hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
this week was great! Lots of little adventures happened!
So
this week we got money 3 times from the Sisters in the ward, instead of
eating lunch at their house and to be honest, I was secretely really
happy because I love cooking! Sister Coutinho and I made this huge
American breakfast feast for lunch one day and it was the most glorious
thing ever. We had buiscuts, cheesy eggs, hashbrowns, and a huge fruit
salad. OH my yum! I´ll send a pic!
Last night we made Pao de Queijo at Irma Nena´s house with Maydza and it was soooo good! (sorry I didn´t take a pic)
Today
we´re going to eat lunch with a recent convert named, Heitor! He has an
incredible story and every time we´re with him we learn so much! I´m
excited :D
What
else? I made a division with Sister Albertoni! SO fun! We´re from the
same group and have previously served in the same district, so it was
super fun having a division with her! We saw a lot of miracles that day
:) One of which was that our investigator, Maydza, left home! wait, why
is that a miracle?
So
Maydza lives with her boyfriend and 2 small kids. And for her to be
baptized, she has to get married or move out. She doesn´t want to marry
him, so the other option is that she has to move out. Sister Coutinho
and I found her our first week here! She is one of those "golden
investigators." She´s basically a member, without being baptized. But
Sister Albertoni and I passed by and Emerson, her bf, said she moved
out. And I was SO excited! We thought she might have gone to her mom´s
house. My companion and I had fasted with her about this decision and we
were so happy that the Lord answered our prayers and fasting so fast!
The next day when Sister Coutinho and I decided to stop by and see if
her sons were good and everything Maydza was there! We were very
surprised and very dissapointed. But we learned that she had brought a
blanket with her and was planning on sleeping in the street because she
didn´t want to live at her mom´s. Can you believe that determination to
live God´s commandments??? The only reason she went back was because
of her son´s. But right now we are looking for a place for her to live.
But I know God will continue to answer our prayers for her to be
baptized!
Yesterday was Stake Conference here
in Paranaguá and President Aidukaidis was there! He told us of how the
Lord asks us to simply obey his commandments. He said, "I have never
seen anyone in my life who has kept the commandments and has not
prospered."
Can yall imagine how many people a
General Authority knows?? (He travels throughout the world to help the
church) A LOT. ANd he´s never seen anyone who hasn´t prospered, who
keeps the commandments.
When I heard that I
thougth about Maydza. I felt that I needed to tell you all this story!
I know our Heavenly Father expects us, AND wants us to keep His
commandments- t´s because He loves us, and He wants us to prosper here
on earth.
"..if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you." Mosiah 2:22
"If ye shall keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love." John 15:10
"..I
would desire that ye sould consider on the blessed and happy state of
those that keep the commandments of God." Mosiah 2:41
It´s as simple as this :)
Hope you all have a LOVELY week ❤
