Invite Your Friends to Dinner with the Missionaries

-
Well this week we had an awesome experience with a member being a missionary! So Irmã Cátia is super awesome and has a daughter on the mission in Fortaleza. She invited 4 people from the salon she goes to to eat lunch with us. She made meat with potatoes for me (😛) and after we were able to share the message of the Restoration with them. I think it was probably the most spiritual lesson of my mission. It went super smoothly and i think it blew them away. Two of the ladies got super emotional talking about the affect this message could have on their families. Irmã Cátia gave a super strong testimony in the end as well. Only one lives in our area, but we made sure to pass on these referrals of gold. What a special opportunity it is when we share the gospel of Jesus Christ with our friends. I know it will be something I will be much better at when I get home. I challenge you guys to do something simple and just invite some friends to dinner with the missionaries and share your testimony with them. 

Well João's dad officially said no to his baptim this week. It was pretty sad with the desire he has, but still a seed planted and a way cool experience. We were able to use Pamela and Rafael to be our missionaries with us! We will also do a service project soon with Pamela and Rafael to help build a roof over the 3rd room of their house! Other than that we met a lot of cool people this week that we look to make progress with this week. Our goal is to bring 6 new people to church this week! 

As I reread the conference talks from last conference i came across GOLD this morning in my studies. Larry Y. Wilson talked about a young man who used the power of prayer to be constantly guided by the spirit in a storm. He said, "The arrival of a typhoon is no time to dust off the gift of the Holy Ghost and figure out how to use it. This young man was clearly following a pattern he had used many times before, including as a full-time missionary. We need the Holy Spirit as our guide in calm waters so His voice will be unmistakable to us in the fiercest storm" I am striving to make personal revelation and the Holy Ghost a daily thing so I can continue to apply it for my whole life. I invite y'all to do the same and see the blessing it is in your life!

Have a good week and dont forget to cheer on Brazil this week!😜 #GOINGFORSIX

Holy cow this week was super super good. Me and my new comp elder Aguiar worked our butts off this week and we saw it pay off. I watched as we worked hard and left nothing behind, the Lord took away any of my problems or worries. This Sunday in church I was able to see it all come together. We brought a 25 old or so guy named Junior to church. He seemed to be progressing well during the week. During the sacrament, I said a little prayer and asked more than anything that he could feel the spirit during this meeting. About   10 minutes later   as one of the speakers was talking, he leaned over to me and said 3 words i dont think ill ever forget for the rest of my life. He simply said "Eu quero isto." or "I want this." I was absolutely blown away. He told me that whatever it was in this church that he had felt, he wanted it. He wanted to be baptized and study the Book of Mormon every day. I was sitting there trying to act tough for him, trying to hide th...

Knocking on doors and getting cussed out...

so this week was a gooood one really. We worked so hard with the little time we have and we were seriously blessed for that. We are already seeing lots of miracles happening in our area. For example, 2 people that werent even expecting just showed up to church on Sunday! On Saturday, we were knocking a few doors close to the church and one guy looked out his window pretty mad and i left the best invite i could with him. Then he told me that i woke him up and started cussing me out. Long story short, it didnt go too well with him, but we found plenty of other elects on our search.  On Saturday night we were getting soaked by the rain and it was pretty miserable, but we pushed through it and went to visit a girl from our English class. Her name is Vitória and she is so cool. I've never seen anyone with so much desire to serve the Lord than she has. She knows the Bible super well and we were able to teach her a lessson full of the spirit. She asked us right away how the proces...

Big News!

Ok fam so its been kinda a crazy week. This past week President called me to be the new financial secretary of the mission. So pretty much I will take care of all the finances of the missionaries, of President/SIster Ribeiro, and of the materials, transport, etc. of the mission.  It was kinda a big surprise cause usually you stay a good 8 months as a financial secretary, so i thought i had already passed my shot. I always wanted to be the financial secretary at the beginning of my mission. I didnt want it assss much towards the end, but im still super excited to start something new.  So my Pdays will now be on Wednesdays! So this Wednesday I will be able to explain a little bit more. And Im pretty sure I'll finish my mission in the office as a secretary. So it will always be on Wednesday from now on. I I have mixed feelings about it all cause there are pros and cons. I guess the 2 things I was kinda bummed about is the fact that I will have less time to work now. We stay i...
