Well the work here in São Bento continues with Miracles.
This week we've started teaching pretty regularly the sister
of a Recent Convert in our ward. It has been so sweet that we've gotten to
teach her. She explained to us that before she met us she was afraid of
"the Mormons." She thought the missionaries went around the street
and when someone was going to die we would visit them to bring them to heaven.
Then she had a rough experience and was praying for someone to come and help
her and the next day we showed up at her door. Wow. It's so cool how the Lord works
miracles.
We had a sweet Family Home Evening last night with her
family in the house of a member. The spiritual thought was about bringing our
families with us to heaven and you could see it working in her eyes that she
wants that. Afterwards the game was that everyone wrote on a peice of paper
their name on one side and instructions on the other side for someone else in
the room to do something (sing a song, do pushups, imitate an animal, etc.) The
trick was that when we read the papers the person that wrote the thing to do
had to do that thing. I had written for one of the kids of the family that was
visiting to eat all the dessert but then they didn't let me eat it all... (I
already knew the game)
Anyways there are great times out here. I am learning a ton.
This week I studied in Preach My Gospel about how we will be accountable to the
Lord for all we do for good or bad. I sure want to be acountable for having
done my part in the work of the Lord.
Love you All!!
