As missionaries General Conference is always really special,
and not just because one of the members of the high counsel decided to buy
pizza for six humble [and hungry] servants of God [namely the Elders] before
the priesthood session. It was nice as well because in stead of one
opportunity to bring people to church on the weekend we had FIVE! We had people
all lined up to go to nearly all of them. Lots fell through but a few worked
out and had great experiences. It was also great to hear so many uplifting
messages. We had some other fun events during the week and weekend.
ARTHUR'S BAPTISM
There is a young man that has been coming to church for a
little while that wasn't baptized yet and when he saw his friends getting
baptized last month he wanted to be baptized as well but his mom didn't let
him. Last week we got permission for him to be baptized and we had the
baptismal service this week so that his mom could be there. My companion made a
banana cake which was a hit among all that were there.
Members in the work!
The last few weeks a member has wanted us to go visit some
of their friends but it kept not working out to go there together. We finally
managed to make it over there but we got there and they were in the middle of a
party and they were very welcoming. We left a short message and invited them to
church and they accepted. The member gave them a ride and they enjoyed general
conference and are planning to go again next week. Their teenage daughter has
passed through some hard times recently and she didn't want to say the last
prayer during the second lesson but we worked her over to do it and she said a
very sincire and special prayer and her mom was visibly touched afterwards
which was really cool.
Every week is a great week in the work of the Lord, hope you
guys have a great week as well!
Um Abraço,
Elder DP
