7 Semanas de Milagres

 Olá!!
This week, I got cleaver and decided to coordinate my email to pictures. Lets go!

This is why I´m on the mission: for families like this. Teaching João and Pedro was awesome and their baptism actually happened on the day that was planned from the beginning and to a full house. They brought a ton of friends and because we scheduled the baptism conveniently before a ward activity, we had many members there too. The baptism also brought Liliam and Eduardo to church for the first time in about 12 years.

Foto 2 - Left to right: Elder Hamilton, Pedro, João Vitor, Elder Fernandez = It was the pleasure of my companion to baptize Pedro and my pleasure to baptize João Vitor. Everything went perfectly. The talks, music, bem-vindos, everything. It was a baptism that I will never forget. I am so grateful for these two young men and the great example they are for me to simply follow the example of the Savior.

 

Foto 3 - Saturday was the birthday of both me and my companion (what are the odds we scored that?) I got lots of emails this week, so thank you everyone who wished me a happy birthday! If you forgot, arrependai-vos. Tô brincando. It was a great day. If you know me well, you also know that I can get myself into much trouble with my over-eating. What if I said that Saturday I ate the most food I've ever eaten in one day? Imagine that.

Foto 4 - Tomorrow morning, I say goodbye to this man. He's going home to Chile. My new companion will be Elder Cassimiro (another Paulista). This has been an incredible transfer. I have learned and grown so much and as a result seen so many miracles these 7 weeks with Elder Fernández. I will miss him. I have so much to thank him for, he has been such a great example of how I want to serve the rest of my mission. I am grateful for the great friend I have made, and I wish the best for Javier in the big world!

 

Até mais!
