Lidiane's baptism

This week was pretty good. We had the baptism of Lidiane. It was super special and her own son got to baptize her. 

We got transfer news today and I'm going to be leaving Araxá. They actually are going to put Sisters in Araxá so all of the Elders are leaving. I'm going to be returning to Goiânia to serve in a ward called Ipiranga. It should be pretty fun to return to a big city, but I will definitely miss the time I had in Araxá. Today we went and visited the Barreiro again and the capybaras. 

I want to share a scripture today that I found when studying about prophets and Joseph Smith. It is in Numbers 12:6. "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream." This scripture is very good to help us know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God because if we pray and know that the visions (especially the first) that he had are true than we can know that he was chosen by God to restore his church and lead us in these latter days.

Crazy week

Image
This week was very different. We had exchanges and this drunk guy tried to argue with us about the story of Adam and Eve.  I got to say goodbye to my companion at the bus station as he returns home on Wednesday. Now I get to stay with the Zone Leaders, for the next 4 days, in a house with 5 missionaries and 1 bathroom.  Transfers are a little different with our new mission president and I won't know what's going to happen until early tomorrow morning. We also got to go to a party where there was lots of food and had a table to share Book of Mormons and other pamphlets about the church.  Always remember that God loves you and He is there to help you through all of your difficulties. All you have to do is get on your knees and pray to Him and ask for help.  I love you guys! Hope you're all doing fantastic!

Miracles

Image
This week was amazing but also really crazy. I saw many miracles this week.  The first one was I found Peanut Butter when I was with the Zone Leaders. I have eaten many PB and J sandwiches the past few days. I also decided to make a sandwich with pancakes and that was also super good.  The second miracle was that Elder Aviz, my new companion, arrived in Uberlândia. His bus never showed up but they got him on the last bus that came to Uberlândia so he didn't have to sleep at the bus station. He only had to wait 5 or 6 hours at the bus station. Luckily I woke up at 2 am when they called so we could pick them up from the bus station.  The third miracle is that someone who talked to the missionaries a while ago decided to show up to church and has a lot of interest in returning more times. We were kinda afraid that nobody was going to come to church even though multiple people said they would, so it was amazing when he showed up and we weren't even expecting him.  The fo...

Transfers???

Image
This week was pretty good. We've been preparing for the next transfer and trying to find people who want to meet with us more than one time. Our friend who has been progressing the most told us he is trying to move so we are hoping and praying that he ends up staying in the area.  I can't remember of anything special that happened this week. I'm feeling a lot better and not as sick anymore. We should be getting transfer news tomorrow which is nerve racking because I have no idea what is going to happen. This week we faced a lot of rejection and we got a little frustrated.  My spiritual thought to you guys is to keep on going. Even though we will experience hard times and people will reject us we need to keep on loving them. Jesus was rejected and suffered way worse than we will in this life. We can always look towards Him and ask for help to love others and continue on doing the right things like He did.  Hope you all are having a great summer! Love you all! If you have a...
