The rest
of Tuesday we went and met with a lot of people that Sister Ferreira
wanted to say goodbye to. Then on Tuesday night, our last night all
together we didn't have any electricity or lights! We were without lights/electricity/hot water
for about 4 days this week!
On Wednesday we had a meeting with the new trainers and then in the afternoon met our new companions!!!
My
new companion is Sister Muniz! She looks like an American, but she is
from Brazil Campinas. She is waiting for her VISA to go to her actual
mission in Florida! She will probably be here in Curitiba as my
companion for about one or two months! She doesn't speak much English
but she will teach me Portugues and I will teach her English!
This
week we visited all of the 15 investigators that I had at the end with
Sister Ferreira and then spent a lot of time walking, knocking doors,
talking to people on the streets and teaching people.
One
day we taught a lesson and the guy had TEN golden retrievers!!!! As we
were walking out they all followed me and were jumping up on me. I asked
the guy if I could take all of them home with me but he said that I
couldn't... haha.
On Sunday
we were in Sacrament meeting and sitting at the front. A member came up
and said there was a man at the back of the chapel that didn't know
anything about the church. We rushed back to sit and talk with him. He
told us that the night before he had a dream that there were two girls
that were missionaries and they invited him to something but before he
saw where it was he woke up. The next morning he left his house to go
for a walk, not knowing where he was going. He walked by the church and
for some reason felt like he should enter. He walked in and sat at the
back feeling a little sad and confused. At that moment we walked over
and sat on either side of him. He started to cry and a little later said
that when we sat next to him he felt that there were two angels sitting
next to him and he felt comforted.
I love
being a missionary! I have learned sooo much this past week! Each day as
I teach and testify more and more, the more I realize that this truly
is the one true church on the earth. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ
and our ability to be changed and become closer to Christ. I know that
Jesus Christ lives and that he can help us with any challenge or
weakness that we have!!!
I love y'all! Have an incredible week!
