On Monday my companion and I taught one
of the most spiritually led lesson I've had thus far. We were invited
to have a Family Home Evening with the Bishop and Julia and her non
member husband Antonio. Julia has been a member for 28 years and her
husband come to church with her every now and then.
I was nervous to give the message, because I knew that the Bishop
had a lot of faith that we would help this family become eternal. All
day Monday my companion and I prayed and discussed what we thought we
should teach. Going in to the FHE I had no idea if we were going to
teach the Plan of Salvation, or the Restoration or what. When we arrived
at there house I said a silent pray and asked Heavenly Father to bless
us that we would know what to teach and that the spirit would be with us
and touch the heart of Antonio. I felt so much peace that everything
was going to be okay. And it was.
When the bishop turned the time over to us to begin the message I
felt inspired to ask "Quem é Jesus Cristo pra vocês?" Who is Jesus
Christ to you? The spirit was so strong as we everyone in the room
testified of Jesus Christ. Finally when it was Antonios turn, he said
that Jesus Christ was his best friend, that he loves him and that when he
feels alone that he prays that Jesus will be with him. I felt inspired
to share with him the experience that I had my first six weeks here on
the mission, How I didn't understand anybody, and how nobody understood
me, and how I had felt so alone, and hat I prayed that Jesus would be
with me.
The spirit really and truly guided our lesson with Antonio, We
challenged him to be baptized this upcoming Saturday. I am praying that
he will have the faith to be baptized. I have so much love for him.
I've learned so much this week. You have to have the spirit with you if you want to have success. The spirit testifies of truth.
I am so grateful, for the experience that I had with Antonio, and For my testimony of Jesus Christ.
Eu sei que Jesus Cristo é o filho de Deus. Ele é
nosso Salvador e Redentor. Eu sei que através ele e sua expiação nos
podemos sentir limpo de nosso pecados. Ele é meu melhor amigo
com amor,
This is one of my favorite places in our new area
Brazil is truly one of the most beautiful places in the World
Brazil had their "memorial day" In front of the Catholic church they
blocked the road and made this. and all down the streets they layed out
blankets with food
