Olá!!
Well this week was great as I was able to re-read my notes from President Nelson and was really able to study more about the personal ministry of our Savior, Jesus Christ here in the Americas in 3 Nephi.
Then, last night the Relief Society had a mini devotional for our ward on how we can better minister to those around us like Christ did. One of the counselors, Irmã Vilma, spoke on the importance of really feeling a sincere, godly love for our brothers and sisters and to actually cry with them, and to rejoice and be happy with them. Being a follower of Christ is not an easy road, but it is the only road we can take to be purely happy for all eternity with our lovely families.
I love how the apostle Paul wrote so much about love and charity in 1 Corinthians and Romans. I encourage each of you to read his counsels and words that he wrote as he personally witnessed what the Savior demonstrated as how we should love and serve our fellow man. It´s fantastic stuff :)
We do a little bit of come follow me with a family for family home evening night and there is always good stuff to learn and share with one another.
This week we were walking down the street looking for a particular address, but couldn't find it and we felt like we should just keep walking, and at one moment we stopped to look at the address again and a man and his son were at their door fixing the lock and he called out ´´hi sisters´´ and it turned out he is in the bishopric in the ward next to us and is new to the church and his son is a none member and wants to take the lessons, so we will go back to visit him and his wife and 2 little girls. It was a neat experience to feel the spirit pushing us to continue down the street and that he called out to us.
We have several close to baptism, we are very excited and know that the Lord has a plan for each of them! Sister Costa and I have been having the great opportunity to help teach these wonderful people in our area and we are so happy here! Sabrina and Carlos have a date to get married in 2 months, Adelia and Eri are working on getting married too so that they can be baptized, and Rafael has been continuing to come to seminary and building up his testimony about our Master, Christ.
On Thursday we helped our Relief Society president make a Brazilian dessert called ´´Pão de mel´´ or ´´bread of honey´´ (but really it is like a chocolate muffin filled with a honey filling, it is super tasty) for a few birthday party's she was in charge of. We had fun and ate a little too much chocolate.....hahhaha.
Keep reading the Book of Mormon! Keep being awesome!
love, Sister Giles
