Oi Família! :)
Hey! I have so much to tell you about this week!
First of all, this week was good yet crazy! Tuesday, we taught Danuzia and Bruno
all the commandments. Sister Howell taught the word of wisdom and I taught the
law of chastity. It was a little awkward but it was good haha. We found out
during the lesson that Danuzia is already married to another guy but they broke
up. She has been living with this guy that we´re teaching now for 16 years. So
she is still legally married to this other guy. It´s kind of complicated. We
told her that she would have to get a divorce and remarry the guy that she´s
living with now. If she wants to get baptized. Without hesitation she said ``No,
I don´t want to get married again!`` We´ll see how that´s gonna go. On the other
hand, we have been talking with Bruno. Since the day I first met him, he has
been talking about wanting to get baptized. He straight up told us ``if I want
to get baptized I need to stop drinking beer?`` Afterwards he said, ``Well, I
need to repent of a few things before I can be baptized.`` It was the coolest
thing ever. I can totally tell that he´s ready to be baptized. Heavenly Father
has helped us so much with this family.
After we were done with the lesson, we had a
really bad thunder storm. The power went out and we were stuck in their house
for 3 hours. It was fun! We got to their house at 5 and left around 8ish to go
back to our mini house. There were trees in the streets. Like full grown trees.
We later found out that a tornado was near by. But everyone was okay. The same
thing happened on Wednesday but we were with Claudia and Sabrina. The power was
out and everything. We left from the lesson early to go home and it was getting
late. It took us a hour and a half to get home because of the thunderstorm. It
was raining so much that the streets were flooded. It was crazy!
Saturday and Sunday we had our stake conference.
It was really good! Presidente Perrotti, Sister Perrotti, our ward mission
leader, and another member from our ward spoke. All the talks were about
missionary work.
This Friday we´re having our multizona with
Presidente Perrotti. We have them every 3 months with at least 1 or 2 other
zones. Everyone has to prepare a lesson on the Atonement and Presidente will
have a hat of all the names of the missionaries. He will randomly pick a
missionary to give the lesson. And they have to give it all by themselves. I´m
hoping that I won´t get picked. I´m crossing my fingers ha-ha.
So that was my week! I can´t believe i´ll have 9
months in the mission. It´s gone by slow and fast. I´m trying not to think about
it. I´m trying to enjoy what I have now. I´m glad to hear everyone is doing
good! Let me know anything big comes up. I love you so much and hope you have a
great week! :)
