Bem-vindo a mais um email do famoso Elder Allen. Não, brincadeira. Com certeza eu não sou famoso e também ninguém espera tanto para meus emails.
This week was absolutely amazing and the most tiring week of my mission for sure.
Monday (April 15th, 2019)
I
am going to be 100% honest because of 2 Nephi 9:34. I dont remember
anything that happened on P-Day. That is how incredibly crazy this week
has been.
Tuesday (April 16th, 2019)
Today
we decided to do a lot of contacts because we have been having a real
struggle finding new people. Actually, we have been struggling with
finding people who want to keep commitments but we knew that the Lord
was preparing people in our city so we needed to go looking for them. We
were blessed to find a lot of new people and especially a few people who
had already been to church before. It was a really tiring but a really
good day.
Wednesday (April 17th, 2019)
Today
we stopped at a recent converts house to try to help her and her aforementioned son. He actually has come to church the past couple of
weeks and we are excited to see him trying really hard. We discovered
that while he was drunk, he lied to us about the quantity of cigarettes
that he is smoking. He had said that it is around 200 but then, the
sober version of him said it was around 10-12. So that is much better.
Then after that, we went back to doing contacts. Noice.
Thursday (April 18th, 2019)
Today
we had a great inspirational district meeting and an awesome lunch.
Then we went back to doing contacts again. As we were walking into a
store to buy some stuff some girl passed and said hi in a very excited
manner, as if she had known us. We said hi and just kept walking because
it kind of freaked us out to be honest. Then, as we were walking out of
the store she chased us down and said.
What time is church??
Umm, its at 9 on Sunday.
Ok, Ill go.
Awesome, do you already know the missionaries?
Yeah.
Who was the first missionary that you met?
....So its at 9 right.
Um yeah. Can we get your address to visit you sometime?
No.
Then she walked away. It was really the weirdest thing that I had seen in a while.
Friday (April 19th, 2019)
The
Zone Leaders wanted to do a split where I went to Bagé for a few days
and Elder Kyle went to Caçapava. I left at 7:30 and when I got there we
went right to work helping the other missionaries in their area, doing
interviews and teaching and inviting everyone. It was a great great day
and we saw so many miracles with so many people and it was great to see
so much progress.
Saturday (April 20th, 2019)
We
woke up early to get some baptisms ready for the other missionaries in
the city and it was amazing because they were only planning to have 2
baptisms and at the last minute a third one showed up. We were so happy,
then throughout the day we had 3 more baptisms in the zone. The best
part was that the Sisters in Caçapava baptised!!! We were so so so so so
so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so
happy. (If you couldnt tell, we were happy) It was an absolute miracle
because on Monday a lady that they had taught before came up to them and
literally begged them to be baptised. She said that she now knew the
church was true and wanted to get baptised before she died. Then
everything went great and she was baptised today in Caçapava. We were so
so happy.
Sunday (April 21th, 2019)
Today
we ran around again in search of all of the people that had the amazing
opportunity to be confirmed a member of the true and living Church of
Jesus Christ. They were all confirmed and there are now more people that
have the opportunity to enter Gods Kingdom. We also got to participate
in a group they have that has about 20 people. Even though there werent
many people, I could feel the Lords love for these people who had chosen
to come closer to Christ.
Spiritual Thought:
This
week we celebrate the life and especially the resurrection of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of the fact that He suffered, died and
rose again, we will live again too. We have the opportunity to be
better everyday. We can be forgiven and be seen as clean in the Lords
eyes. I am so grateful for Him and all that He has done for us. Always
remember that He will lift you up
I love you all! Happy Easter!!
Elder Allen
