Well, nothing bad happened this week. this week flew byyyyyyy!
Our zone has been having a lot of trouble this transfer, so Presidente flew in some spies! I was sent to Villa Sonia on splits Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! So I missed almost the entire week here in Jardim Celeste! But I returned Friday night and we just hung out at the church and ate pizza that some of the members bought for us! (Even the members missed my presence for 3 days). After the pizza, we went back to our routine of cleaning the baptismal font. Because guess what? It was stopped up again! But this time was still full of the water from the baptism of João! So again, we spent 3 hours emptying the water out with buckets in an assembly line and emptying it into the toilets in the bathroom!
Saturday foi perfeito, perfeito, perfeito (it was perfect, perfect, perfect)!!! The baptism was exactly how she imagined it and that we were wanting it to be. Her entire family came and there were so many people and support from the ward e os membros! She was so scared when it was time for her to enter the font with the bishop that she started to cry. So what do you do when an 8 year old who has never been in a pool or swimming before or even a bathtub starts crying and refusing to enter.. you sit on the ground with her and make her pray to ask her Heavenly Father to take away her fear. And then you sit there and watch her stand up, take the hand of the bishop, and enter into the water.
Sunday, she was confirmed a member de A Igreja De Jesus Cristo Dos Santos Dos Últimos Dias e recebeu o Dom do Espírito Santo pelo bispo. Her dad walked her to the front and the ward was in tears to see him back in the church for the first time in 3 years. The spirit was so incredibly strong once again. After sacrament meeting her mom hugged us in teras thanking us for saving her family and helping them get back on the right path. And this is why I’m serving the mission of The Lord.
Continue praying that everything goes well this week for this Saturday’s batismos!
Have a good week, love y’all!!
