Hello All!
What a wonderful week!
First off, Congradulations to my Brother T.J. for his college graduation last week! #AllGrownUp!
Second off, LAst week was truly a week of miracles here in Zona Pacajus! Elder Mortensen and I had Leadership Council on Tuesday, then we had to go back to Fortaleza on Wednesday for Zone Conference, then back once more Friday Morning to do Baptisimal Interviews for a District Leader in our Zone, so one strong theme as always for the week was tiredness, but on the mission if you arent tired from all the work and daily grind you arent doing it right! The challenge was how to manage to get all the work done in our Area for the week while losing 2 and a half days of work! But knowing that the Lord would provide a way, we managed and were truly blessed with the results!
Yesterday Wesley was baptised, and Gustavo received the Holy Ghost! These are the two biggest highlights of the day. The second biggest is we had 3 Families visit church Yesterday who are serious investigators! One of these Families was Wesley´s family. Wesley´s brother and sister were already recent converts before I arrived here, and Elder Mortensen said that their Parents had no interest whatsoever in the Gospel. But we optamisticly went to try and teach them and either they aparently had a miraculous change of heart! Starting with the first day we started teaching them they seem to litterally change in the moment after learning about every principal of the gosel. We are helping them get married on the 26th of this month, but they are more excited about their baptisms that will happen right after the wedding! A true Miracle!
Also, when I arrived in Pacajus, our Zone was not baptising at all! In some of my last letters I already mentioned that actually. That is why this last week was such a wonderful one! Our Zone had 7 people get baptised and 8 People get confirmed, and our Stake attendance went up by about 60 People!! Just shows how eager God is to pour out Blessings upon his Children!
Love you all, hope you have a good week! And happy Mothers day to all the Moms out there!
