This week was a good one!
We focused a lot on visiting less actives and recent converts, and it was awesome to see them in our sacrament meeting yesterday. Truly a miracle how the spirit works with and motivates people to make the sacrifice to come to church here.
This has been the main focus of my studying this week - sacrifice.The members here in our mission are a huge example of sacrifice to me. From my previous area, Imperatriz, until the closest temple (Recife) is a 32 hour bus ride. The members spend a week at the temple, and then return. If that isn't sacrifice, I don't know what is. I love how it explains in "True to the Faith", that sacrifice gives us the opportunity to develop our faith - and it's so true!
Miracle of the week: We were working knocking on doors, and met a woman named França. She opened the door with a super tired mean look on her face, and grudgingly let us in... After a few minutes sharing a message with her, she completely changed and opened up. Turns out she was stressed with a family situation, and minutes later we showed up. She just kept on saying how "there are no coincidences!" and how we were sent from God to help her feel better, and more calm. She ended up showing us photos of her family, and her mother, and introducing us to her niece/nephew that live with her. The Spirit is awesome! It's incredible to see how he works with us, and the people we meet.
This week we have the baptism of Millena and Mirella - twins/daughters of a less-active/returning member here in the ward. We had the cutest lesson with them this past week: We talked about the book of mormon (which they read (: yay) and Mirella said the prayer. cutest prayer of my whole life. I love seeing how these two girls have so much faith.
Have a wonderful week everyone! Please pray for Millena and Mirella, that everything can go well with their baptism this week!
