels, and he loving um!
Friday, we #gotwrecked hard. Everything fell
thru....nobody wanted to talk to us....was pretty lame...we kept going though,
trying to do our best despite all of it, even though it was pretty
discouraging, and right at the end of the day we were lead to this family who
let us right in! Gods got a plan! We just gotta trust and keep doing our best!
We completed all the challenges of the Presidente,
and we’re gonna keep working hard talking to everyone, preaching repentance,
and just getting buckwild! I love being a missionary! Its super stressful, and
it’s a lot of work, but the feeling of peace, happiness, accomplishments, and
purpose that come are just awesome! I KNOW THAT GOD LIVES! Life just makes
soooooo much sense when in the context of the gospel!!!
Family, I love you guys! Glad to hear you guys had a
good reunion!!! Please continue to look for ways to put God in first place in your
guys lives, cuz as we do, everything else falls into place! It works! It’s
true!!! Love you guys!
com amor,
