yep... I Got the package with all the christmas goodies. I got it on friday and i´ve already eaten probably more than half of the candy. Yes i´ve been sharing but i´ve eaten the most of it. =)
So its great to hear that everyones well. hope all goes well in india again. let me add to the list of things that you need to bring back from india. =) I would like a new car, perhaps a motor cycle and a couple iPads too. I think that will be all for now. =) haha!
so things have been going well in the area of São miguel. I can say that i´m happy and healthy. like always! we had a couple cool new investigators this week. so let me tell the story of how we found him... and also her. (two different stories)
So when we first came to the area we found a recent convert and he was just having a little bit of trouble coming to church. his name is Sandro. we starting meeting with him just once a week and giving him the after baptism lessons. he starts turning into a self proclaimed missionary. which was cool. he gave us a name of one of his friends that he found while talking with people about the gospel. he told us to go to Alexandres house. so we went their and alexandre is way cool. he feels very strongly that he needs more god in his life. we gave him two lessons throughout the week and he was way firm on going to church. sadly when sunday came around he didnt show up. we passed by after church and found that the door was locked shut. (the just use padlocks here) he told us that his mom left and locked the door. so for the whole day he was trapped inside his house. I chuckled a little bit but understood why he couldnt go to church.
also we had another cool story happen this week too. we where knocking doors early in the week and found a woman who said she wanted to talk but was really busy at the moment. (usually this means they just want us to go away) so we marked a day that we could pass by later in the week and left. later we passed by and we told her about the restoration. told her how it was possible that she could know something with absolute certainty. and that is which church is true. she became slightly quite but she was paying attention. so my companion starts doing the invitations. (pray, read, church, baptism) and when he tells her about baptism she started to cry. (these where the first tears of joy i´ve seen on my mission) she told us that she wanted to be baptized. sadly she was leaving for the weekend but she wanted us to return the next week. =) its always great to find good stories to tell during the week.
but hey this is about all i got for now. I´m super happy that things are going well at home. good luck with the calling kev! hope the testing goes well too mom! anyway i´m off to conquer the world! till next week! buh bye now!
