What a fantastic week!! It has been flying by! Everyday there is a thunderstorm, but Sunday night it was crazy and poured and poured and the lightning was extremely close, haha! It was Carnival this weekend so we got all dressed up......in our pajamas at 6 pm when we had to return to our house on Sat and Sunday hahaha! We made cookies with m and ms. Super tasty!
We had Zone Conference in Tapauté on Thursday and the topic was about the Restoration and how important it is for each of us as members to have a firm testimony of the Restoration, Joseph Smith, and the Book of Mormon. It is really neat teaching people the first vision and the Spirit that enters the room. The look on people´s faces change and they are always amazed at the miraculous vision Joseph shared. What a marvelous moment in history!
Then Sister Miller shared her sweet talk on Gratidão or Gratitude. It is so important to show our gratitude to our Heavenly Father because then we can see His hand more abundantly in our lives and understand His deep love for us.
We have an investigator, Cleverson, and he is super cool! He has a desire to find truth and light in his life, but he has a lot of unanswered questions and always tells us the bad things that are happening in his life. So we had him write 5 things he was thankful for, and committed him to do this everyday for a week. The next time we visited him after this, he seemed a lot brighter and happier and he said he felt a joy enter his life that was not there before. So awesome!!
The gospel of Jesus Christ is all about hope and faith in our Savior, if we show our gratitude and faith in Him, he will send miracles to help us in our good and bad times. :)
I love missionary work. It is work, but it is so rewarding!
