The
first can be that I already knew about baby Jade on SATURDAY! We were
on our way to our baptism with a recent convert named Sofia. She is
fluent in English and her DREAM is to live in Mesa, Arizona (I have no
idea why- but its just so perfect that we live there righhht?) So she
said she was trying to find me on Facebook and she found DAD. And he had
a picture with a baby! So she goes- you want to see I downloaded it for
you! BABY JADEEEE! Ohhh que benção! I am so happy that it
all happened so simply for Ali and that we have one more bebezinha in
the family! She´ll be fun soon I just know it!
But really- our week- it just rocked! We baptized
Maria Eduarda and it was so awesome! She was terrified of the water and
it hasn't rained for a long time so our swimming pool (slash baptismal
font) was filled like... to my knees. So we used the biggest man in the
branch to just drop her down there and literally lunge her back up!
HAAAA! But it was amazing how the spirit was there even though the
situation was... a little less than perfect. But Maria Eduarda is really
such a gem. She was laughing about the swimming pool after and being
such a good sport. On Sunday she received the gift of the holy ghost and
in her blessing they said she would be a huge help for this branch! So
everyone is excited about that! And now the branch has two young women!
HA!
Also, this week we had mission tur! AKA Elder
Aidukitis (sp?) came here and did a little fireside/devotional with us!
It was AMAZING. Did you know that when members of the 70 talk the spirit
like... swirls around them? Just kidding... sort of. He was SO
inspirational and he taught us so much! One thing I loved that he talked
about was when he was a mission president one set of elders brought 100
non members to church in a little baby branch. And everyone was
freaking out because they didn't have room for all of them in the church.
This was less than 15 years ago and now they have 3 wards there! So me
and Sister Conley go... VAMOS!
So our goal now is to have the whole building filled
with investigators.... we´ll see how this goes! HA! I think it would be
better to have the whole room filled with baptized members? We´re
working on it. We have 2 baptisms planned for this week and mais 1 for
the next week! WOOOOO!
OH and the other day we talked with this group of
teenagers in the street- we are like- can we come by another day and
visit? They go- ya, there are a ton of us in the orphanage! HAAA! So
essentially we are going to fix a whole bunch of broken families and
there will be a bonitinho happy ending!
ALSO, in the lon house right now... Do you really want to hurt me- is playing. Like from the 80s. DAD you would love it here!
I had a ton more, but for some reason I am becoming boring as well!
Amor, beijos, e saudades!
