Week 62 - April 9, 2018

What a great week! And an incredibly busy one.


The sisters that are working in the ward next close to ours have now moved into our apartment- one is from Peru and just arrived on the mission last week, the other is from Maceio (Brazil). They are both super cool, but sharing one bathroom between 4 sisters that all have to get to bed by 10:30 has been an interesting experience. Also, we had a bunk bed waiting for them in the other room of the apartment, but when they moved in we discovered that the bed frames of both were broken. The mission office told us to go ahead and throw those beds away and that they would send new ones, but the beds didn't fit through the doorway to take them to the trash bins, and there was no way to take them apart.....so we kinda ended up throwing the beds out the window. Fun mission experiences you guys.

That investigator Andriel that I talked about last week went with us to church again this week, and afterwards shared his Easter candy with us :) This kid is so funny, he was telling us about how his grandma attended an Evangelical church that doesn't let women shave their legs, and she prayed so that God would make her leg hair fall off. In telling us the story, Andriel goes, "I don't know everything about God, but I don't really think He works like that." 


Yesterday was fast and testimony meeting, and I heard a very touching testimony from one of the members. She said that this was the first Sunday in a long time that she was able to bear her testimony, because for years and years she hadn't been allowed to because of her personal worthiness. She said that the feeling of being able to really express her feelings about Christ and church for everyone after all this time was the most wonderful, freeing feeling. She really made me think about how I'm sharing my testimony, if I'm really appreciating the privilege that I have to bear it so often during the week. Our testimony is the most precious thing we have, and sharing it with others will help both their's and our's to grow. So while we can, let's share what we know. 
Boa semana por todos vocĂȘs!
