Ok, seriously this week had some MAJOR miracles and its lucky I didn't burst from happiness!
Lots of good things but the major points:
Sister Knudsen and I started teaching English! We thought only 5is people would show up but there were more than 20!! It was super awesome! We are using the church program English Connect, and its great! Many people are excited to learn, and I managed well enough with the help of Sister Knudsen.
Sister Enout and I traveled to Sao Paulo to the mission office for a meeting with the other leaders, and when we returned, we came back with one more sister! We are back to 4 sisters again and switched it up a bit. The new sister is Sister Barradas from Brazil. She is waiting for her visa to go to her mission in the Dominican Republic and is with us until then. So now I am training Sister Knudsen and Sister Enout is training Sister Barrados.
-We had an amazing amazing, amazing experience with our investigators, Diogo, Gabriel, and Matheus. We have been teaching them pretty much every day, and they are just amazing people. They are friends of Ricardo. We had some great lessons with them, and they have been reading hte book of mormon every day, and loving it. On saturday night, we challenged them to pray about whether or not they need to be baptized...then the next day was sunday, and we had stake conference.
(insert: we luckily had a bus rented to take the people here to get there because the stake center is about 2ish hours away. And another miracle was that we had 8 of our investigators come as well! ahhh pure joy. They all loved it and it was super awesome.)
Ok back to D, G, and M. Before we left that morning, G and M told us that the night before, they took us up on our challenge to know for themselves. Matheus told us he prayed, then opened up the book of mormon to a random page. And the verse he opened on was the last verse of Alma 5 (read it peeps haha). And then GAbriel said, ok lets see if this is for me too. He prayed as well, then opened up the book of mormon randomly. ANd guess what he opene too!! THE SAME EXACT PAGE AND VERSE! ahhhhh the church is true. They loved conference, and the talks we so perfect. they were nodding the whole time in agreement. And then to make it more amazing, we taught them that night as well. And it was a super power filled lesson. They were all super excited to say something to us at the end....They said that they all recieved answers and would be baptized!!!! Ahhhh man, so so neat. And not only that, but Gabriel and Matheus are super interested in missions, and Gabriel already said he wants to serve. holy cow. I think I nearlly burst from happiness many times yesterday.
I know that we all can receive answers to our prayers, and God hears every single one. I am filled with so much joy and happiness seeing the happiness the gospel brings into these peoples lives. The church is true.
