Doce Semana

This week was a very busy, crazy but great week!

Here are the highlights:

*Vanderlei, Matheus, and Gabriel got baptized! It was so great! They were so happy, and the spirit was so strong. It is amazing to see just how much their lives have changes and continue to change with the gospel. Their families have all commented on the changes they've seen as well and are all loving seeing them happier. Ah, I love it!!

Oh man I am drawing a blank on specific events that happened... it is all a blur of preparing everyone for baptism, visiting everyone etc. etc. All great things!

But, one last thing I remember. Well, I don't think I'll forget it. We were at a members for lunch on Sunday with a few families. The member has 18 dogs but one of the puppies is sick and Sister Enout and I were watching it for a bit. (Sister Enout has seen the puppy since it was born and has a soft spot for it. So she was a little sad). And anyways, on elf the kids also visiting for lunch came up to see as well and what a sweet kid he is. 8 years old Vinicuis started talking with us and said, "Don't worry, he will be alright and get better. We just have to have faith and pray". Man what a cutie. He then told us a story of when he was sick, but prayed and got better. And then he said the sweetest prayer for the puppy! And continued to talk with us and figure out ways to help.

How amazing and sweet it is to see the pure innocence and goodness of children. It reminded me of the scripture Mosiah 3:19 that says, "becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeing fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his Father".

What a great example children are to us! So the challenge this week is to do as this scripture says and become more like our Savior Jesus Christ by looking to the example of children.

I love the gospel!!

Boa Semana!
