I Love you family. It´s great to hear that everything is going great there in good ol´AZ!!! Everything here is fine. Last night I was thinking about what exciting things I could tell you:
1) Hearing Sister Cordon say "Boo Yah Grandma."
2) A drunk man who bought me and Elder Gabriel free chocolate milk
3) President Cordon signing the papers to the chapel and almost making a date for the dedication.
4) Franciele (juliano´s wife) has almost stopped smoking
5) Finding an awesomely awesome family and teaching them BY THE SPIRIT
6) Eating a lot of Açai!!!
7) Sleep talking and waking up in the middle of the night screaming because I thought a spider was on top of me. 8) Elder Rodrigues saying 'flirt to convert' all the time.
So this week was pretty great. President and Sister Cordon came down to look at the chapel and sign the papers. Sister said "We will sign the papers, have an open house, dedicate the chapel and then Booyah grandma..." hahahaahaha. We love her.
One night we were coming home. We stopped by a super market to buy milk and this drunk man came up and bought us chocolate milk and said "I love you Mormons, because you go to people´s houses, teach them to pray and then teach them the truth." He may be drunk but he got it right.
Like I said President Cordon signed the papers to the chapel. I don´t think I have said yet that Bonsucceso (the area that I´m in) is getting a chapel. We´ve been meeting in a little house. Well, in November we will be going to a BRAND NEW CHAPEL. How awesome is that!? Franciele is Juliano´s wife (the one who we baptized a little bit ago) and she secretly has been lowering the amount of Cigarettes per day. We are going to mark a date for her to be baptized at the dedication of the chapel!!!! She has´t told us that she has been slowly stopping but Juliano told us yesterday! He gave his first talk in Church on Sunday and it was GREAT!!!!
On Sunday, we taught this awesome family. FUNNY, I talked to the mom on the street Monday night. She said no and didn't pass the address. Then on Wednesday, Elder Gabriel did a contact with the dad and his 2 sons. (we didn't know it was the same family) We went by Friday and he wasn´t home. (we don´t teach without another man present) We went by Saturday as well and he wasn´t home. But on Sunday, we passed by and he was home and we taught him and his wife and one of their sons and their daughter and her boyfriend. They did not accept dates and the lesson was good, but something was missing. At the end we hadn´t talked about the Book of Mormon and we had already passed a lot of info. I felt super strong that we needed to talk about the Book of Mormon (I don´t think I had one with me, I had already given it away) I thought that is crazy because I don´t even have one, what would I say "this is the Book of Mormon, it is a great book that will change your lives but you can´t have one?" We closed the message, and I felt it super strong, so after we closed, I just started teaching about the Book of Mormon. They really opened up and started asking questions and then the woman says "you guys sure are persistant. Why are you so persistant?" And that took us by surprise, "What?" she pointed to me and said "I already talked to you this week and you asked for my address and I told you no. Then you talked to my husband by chance and then already passed by like 5 times this week. Why are you so persistant?" and then I knew that THAT was why I had to talk about the Book of Mormon. "We are so persistant because it´s YOUR salvation. because WE love you; It may be crazy to think that we love your family but we do. You have to read the Book of Mormon and pray and ask God if these things are true because you have to know because it´s your personal salvation and your eternal happiness!!!" They were very impressed. So we are going by tonight to give them a Book of Mormon and see how everything is.
I know the Lord lives and that this is His church. i love you all so much!!!
Don´t stop believing!!!!
