I am feeling so much FOGO (fire) for the
work and for the Lord!!! This message is rolling through the earth like a
storm and I am so grateful to be a part of it!!! President is really
training us and pushing us all to be better. To step it up and be
leaders- because with all the new missionaries coming in we all need to be
leaders- we will all pretty much be trainers and leaders! President gave
us a challenge to memorize all the points (and invites) of the lessons and a
scripture with each one before the end of March. We have already started
and I have already seen a big difference in the work! We are blessed when
we listen and act on the words of our leaders.
Cristina was called to be in the Primary presidency!!! woohoo!!! And Catarina bore her first testimony yesterday during Sacrament meeting and it was so sweet! They are doing soo well!!! I am SO happy!!! It has been such a privilege being a part of their conversion. I think back of when we first spoke with Cristina- she was truly depressed and crying and had no light in her eyes. Now she smiles and laughs all the time and is so happy!!! The gospel changes people- the atonement changes people. I am so grateful to be able to witness this and be an instrument in the hands of the Lord! I have a testimony of simply asking. The Lord is so ready to bless us with answers and other things we need if we just ASK specifically. We have been asking specifically to find families and receive references and we have been praying very specifically for our investigators and WOW. miracles miracles miracles. A menos ativo and a couple of investigators said they wouldn´t come to church if it was raining. oh brother. so what did we do? We prayed for there not to be rain and guess what? blue skies all day!!! That has happened a couple of times for me on my mission- we prayed the rain would stop and it did. I know that Christ truly created this earth and commands it. And we have the power to call down the powers of heaven in our favor with this calling. I am so grateful to be working together on the same team with the Lord. :) This week I have been reading a lot ABOUT and in the Book of Mormon and have once again felt how true and powerful it is. And I am again, focusing all my teaching and contacting with the Book of Mormon and the Restoration- because that is our unique message to the world and I have seen a huge difference in the work! The Book of Mormon is the key. It is either true or false. There is no grey area. And I testify that it is TRUE. And therefore Joseph was a Prophet of God and this is he true church of Jesus Christ on the earth. I know this without a doubt. I am so grateful to be here. We are teaching this man named João- the guy that tells everyone how hard I am- but in a funny, teasing way- we have a fun relationship, every time I call him to ask if he read the Book of Mormon yet that day he laughs his head off. I don´t know why. Anyways, he is just eating the gospel up. He is reading the BoM each day- I am making sure of that- it is the key to his conversion- but he still doesn´t think he knows it is true. Pray for him and Amarildo- that he will stop drinking and smoking, and pray for us to find the elect!! LOVEYOU ALL!!!! HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!!
