Another
great week in the life of a missionary. excuse any typos in advance, this
keyboard is pretty ghetto.
here
we go.
Monday- We
had a super good lesson with one of our investigator families named Eliza and
Duarte. They have two kids, Elton (4), and Sterra (1 month). Eliza comes to
church every week without fail and she is super strong and they have a
baptismal date for April 30th. I hope that they can make it, but something
needs to change with Duarte if they are to be ready for that step. In this
lesson, Eliza asked if we would fast with her in order to help her husband have
more of a desire to accept the church. she testified that she has faith that
the Lord will bless her for her fast. she is super strong!
Tuesday- I
had a division with Elder Roque, a Mozambican that is in my district. We
started exploring a new area of our area and had a couple of strange
experiences! The first one was as we sat down to have a lesson with a new
family. We asked the mom to say the opening prayer, and as we bowed our heads,
a little 6 year old kid walked out of the house, naked as the day he was born,
and reverently said, Let us all bow our heads and close our eyes. HAHA!!! I
would have died laughing but the prayer had already started! So that was
hilarious.
The
other weird experience was when we started knocking doors and began talking to
a woman at her house. When I asked for her name she said that he name was
Raelee. Whoa! I hadn't heard Sister Kinnaman's first name in forever! Nor have
I ever met anyone else with that first name! Who would have thought that I'd
meet one here on the other side of the world!
I've
got to go now, but very quickly,
This
week we killed a chicken, taught English, had zone conference, had stake
conference, and I wish that I had more time to explain all of my super
spiritual experiences that I had this week. I'll do my best next week to write
more. I love this work and I know that God lives.
Until
next week.
