Well, this week was also awesome. It's just great down here in Bom Jardim. This week we had the baptisms of Ruan and Savio! Let me tell you a bit about them. They are awesome.
Ruan: We found him when he interrupted our lesson and told us that he's been to our church with his cousin Rafael (who baptized him) and he "chose" our church. From there, startled, we started teaching him as well. He was supposed to be baptized last week but his Dad didn't think he was prepared yet.
Soooo, we gave him some challenges to try to be an example in the home and show his Dad just how prepared he is. He led his family in family prayer and told them about what he was learning in the Book of Mormon. Saturday night he came to us and said "Amanha!!! Meu Pai deixou" (Tomorrow!! My Dad let me get baptized!) We were so pumped, we gave him a huge bear hug.
Savio: He is a friend of Lucas who was baptized last week. Lucas came up to us one day and said "My friend wants to get baptized too!!" Startled once again, we went to his house and taught him. He was pretty shy at first but Lucas (9 years old) helped us teach the lessons, helped Savio understand how to pray about Joseph Smith, and told him how awesome of a missionary that he is going to be. It was so cool to see him open up to us and bear his testimony to us on Saturday before his baptism.
Well that's about it for our week!! I'm off to have our District P-Day at a huge soccer field with the boys. Pics next week!!
ABRAÇO FORTE,
Elder Eliason
