Note: We had such a great visit with sister Coleman on Mother’s Day. She is genuinely joyful and focused on her service. She is doing well, and living her mission. She also got to attend the temple on Monday, which is why her update is late. LOVE THIS GIRL!!
What a crazy good week!!! First, we had the baptism of Dhyeron (13) and Sofia (8), a brother and sister who are just the darn cutest. Dhyeron was a street contact, and when the sisters went to his house, they found out that he already knew about the Book of Mormon because his dad was a member that had been inactive for a long time. And that very next Sunday, Dhyeron and Sofia showed up at church with their dad and grandma (also an inative member), all because Dhyeron asked them all to go with him. Ahhh, eleito!!
And this last week when we were going over the baptismal questions with him, we asked him about the law of chastity, and he pulls out a mini "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet from his pocket (that someone must have given him at church) and turns immediately to the right page to be able to answer. Like, what, this kid is gonna be an amazing member. And future missionary. And probably bishop or mission president or something too.
Also, on the night of the baptism, we found out that all the child-sized baptismal jumpsuit things (I don't remember what we call them in English) were dirty, so Sofia ended up having to use an adult size and just roll up the pant legs a whole lot. Poor thing. But she just thought it was funny. And after the baptism, both of them were saying, "I feel so light! And clean. What a blessing Baptism is.
Then, on Sunday, the recent converts and investigators that we went to wake up and take to church took awhile toget ready, so we were gonna be late for church, so we had to call for an emergency ride from a member. Luckily this member is amazing and wonderfully willing to help us, because it was only one car, and like 6 people to bring to church (not including us two). So that was an experience, but we all got to church, which is the important thing :)
Finally, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I hope all the mothers out there remember how much power and importance and influence you have in the lives of others and in the plan of our Heavenly Father. And I hope the rest of you remembered to thank your moms for everything they do for you. (Speaking of which: thanks Mom! I love you! You're amazing!)
Boa semana por todos vocês! Até mais!
Sister Coleman
