Know the Why

HELLO FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!

What a week. These weeks are passing by so fast, holy moly. We had a lot of success in finding new investigators and helping our current investigators progress!!

Our teaching pool consists of Kelby, Kelvy (funny right, they're brothers), Janielle, and Analice. We found Kelby and Kelvy when we asked to teach a friend of a less-active. He brought us there and they accepted us very well. They accepted a date for the 15th! They are progressing super well, they both loved church yesterday and always ask in their prayers to help them be prepared for their baptism!!

Janielle is a friend of our RC Juliana. She has gone to church a couple of times before but she always used to say no to baptism because she goes to another church. Elder S. Ferreira and I were walking in the street and her crazy mom stops us in the middle of the street and says "Hey, Janielle wants to be baptized in your guy's church. And you guys can try to baptize her sister, too." Me and Elder Ferreira literally skipped to our house in happiness haha. So we went over to Janielle's hosue and marked a date for this Saturday!! Miracles!

Ana Licia was a ex-investigator that we decided to give another try and worked out!! She has members of her family who are of the church as well, (I swear half of the people who live in our area have been baptized.) She is loving the Book of Mormon and is also preparing for the 15th for her baptism!!

So it's official. The Beira Rio Ward has an English Class. And I'm the teacher. I've already gave a couple of classes in Crateús but this class is the real deal. Brother Orlando is helping me out a lot because he's been an English teacher for about 20 years. We had a small turnout for the first official class but everyone loved it! It was a weird sensation to speak so much english haha.

One thing that I'm learning as the time is winding down on my mission is that we have to know the "why". Know the "why" meaning, we know why we're here, why we need to work, and why we have this calling. If we know the why, than the Lord will always show us the "how". If we do our best to show that we our worthy of the Lord's trust, than we can be sure that He will give us the means of how we can accomplish it. So, KNOW THE WHY. 

AMO TODOS DE VOCÊS!!!

Abraço forttteee,
