Hello everybody! What a week! There were a load of our
investigators who couldn't meet with us this week, so a lot of our lessons were
with new people. A couple of them are pretty cool, and I just pray that they
will keep their commitments!
We had a pretty crazy lesson this week with two new people. The lesson was crazy because it was completely
in Portuguese! I don't know if I just haven't noticed it before or if the
Lord is just arranging everything that way, but since my new companion from Brazil got
here we have been running into quite a few Portuguese speakers! This is the
first time that we have been able to teach an actual lesson to someone in
Portuguese. I admit in the back of my mind was the possibility that I would
suddenly receive the gift of tongues and be able to help teach the
lesson, but it didn't happen :) My companion and I have taught people
about the Restoration many times and so I always knew about where we were in
the lesson, but I felt pretty powerless and out of the loop! I was able to bare
my testimony at the end of the lesson while my companion translated for me
though, so that was really good. We have a second appointment scheduled with
these two investigators this evening!
This week we were also able to do some service for a part
member family which was really good. They were filling in an old fish pond with
old bricks and dirt so that they could plant a vegetable garden on
top of it. We made quite a few trips with a heavy wheel barrow and I am still
feeling it a couple of days later!
I love you all and have a wonderful week!
