This week was really great though!
Gabriela was baptized!!! It was absolutely amazing to find her as an atheist and a couple of months later for her to have her own testimony of Jesus Christ and the truthfulness of the Gospel! Her confirmation on Sunday was very special as well :) In the blessing, Bishop blessed her to be able to prepare to take the Gospel to other people in the world.... Future missionary!!
Another huge blessing this week was starting to teach a sweet young girl named Stefany! She went to church a couple weeks ago with her cousin who is a member in Gravatá. Turns out she´s already been to church a couple of times in Gravatá and LOVES it! After teaching her about the restoration of the Gospel, she said "why can´t everyone think this way??"-- I totally agree with her! It would be so much better if everyone knew that God calls living prophets today and that Christ´s church is here on the Earth! We went back the next day to teach her mom and when we started to talk about the first vision Stefany said that it is something that she is never going to forget because it touched her so deeply! I´m SO grateful for people who are pure in heart and are ready to hear the Holy Ghost testify of God´s truths!
This week we were able to visit the temple with Maria José and Flavio! At the temple we met a woman who had served in our mission a year ago who was getting sealed that day. Well turns out, it was this missionary that had baptized Doralice, Maria José´s sister! And so thanks to her missionary work Maria José and Flavio were able to come to know the true Gospel as well! This returned missionary was SO happy to know that! We really don´t understand just how many people we effect when we share the truth of the Gospel with others!
Have a great week everyone!
