We went proselyting on Saturday!! Basically we drove to a famous/popular street in São Paulo called Avenida Paulista, then got dropped off to go talk to people for a couple hours and share a little message about the gospel, and see if they are interested in learning more! Not going to lie, i was a little nervous at first, but it was so great! Sister Shepherd and I had a goal to get at least 3 contacts. So we just started talking to people! They are so kind! If they didn't want to talk to us, they would just swerve away and we found someone else to talk to. We talked to some great people and had some awesome conversations. By the time we had 20 min left, we had one contact, so we prayed again to be able to hit our goal of 3. Then, right after, we talked to this super sweet couple and got their contacts! And just like that we hit our goal! And we even got 1 more before we had to be back to the bus! It was such an awesome experience and just shows that with the help of the Lord, anything is possible. It made me love the people so much already and I can't wait to go to O Campo!
We had a great devotioal with Presidente Martins Silva (prez of the CTM) about how we can learn more through the Holy Ghost. It was awesome and it is so cool that we can be taught so much through the scriptures through the Holy Ghost if we just look and ask.
