Hey! Well this week was great and really went by fast. I
really am not believing how fast time is going by. This week started off great
with a Family Home Evening in the house of our recent-convert family. Junior
and Elizangela hosted a Family Home Evening and invited lots of people. One of
the families we are teaching (Gonzaga, Francisca, Tainá, and Ruan) were there
and they loved it. We also had the opportunity Tuesday night to teach our
couple (Michael and Lidiane) with a member from the Stake High Council who is
in charge of missionary work. He is awesome and really helped us out a ton! He
really helped Michael understand the importance of receiving an answer from God
that this is the true church on the earth. The next day we returned and Michael
explained how the night before he had received an answer and told us that he
now knew that this was the true church. We marked a baptismal date with them
both and we are all way excited. They also had their wedding on Friday which
was awesome too!
On Wednesday after our weekly zone meeting I stayed in my
area with a brand new missionary in the mission from Bolivia, Elder Torrico. It
was great to spend the day with him teaching and getting to know him a little
more and see how he is enjoying the mission. I always love having the
opportunity (usually twice a week) to do a companion exchange with a missionary
in my zone. It´s so great to get to know so many missionaries and see how we
can all learn from each other.
The rest of the week was filled with teaching and finding
people. The members are really helping us out here and we have a few that spend
almost the entire day teaching with us, which is awesome!
Sunday was the best because Ruan was baptized! Ruan is the
youngest child of Gonzaga and Francisca and brother of Tainá who was baptized
last week. We have been teaching this family for quite awhile and it was so
awesome to see how excited Ruan was and his two parents. They truly are a great
family! They love the church and Gonzaga and Francisca have a strong desire to
be baptized and we are working with them to work out a few issues. Sunday night
we had a devotional in our ward with Fernando Araújo, who was the first
missionary from this state to serve for the church and it was awesome!
Anyway, it was a great week. And it just seems that each
week gets better as the time goes by. I hope you all have a great week!
Until next week.
Love,
Elder Helvey
