Week 75~"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

The Shopping Mall getting ready for Christmas

Hello again! It seems like yesterday I wrote my last email. Time flies!

This week was pretty special. Junior, Luan´s brother, decided that he wants to be baptized. Actually it was pretty funny, we arrived at his house and we shared a mormon message with him about God´s will and when the video was over he called his mom to the room and asked when she would be working during the week and when she asked why he said ´´Because I´m going to be baptized and we need to work out the time.´´ And we were just sitting there like ´´did this really just happen?´´ But afterward his mom and brother started to say that he wasn´t ready and all. They were going to go to the beach this weekend, but Junior said that if they went he would go to church instead. And he came!! Alone!! We gave him the baptism paper to have his mom sign so let´s pray that everything works out this week for him to be baptized.

Also this week Priscilla is smoking less and is excited for her baptism. She still has a lot of questions, but is determined to follow because she feels good about the decision. She already kicked the ´´bad man´´ out of the house (boyfriend), and she´s been goiong to the classes for Auto-suficiência. She´s progressing great.

This sunday was probably the best sunday of my mission because it was completely stress-free and all of our investigators who are on date to be baptized came to church. God is good. This week I was able to feel lots of joy because our investigators are really living the scripture in Mosiah 5:2. I can say that it´s good to baptize, but to see the conversion in people´s lives is what makes me most happy. I love the gospel!

Love you all! Until next week!
Love,
