This week was so EXHAUSTING!!! But honestly every week is. I just wanted to start off to say that we literally rocked this week.. in the most humble way I can put it.
Joao’s baptism was perfect. LITERALLY PERFECT. The entire room was in silence and tears as Pastor pulled him out of the water. I don’t think anyone even breathed during that moment. The spirit was so incredibly strong and powerful, Joao’s cried in the baptismal font with Pastor and it was like the world just stopped. Time stopped. No one breathed, talked, nothing.. not even the primary class we had.
(funny note: we went to the church early in the morning to make sure everything was good, found out the baptismal font was stopped up because it hadn’t been used in quite some time. spent 2 hours trying to unclog it, but instead we just filled buckets up with the water and dumped the water into the bathroom sinks. When we were almost done, we prayed that everything would work out. Then we continues breaking our backs trying to empty the water. We had an idea to test the water to see if that even worked, so we turned on the water to fill it up and what do you know.. the water starting draining back to normal and all was well.)
On top of that, we had 18 investigators come to church yesterday! One will be baptized Saturday and I’m even more excited than ever before! She’s is absolutely the cutest!!
Our family that we’ve been focusing on has been progressing fastly. They are all set to be baptized on the 26th! Their parents can’t be baptized yet because they aren’t legally married. The biggest, most annoying thing about Brasil. No one is legally married, which makes our work difficult. But on the bright side, we’re working on their wedding as well!!
The members in this ward are amazing. I’m so in love with this area and all the people here! I’m actually just in love with the mission and our work. Transfers are this coming Sunday, but I’m almost positive President Del Guerso will leave us alone here because of our success and feedback from the ward. I really hope so!!
So I studied a lot this week about missionaries. We are literally representatives of Christ here. We were called to take care of the area that we are in. Jardim Celeste, Sister Oliveira and I were called by The Lord in revelation give to our mission president to be the hands of Christ here and take care of every person living in our boundaries. To act as if we were Christ Himself acting, and to respond as if it were Christ Himself responding. What an honor and what a responsibility.
As we’re thriving in success right now, we’re remaining humble. We didn’t do anything here, the Lord did it all. We know that. We know we are nothing and we know that in all we do, we need Him. I’ve learned to fully rely on The Lord with all my heart and strength. And with that, I am made strong.
