Milagres esta Semana!!! (Miracles)
It´s was pretty crazy when I
first got here, in Rio Verde, Sister Amaral and I were on fire teaching and
baptizing, but it´s definatly slowed down. I have learned so much and it’s getting
harder, but the miracles are so obvious to me now it’s insane. Every
single day I see more and more how essential this gospel is for families.
I have seen families in the church fall back into old habits with the law of
chastity and the word of wisdom. It just breaks my heart to see families
suffer because of poor decisions. I know that without the restored gospel
of Jesus Christ in our lives, we do not have true happiness and joy. You can try
all you want to be happy and satisfied without it, you may feel happy for a moment or for a short time, but not for eternity. Holy COW my eyes have been so
opened this week. This gospel just keeps me growing (; I LOVE IT!!!
So this week we had a date for
Lenilson to be baptized. He was so excited when we first taught him and
he couldn’t wait to be baptized. As we started to teach him, his friends
would sit in on the lessons and the spirit just wasn’t there. He soon
became unsure about baptism and started lying to us and we found him drinking
with a bunch of woman. It was super disappointing and sad. Satan is
real and definitely has his heart, it’s so sad.
It’s easy to get discouraged but I
have to look at the bright side like what happened yesterday! We had 18 people visit our sacrament meeting!!
WAHHOOO!!! The goal everyone sets is 20.
Three weeks ago we had 21 then the attendance fell to 10 then 13 and yesterday
18!!! Miracles happen when you diligently
fast, pray, and be obedient!
