Today is transfers and I will stay in my area! Yay! But Sister Costa is flying home tomorrow because of health problems so we are both sad, but know that the Lord is watching over her and wanted her to serve for this time.
We had a good last week together and were able to teach Rafael and his mother about the importance of baptism. His mom has been against him being baptized until he turns 18 which will be next October, but I felt inspired by the Spirit to share my experience of baptism when I was 8. After, the mom looked at us, paused and said that she accepts him being baptized but not until February which is after the holidays......Rafael was still a little disappointed but we all agreed it was better than in one year haha. It was really special to see how our experiences are meant to help and strengthen others.
Don´t be afraid to share your experiences to others who need to know that they are not alone.
We had a family home evening last night with the family we live with and it was so great to be gathered around and hear them bear their testimonies to one another. What a blessing it is to have the gospel of Jesus Christ to connect us to one another in a sweet spirit of love and joy.
On Saturday, a woman we are teaching and she has been reading the Book of Mormon every morning to start the day in peace, and she was telling us how incredible Nephi was to be so faithful even in his hardships.
God really does love us and wants us to be happy. I think that is what I have seen the most here on the mission, is that God has a great Plan of enduring happiness for us if we are faithful to Him in all that we do.
Look for ways to lift up others this week and keep reading the scriptures and praying as a family! Have a great week!
