Time is flying by here in
Cristalina! I’ve been here long enough that’s it has gotten to the point where
I see so many people every day and we are talking to so many people that I see
so many familiar faces, but can’t remember for the life of me where I know them
from, ha! But this past week was a very good week!
On Monday we traveled to stay the
night with the Sisters in Santa Maria and Tuesday morning we had our interviews
with President Lundgren and it went really well! We were able to talk about
everything that is going on here in Cristalina and we were able to help him get
a better idea of the work and how our group is doing. It was also nice to meet
everyone in my zone for the first and last time, ha.
But this week was full of dropping
people and finding new people to teach. And yesterday we had a nice surprise!
So a couple of weeks ago, me and Sister Costancio were walking to an
appointment when a man walked by and asked us who we were. I love it when
people do this! So we talked to him for a bit and explained to him. So we set
up an appointment to return and teach him. So that day arrived and he wasn’t
home. So then a couple of days later we tried again and ended up finding his
sister who said she has been wanting to change religions. So we thought,
perfect!!! So we started teaching her. But then yesterday in Church the man,
whose name is Denis, showed up in church, not his sister. So we visited him
last night and it was perfect! He explained to us that for a while he has been
visiting a lot of churches but just hasn’t felt right in any of them. But in
our church he felt so good and was surprised when our meetings ended, ha. So we
taught him the first lesson last night and invited him to be baptized. He
accepted and will be baptized on the 20th!!! We are extremely excited!! But I’m
trying not to get my hopes up, ha. So we will be visiting him a lot and helping
him a lot to stay firm :)
Saturday night we did an activity
with our group and it was so good! Sister Costancio and I planned the activity
of the Tree of Life. It started out kind of as a mess because no one was
listening to the Holy Ghost and all of our members where following the voices
of the world ha. But in the end they made it all to the tree and ate the fruit
which was just chocolate. But it was really good to help them all understand
the meaning of everything and how important our lives are!
Well that’s about it for this week!
I hope you all have had a wonderful week and I hope that you all have a fabulous
week this week! Remember to always read the scriptures and say your prayers!
Love you all!
Love,
Sister Steadman
