"Once there was a way to get back home. Sleep pretty darling do not cry and I will sing a lullaby. Golden slumbers fill your eyes. Smiles await you when you rise. Sleep pretty darling do not cry and I will sing a lullaby."
Oh my dear family. I love you all so much. I am so grateful for the message of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for His church being here on the earth again.
This week was a wonderful week. We worked super hard. Some awesome things that happened:
1. We asked for Marcos´documents, marked an estimated wedding and an estimated date 2. Dara, Dara, Dara 3. It rained a LOT 4. Jessica and Carina were confirmed
1. Marcos. It was so awesome. The Branch Presidency passed by that Sunday and told him that if he were to pay for his documents that the branch would be able to fund his wedding. It was awesome. We passed by last Monday and he told us that. So on Tuesday we went to the cartório which is like the document place and he paid for his documents and asked to get them shipped again. They don´t have a ton of money and for them to do what they did, it was R$120. It was a huge act of faith. Then we went to his house and taught him. It was so wonderful. He talked about his desire to do the right things. He has gained a testimony. Awesome. So we marked his wedding for March 16 and baptism for the 17. His documents haven´t arrived yet and then it is a 30 day wait so that is why it is so far into the future.
2. Dara is this investigator that we have. Back at the beginning of when we got to 4 Barras, she found us on the street and she said that her brother was a member of the church and everything and she asked us to pass by. But it was always so hard to pass by and teach her because they went into holidays and everything. She lives close to Valeria so everytime we would go to Valeria, we would pass by Dara´s house. Sometimes she was there sometimes she wasn´t there. BUT a while ago we marked a date with her for the 12th. I think I said the story last week about how she wanted to be baptized on the 12 but didn´t go to church. SO we taught her the Word of Wisdom on Tuesday. She really likes coffee she said. We challenged her that on Wednesday, to only drink one cup of coffee. The next day when we found her on the street, she had stopped completely. She had prayed asking for help and stopped cold turkey!! they a few days later, when we were passing onthe street she called us over to just thank us for never giving up on her and persisting and enduring with her because she now knows that this is true and the right pass and she is so happy with her life. The Gospel is amazing!!!!!
3. It rained a lot this week. The end.
4. Jessica and Carina were confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is so awesome to see them. They are so happy with this decision they have made. But Heavenly Father is a lot more happy about this decision.
I know that this is Chirst´s church on the earth. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God. I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves us!
Don´t Stop Believing and help mom and dad not be trunky!!!! :)
