Miracles Galore


Another Great Baptism Of Another Great Sister

BAPTISM!!!! :) Valhena was baptized! Oh she is so amazing! Her son Rafeal wanted to also, but I think that it was Valhena that was trying to convince him to be,  because he really doesnt want to. He still wants to be taught and I am sure that he will be baptized soon.

Oh Valhena is amazing! So we found out that she is not married to her husband.. He lives in Angola and they are moving to live with them in two months. We had to explain to her more thoroughly the law of chastity. That they need to be married and not live together until they are married. She had a really hard time with this because they have been together for 15 years and have 6 kids together. Also they have been trying to get married but her husbands last wife will not sign the devorce papers. She said she will not live with him until they were married! Oh she is so great! She also drank coffee and it has been super hard for her to quit. But, she is using the money that she ususally would spend on coffee to take her family to church!! Oh she is so amazing! She was willing to do everything and anything to be baptized. She also had an abortion so she had to be interviewed by the Cowely relative. Also she told us that she really wants the gospel for her family and wants to be an example for her family. I told her that she was. I told her that I always watched and tried to follow what my parents told me and that she has a huge influence in what her children will do.

 

True Conversion

Also that drunk man that I wrote about is marked for baptizm on the 14th of July. His name is Joao and he is so great. He has problems with smoking! But he is so great every week he will make us herbal tea and have cookies for us! Oh he is so great! He came to church and said that it was long haha but liked it. 

Also we had 4 investigators at church it was sweet! 

Also this week we went to a members father's restaurant this week. HMMM it was so good!! 

 

A Finding Miracle

There was this man that we stopped in the street and he said that he didnt have time. Then we went to a different area. We ran into him on a different street and he said okay I will listen to you because I ran into twice so this probably means that God needs to talk to me. Then he listened and said that we would mark a different time to meet. But he pointed at me and said she can''t come because she is too pretty. I won't be able to focus. hahah.... So its a good thing this is not my area anymore and the elders will teach him.

 

Switching Areas

Also we are switching areas with the elders... I am trying so hard to look for the positive... UGH!!!!! I want to stay in my area. Also we will stay in the same house but we will have to travel 30 mins to get to our area.. so that means we will not get lunch or dinner at our house... Ugh!!! I am going to miss our ward and the people that we are teaching! But Sister Beard is still here and so is Sister Pinto and I have the same companion. The area is Miratejo. 

It is getting so hot! I feel like I am melting!!
