Hey everyone! What's up! So this week has been a good and hard
one.
So, first off we have an investigator that won’t stop smoking or
drinking! It is frustrating because he keeps telling us that he wants to quit
and we gave him a blessing (which he said worked and every time he wanted to
smoke he wanted to throw up. So we thought that would end it right? No. He
still continued after, hence Miracle that went bad) but we ended up just
telling him that he can’t keep doing this. So we helped him with taking away
chances to smoke or situations that he would do these things so let’s hope that
will help!
NEXT, we went back to visit an investigator and we ran into her
son, Italo. So we started talking to him about music, cars, planes, and then we
said, oh a gente vai passa amanha ta bom (or, we will pass by tomorrow
alright?) He then said, “or we can just talk right now” (hmmm, alright sounds
good) so we then taught him and his mom and we marked a date with him. Then we
passed by again and he will be moving but it is still in our area so we will
see him again!
Then on Thursday was Independence Day here WHICH WAS a normal day.
Like, no one celebrated anything. I heard more fireworks going off for Flamengo
(a soccer team and my favorite team here. Vai Flamengo!) than I did for their
own independence. BUT we did have a churrasco (barbecue) and it was
killer!
But then our mission president said that the missionary manual
said that holidays were perfect for finding families so he said if you go out
and search, you will find one family and one youth (jovem) that will go on a
mission. So we went out, and...... We got a family and a youth to teach!! We
just need to continue to pass by there, but that day, we got 6 new
investigators. It was just a testimony to me that if you use the time of the
Lord wisely, especially when you do your part, the Lord will provide.
I hope you all have a great rest of the week!
Love,
