HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope all is wonderful and you all made new years goals :) I knowww I did! Anyway it was a great week, we baptized Eduardo and Isaq tuesday and yesterday (sunday) we baptized a boy named Noilson. I absolutely love these kids, they have such wonderful spirits about them! I know the Baptismal Prayer in portguês :)
but yeeah I had a pretty crazy new years haha.
First we wake up get ready go out and start doing the normal work and we go to like our first house (Isaq) and we are outside the front of his house talking to the family and him when his sister runs around the corner, and shes like someones shooting so we all go and get inside. and like five minutes later like 200 feet away I think?? More or less... someone got shot in the head!! Weirdest part is everyone starts running to see the guy that got killed. Crazy! Me and my comp were kinda laughing about it because everyone like goes to see the guy dead haha so weird like in america that doesn´t happen. But yeah so the police are on strike so somepeople just pull out there guns and shoot the air hahaha. So we wait there for like an hour finally decide to go home we start walking and some lady says to us "you might not wanna go that way because there is a guy with two revolvers" hahaha so we just turn around and take another route home. we went in at like 5 to be safe hahaha but yeah it was hard to sleep that night because when new years came people were lighting off fireworks and bombs like crazy SOOOO much noise ha.
ps don´t fret it´s not normal for shootings apparently, it´s only because the police are on strike... And why should I fear I have angels all around me helping me :) and the Holy Ghost!
but yeah we got our two baptisms from last week done and noilsen on sunday so it was a great week :) I really love teaching and i´m starting to really enjoy all that brazil has to offer. I know it´s only going to get better from here.
So this week the thing that has REALLY sparked my interest is the restoration of the gospel. I always knew it was true but I never really had a strong testimoney of it or anything like that. But just this last week it´s all like clicked in my mind. It all makes perfect sence and the "veil" ( like to call things that I don´t really know veiled ) is being taken off. Joseph Smith SAW god and his son Jesus Christ, I know that I will tell you more of why this makes sence when I get home in two years :) but yeah so many experiences sooo little time to type it. Love one another
till next week!
Elder Diamond (always move forward)
