Staying in Cristalina

Well today was transfers but luckily, I will be staying here with Sister De Paula!!!!! We are extremely excited. :)

This week was pretty good! We were able to find some more investigators, and finally get some to progress a little more! This week we had our first relief society activity and it was really good! It’s fun to finally have enough people to do these activities. :)

We met two young girls a couple of weeks ago, Jessica and Bruna, and this week we were finally able to sit down with them and teach them! They had been coming to all of our activities, and they even came to church! So we were able to teach the about the Book of Mormon and the plan of salvation and it was so good!! When we taught them about the Book of Mormon they were both so excited to start reading it! Then they were amazed with the Plan of Salvation. It was so cool to see them finally have answers to some of their questions and truly understand this plan. I love teaching the plan of salvation! We invited them to be baptized and they both accepted! So now we just need to talk to their parents...... wish us luck, ha!

This week I was also able to work a lot with some of our recent converts; Gilton who was baptized about 3 weeks ago and Aline who was baptized before I arrived. Gilton told me a little more about his life before he got to know the church and it’s truly amazing how the lord works. He’s got a plan for every single one of us and loves us so much! With Aline she got called as the seminary teacher and she is extremely shy! So we’ve been working a lot with her on talking in front of people and this week the classes start! So we are really excited to see how she does. :)

One funny thing for this week - we were looking for the house of an investigator of the elders and were in an area that we didn’t know yet. We were searching for a house that was more out in the farms. So we came to a strip of houses with a bunch of chickens in the front and a lamb. Ha, this lamb really liked Sister de Paula but she wasn’t to fond of him, ha. So he chased us around for a bit and kept bugging Sister de Paula ha. In the end, we found the house and everything was good. :)

Have a fabulous week everyone!!
