This week the miracles are rolling in! I have an awesome story of the magic of help from the ward and referrals. Are you excited? Vamo la!
Wednesday, all of our plans dropped early in the day. We passed by the lanchonete of the coolest new converts João Vitor and Suhellen to buy açai and ask for referrals. João Vitor told us about a family he encountered the other day and the awesome discovery he found when talking to the mom, Liliam. The missionaries found her and her boyfriend about 14 years ago. She received the missionaries very well and they helped her to decide to get married. Liliam and Eduardo were married in the church. Before Liliam decided to be baptized, she had troubles concieving children. She made a promise with God that if she could have children, she would raise them to become missionaries someday. Shortly after her baptism, her first child João Vitor (age 12) was born. They now have two others, Pedro (age 11) and Maria Eduarda (age 3). Liliam and Eduardo stopped going to church about 11 years ago, simply due to their work schedules. This family is golden! Liliam still has a great testimony, and has continued to live gospel principles and provide a home of peace and morality. João Vitor and Pedro are very receptive and excited about the church and they even brought a friend to church yesterday. We have the baptisms for João Vitor and Pedro scheduled for January 30th!! We are so excited for them and the blessing of finding this great family. This is a family that certainly will become eternal.
