Sept 24


Anyway about the week.  The week was pretty good.  We walked around a lot.  Unfortunately didn´t find a lot of news.  Cristiane was supposed to be baptised this week.  Everything was ready to go for sunday and at 7:01 in the morning we got a text from her saying that she got called into work again and she said she feels like god doesn´t want her to be next to us.  I was suprised how hard I took this text.  This is like the most prepared investigator that I have taught on the mission.  She is already in Alma, wants to be baptised, but she always has to work ( works at a hospital ).  I couldn´t hold back my tears.  It was a pretty silent morning for me and Elder Barreto.  I hope she gets baptised this week though.  I hope she doesn´t have to work.  Please pray for her, that would help out a lot.  

As for the rest of sunday it went pretty good.  We had 6 investigators at sacrement with the possibility of getting baptised.  Our mission made the challenge of 6 baptisms in the month of september.  We have only gotten 1 until now, but we have been praying every night that we can reach that goal.  It appears very possible.  We are going to give our maximum to hit this goal.  

Cool experience or an observance that i´ve seen in my mission until now.  We were teaching cristiane and she always has questions ( good questions ) about the gospel.  And we respond.  She asked one this week and after we responded she said "wow I think you guys have studied all your lives for this huh??"  I started thinking and realized that i´ve never been able to not answer a quesiton.  The promise that is found in the Doctrine and Covenants holds true that you will "not be confounded before men".  I shrugged and pointed to the sky and said "it´s all him" haha.  I absolutely love the gospel.  And it´s even better to have the spirit.  The knowledge that I have has grown at least ten fold since i´ve got here.  It´s all because of the promise.  ITS AWESOME!...  Jesus is the Christ

Anyway that´s about it for the week.  Gotta go but I LOVE YOU!
