WOW!! É Difícil!!

  Hey!

Well, this week was mais ou... Some pretty sweet stuff happened though so I can’t really complain. Time is going by so fast and it is General Conference next week!!! I’m pretty pumped. It’s gonna be awesome!! 

So, C was baptized but it wasn’t quite as easy as we had thought. Around Wednesday, she started having doubts as to whether she could be baptized or not. Her work, her dad, school... nothing that was actually going to keep her from being baptized. We talked to her dad on Wednesday and he had no problem with her being baptized. Then we got to teach her on Thursday, and she had even more doubts!! It all came down to fear of change so we all kneeled down and she prayed to know if she should be baptized or not. After awhile, she got her answer and after that everything just ran smoothly. She was baptized and confirmed and is super happy now. It was a neat experience and once again, we really didn’t do anything to help her. If she hadn’t prayed and received a confirmation that she needed to be baptized, nothing we could have said or done would have changed her mind. We were blessed with another miracle and another one of Heavenly Father’s children has entered into the path.

We had nine baptisms as a zone this weekend, and 7 in our ward. Sacrament meeting started late, then we had a bunch of Stake business and then 7 confirmations. The actual sacrament didn’t start until roughly 1:45 and the bishop cut church short. Kind of weird but it was still really cool. Two of the people baptized were from a family in the other elder’s area and they have been waiting forever to get baptized. They were finally married on Friday and were baptized on Saturday.

Other than that, we really didn’t teach that much this week. I don’t know what exactly happened but I just had the slowest week of teaching my entire mission. We’re working on finding new people and on preparing for this wedding next week. But, things are looking up. Elder B, the Portuguese missionary in our zone, fed us some sort of Portuguese dish this weekend. It was pretty much just a huge chunk of meat, a couple pieces of bread and some sort of special sauce. It was good but way too much meat. It didn’t feel the best afterwards. I don’t know what else to write really... I hope everything goes well this week and talk to you all next week
