Hi Family,
I have very little time right now, we have to leave
because we´re going to Alter do Chão. look it up on the internet it´s
cool demais. My week was good. We had a baptism and I think we´ll have
one this next week. I got some cool pics, here´s one.
Q&A 1. I heard but don´t know much about it. 2. Just a little bit
when someone is watching TV when we enter their house.3. No packages,
maybe this next week. 4. Jambo! Jambo is too good. Açai not so much it´s
very expensive and few people are buying right
now. 4. Yes, I´m fine. The pic is me on a mountain close to our house.
Sorry that I can´t say more but we´re all in a rush here, I gots to go!
But I love you and miss you all. Have a great week.
Love Elder R. Williams
Hi family, again!
The other missionary dupla that I live with decided to use
computers again to send e-mail. I guess they weren´t able to write to
their families, only to the mish pres so I guess they´re allowing me to write again too. So
my week was good, great to tell the truth but a little complicated,
especially after today. The thing that happened today is a story for
after the mission I think. But this week we did
really well. We were able to teach a lot, getting 23 lessons taught in
the week, when usually it´s hard to get 20. We were preparing Gabí for
baptism. She´s gone to church about 10 times already but she lives with
her step mother and her father spends 25 days
working in the middle of the forest and so stays home for 5 days. We
almost didn´t get authorization to baptize Gabí, only getting it 5 hours
before the baptism starts. Gabí is only 9 years old but she understood
all the lessons very well, which is unusual
because most kids, and even adults here where I´m working, have
difficulty explaining what we just ended explaining. But she was
baptized, chose me to baptize her. There were a few lessons that we gave
during the week that were stressful. People just don´t
understand that if Joseph Smith really was a prophet, there is no other
place or church or cult or sect on earth that can carry out ordenances
of salvation, like baptism. We ended debating 2 times about it this
week, and one person already received an answer
from God, that Joseph Smith really was a prophet. Nossa! complicado
demais! But anyways. At church this week we had 11! i´ll say it again!
11 people visit the church. We had a family of 6, it would be 7 if the
mother wasn´t traveling, come and they all liked
the church a lot. So we´re going to work hard to get them involved with
the church, to feel welcome, and to prepare for baptism. Carla came to
church again and brought her younger sister with her. Carla might be
baptized this week. Pray so that all goes well,
por favor! I would send another pic but I´ve gots to go! Tchau! I love
you all have a great week, until next time!
Love Elder R. Williams
