So its time for transfers again!!! wow I will be starting
my 5th transfer this week.. Kinda crazy!! I will be staying in Realengo. My
first and only area. Elder Leal will be leaving after only 1 transfer here. I
already have 3 going on 4. But i am so very excited. I absolutely love this
ward and my opportunity to work with and learn from them!
So last week for Pday we played football with a bunch of
people in my ward and some missionaries. Our pday happen to be on a holiday. It
was so much fun! We will try and do the same thing today but i dont know if it
will turn out the same. I didnt remember to write about easter last week. After
church we ate with a member and all of his family.
They had a lot of meat. Several times he just took my
plate and filled with with meat. It was really good...
Someone that we have been spending a lot of time teaching
a lot is Washington and his Family. His wife Elaine, Daughter Laressa and Son
Rena. If you could please pray for them!! They are wonderful. They were a
reference from the someone in the ward. They are having difficulty making time
for God in there life. They are literally always working. Washington used to
live in the street and now he owns a mechanic. He wakes up and goes to work
there when he gets home he starting working on his house (which is
beautiful).Elaine is not progressing as fast as Washinton. She has her own
religion and is happy with her life. She listens to our messages and that is
about it, until yesterday. We have asked her severaly times to read The Book of
Mormon. Yesterday she said that she would. This was a very interesting
experience. When i was trying to explain the Book of Mormon and its importance
and how it keystone of our religion i felt as if i should let her know that her
religion is false and not correct. So I did. She was very shocked at first that
I would say such a thing about her religion (which is truely false) but she
agreed to start reading the Book of Mormon after. This was a pretty cool
experience. If you could please pray for them!!
Every week I learn so very much. I have been trying to
read all of the BoM in portuguese out loud so this is where most of my time is
spent studying. It is really weird to see all the things that i missed when i
read the BoM in English only a few months ago. The Book of Mormon is so
unbelievable clear about its purpose. Being the very word of God that is claims
to be or a book of men. Making it a lie and a book of the devil. DO more the
just read the Book of Mormon. STUDY IT and then pray about it. Pray to know if
it is the very word of God that it claims to be.
