Happy Valentines day!!!
TRANSFERSSSSS: I am staying in Mem Martins (aka the promised
land!) with my baby Sister Aiono! I am soooo happy and excited to stay here in
the best area ever! This transfer is going to be full of miracles and baptisms,
I can just feel it!
I have been called as the new Trainer of the Sister Training
Leaders. Still not sure what that means. Basically I get to help with Baptismal
documents and do divisions with all the STLs. I am superrrr excited and ready
to work! I love divisions so much, getting to talk to and help the Sisters is
the best thing that I can do with my time:) They are my first priority.
This week we went and found Paulo and were teaching him
everything. We had some really powerful lessons with him in the middle of a
park. It was really awesome. But then on Thursday we showed up for our
appointment with him and everything went wrong. I was on a division with Sister
Jarnagin. Paulo started saying all these things that aren’t true, like how we
worship Joseph Smith and don’t believe in the Bible, etc... It was all complete
lies! So we dug a little deeper to find out why he thought those things and it
turns out he found some anti-mormon material on the internet. It shook his
whole testimony and he decided that he didn’t want to meet with us anymore or
go to church with us. We were really hurt. It is so very important to listen to the spirit when searching for truth, not man, the world or the internet. )We testified with all our hearts but
he had already made his decision. When he told us he would be going to other
churches, I told him to go. But that he will never feel what he felt in our
church and when he was talking with us. He said that he will call if he changes
his mind. I pray that God touches his heart and he comes back to us. He is
someone searching for the truth. He is so close.
On Sunday the Elders had a whopping 4 baptisms! It was such a
huge party! So many members came to see this amazing event. It was very
spiritual and awesome. Netinha, (a woman that was baptized), lovesss us and
wanted to take some pictures with the Sisters in front of the church
afterwards. I love her and it was so fun to participate in this special day. We
had a special musical number (as usual:)) and I had to play the piano. It was
awesome. We even made Oreo balls, which all the members freakeedddd out about
and wanted to know how we made them. Hahaha mission secret!
It was superrrr cold this week! Raining all the time! But we had
a good time and had good attitudes the whole time.
I can’t believe that another transfer has ended. It is all going
by so fast. I love my mission with all my heart and I can’t stand the thought
that someday it might end. Everyday is an adventure, an opportunity to invite
someone to be baptized and follow Jesus Christ. We invite people every week to
be baptized. Its only a matter of time until we find the elect!
Love you all!
