Dear family.
I sure do love you all so much. This week was just blessings. I can feel the love and prayers that you have been giving. Thank you so much. Hah. So many awesome things have happened.
Last week (Wednesday night) we went out and knocked on this door and they invited us in. We started teaching just 3 people and every couple of minutes someone would walk in and sit down. By the time we had finished talking about the Apostasy, the house was filled with like 25-30 people and we realized that it was a church. hahaha. So we left the first vision with them and gave them the baptismal invite. They rejected it. They started to trash on us and we just bore our testimonies to them and left. It was awesome. BIBLE BASH AVOIDED!!!
Then Thursday morning the assistants called and said that in our zone we were gonna open another area! So we spent the whole day in Curitiba getting this new elder and his trainer and we took them to their area. We now have 20 elders in our zone! How awesome!
On Friday we went to Diordy´s house and his brother was there who we also wanted to baptize with Diordy. but when we invited Diordy, his brother, Mourício said no. When we walked in on Friday he said, "Elder, when can I get baptized? Can I get baptized this Sunday!?" It was awesome! So he got baptized this past weekend and it was super super SUPER cold.
Yesterday we did splits with the assistants. We spent all day in their area, finding new people and teaching. It was super awesome. We found many good people. I was with one assistant, Elder Gabriel. We are good friends. We taught this old man, who couldn´t hear well and we all started laughing when we would ask a question and he would just sit there like he didn´t hear. It was super awesome.
So this week was great! I love you all so much!! I am so grateful that we are a forever family and that we are making good choices in our lives, I love you all so much! Happy graduationness!!!!!!
-Elder Askins!
