Saint Santàna





This week was the week of Saint Santàna.. The grandmother of Jesus.. It was a party that took over the WHOLE citry, I kid you not. They had fireworks and huge concerts until 4 in the morning everyday! Our house is super close to the "center street" where the party was.. So it was imossible to sleep this whole week. But the party stoped! Thank goodness and now i will have a normal sleep schedule. And all the people we are teaching will be at home becuase everyone was at the party! 

This week was a busy week of lots of work!! We found a list of inactive members and have been walking all over the city trying to find and talk to everyone! It was amazing to have the chance to find so many new people to talk to and teach. There are so many inactive members who have family who havent visited the church yet. We found one family, Fransica. She was baptised about 6 years ago and stayed active for about 3 years until she had to start working sundays to put food on the table for her 5 children. She started going to a different church during the week becuse she still wanted to be religous, but one thing lead to another and she stoped going to church sundays. When we passed there Fransica was with her daughter Alyson. We started talking with them and Fransica told us how she was thinking about the church just one day ealier and had the desire to start going back. She told us about how she was thinking about the Plan of Salvation and how she knows A igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos dias is where we have all the true doutrine. 

We also had another expericence super cool. We were walking on the street and this guy came up to us and said "you need to visit my family" we were a little nervous to go with him but the spirit said go so we went. When we got there she introduced us to his wife and three sons. They told us about how their daughter died 3 years ago AND SHE WAS A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH. and how they would always have missionaries over and how they wanted to go to church and visit and learn more. It was a miricle! I am super excited to work with them! :)

Senhor Pedro got the Aronic Preisthood (sorry about my horrible spelling)  He was so happy!! It is awesome watching him and other Recent Converts stay strong in the church and watch their testimonies grow! :)

We are working hard! I am happy! :) I am so thankful for the gospel in my life and for my chance to help other get to know the gospel. I love being a missinoary! :)

Here are some pics of our week! and a view from our house! and senhor pedro! and a rainbow!:)

love you guys, praying for you all always!
