Week # 81. Promptings & Interviews!

Hellooo Everyone!!

This week was so much fun! We were able to stay so busy! We had one lesson with a friend where we got done teaching the Plan of Salvation and I asked her where she wanted to go after this life. And she happily replied with, living with Heavenly Father and Jesus! And then I said, we for us to get there, they ask a little bit of us. And one of those things is that we get baptized. So we gave her an invite to be baptized and she said that is what she wanted!! There are definitely some elect people in Curitibanos

At one point we had a little bit of free time and we didn't know what to do, but out of the blue we both felt like we needed to call one of our friends and just check up on her and see how she was. And when we called she gave us the news that her husband had just asked for a divorce... that was one of the harder things to hear. But I know that we were guided by the Lord to be there in that exact moment. We were able to say a prayer and read a scripture and she thanked us dearly. Follow those spiritual promptings people, you might just change a life

I got the opportunity to do a baptismal interview this week!! When we first started talking the lady goes, you're not from around. And I was like no I'm not actually, I'm an American. And she goes "oh yeah I could tell by your accent" and I was like well cool should we get started? Hahahaha But it turned out that she is a sweet lady and has a such a strong testimony. At each question she was so happy to say yes, it was awesome to see! Then at the end she thanked me for interviewing her! Short story long, she passed!!! And I'm so happy she's made the decisions to be ready! The Gospel is so so true. Changes lives

3 Nephi 13:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

This scripture really brought some reflecting in to my study! I encourage you all to think about where your treasure is. And hopefully we can all put our treasures in heaven so that our heart can get there before we do!

I love you all! Dont forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Image
Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
