Alô ao todo mundo!!
Another week has come and gone. We had a blast with
miracles! First off on Monday I brought my poor companion to the Mission Home
and she died. Hehe. The next day I went with some other sisters to go get our
new companions. I'm serving with Sister dos Santos now and she's awesome. She's
from Porto so I'll finally be learning how to speak Portuguese!! Haha. She
loves to laugh and have fun and has a super strong testimony.
On Wednesday we went to a Devotional with Elder Owen and
Elder Durrant. It was awesome! We learned a lot and we were excited to try new
contacting and teaching techniques. During the week we starting contacting people
using the new phrase they suggested which is: "Would you be willing to
hear a brief message about ....." There was one day when we were walking
towards the chapel and I looked to the side and I saw a woman sitting in the
passenger seat of a parked car. She was older, about 50, and it looked like she
was sleeping. I had the thought to go talk to her but thought, no she's sleeping.
Then I was like.. What the heck am I doing?! Don't ignore spiritual
promptings!! So I stopped in my tracks and ran back to tap on the glass. I told
her that we were doing a project to help people have more hope. She gave a
smile smile and declined. I could tell that something was up so I asked her
what was going on and she gave me a surprised look. Then told us that she had
been diagnosed with lung cancer. I gave her card of Christ and she offered to
let us come by and talk to her for a bit. #MIRACLES
On Sunday my companion and I were emergency speakers lol. It
happens more often than you think... But we talked about prayer and scriptures.
I realized that I while I was speaking you could see exactly who was reading
and praying. You could see it in their faces... It made me think a little bit
about our personal preparation for the Second Coming. Recently and ever since
Adam the prophets and apostles have asked us over and over to have daily
scripture study and to always have a prayer in the heart.
Have a good week!
