Oi!
Everything is good here! Nothing too
exciting happened this past week. Just lots of learning and teaching. We now
teach two investigators, our two teachers. We have each instructor for 3 hours
a day and in those 3 hours we go and teach them for 30 minutes. Sometimes they
tell us what to teach but most of the time we just teach them one of the
lessons. Monday wasn't a good teaching day for me. In our first lesson, we
taught Irma Bueno and she is a very good investigator! She asks some really
tough questions which is good for us. But when she was talking, I had
absolutely no idea what she was saying. Then my companions would answer her
back and I just sat there. I had no idea what anyone was saying. It was rough. But
our lesson after that went a lot better!! I was able to understand and I
answered Irma Barros questions and said a lot. I felt super proud of myself!!
In our devotional on Tuesday night
president Swensen talked to us. He received a letter from the first presidency
and said we had received modern revelation. They decided to change the way we
teach. So now we have to teach lessons 1 through 5 before they get baptized, 1
through 5 again, after they are baptized and then stay in touch with them for 3
to 4 months after they become members. The United States has the highest
rate for baptisms and Brazil is second. But in Brazil, only four percent stay
active. So I think by changing this, those numbers will go up a lot. I’m excited
for it!!
This week I’ve been studying a lot
about the Holy Ghost and what a blessing it has been! The spirit has been so
strong this past week and I can really see the lord’s hand in my everyday life.
I can feel his love for me at all times.
I know our heavenly father loves
each one of us and knows us personally. More than that, he actually likes us.
All we need to does put all of our faith and trust in him and our savior. By
doing so, we will be blessed more than we can imagine. When life gets hard,
turn to your father in heaven, put all your faith in him and he will take care
of you. Just do your best and he will take care of the rest
Mosiah 7:33
I love you all and hope you’re all
doing well. Have a fabulous week!!
