OI FAMÍLIA!!!!
Well this week was super awesome! We
were able to find and teach a lot of people who seem real interested in
learning more about the gospel. This is the best feeling ever! When you are
teaching and the person's face just lights up as you are talking, and they just
want to learn more and more. I love it! And this week, it happened a lot.
We visited a family of three
(Thamiris, Ana Lucia, e Fernando) who want to learn more. They really want the
whole family to go to the same church. Thamiris, who has 23 years, goes to
church but her mom and brother don't. But they are searching for somewhere
where the whole family can go! We are super excited to visit them this upcoming
week and teach them more about the gospel and how it can change their family
life and faz com que(makes) their family is mais united. We also started to
visit a little girl named Ingrid (has 11 years) that lives with her grandma and
older sister and cousin. She went to a church activity that we had this Saturday
and loved it and também went to church and loved it too! She loved the primary
and how she was able to stay and learn with the kids her age. She said that in
the church she goes to with her grandma, she has to sit there the whole time
and listen to the preacher talk and doesn't really learn a lot. And in the
Church of Jesus Cristo, it's a lot different because everyone learns according
to their age. There is a sala(room) for everyone to feel comfortable and learn
the gospel in a way that they will understand! Just one more thing I love about
the church.
This week we had divisão(splits) and
I stayed in Parque Bristol with Sister Gutierrez one day and Sister Nascimento
the other. Recently Presidente Broadbent wants us to do divisões for two dias
so that we can get to know the sisteres better and how we can help them. But
Sister Gutierrez is from Peru and Sister Nascimento, Bahia, Brazil. They are
both really sweet and concerned with everyone they meet. They have this desire
to share the gospel with everyone. They both have just about a year in the
field so it was nice to work with them because they too have a lot of
experience.
I was also reading this week in
Jacó,(Jacob) and he was really having a serious talk with the people and how
they were not buscando(seeking) first Heavenly Father. They were all caught up
in the world and obtaining riches that they completely forgot about the Lord
and everything He had done for them. And as a result, they were not as happy
and they were before when they always searched Him first. Then Jacó tells them
to search first the reino de Deus(kingdom of God) and then everything they need
will be given to them and with all the wealth they will have, need to use it
for good and not be selfish. Hoje em dia(everyday) we are seeing a lot of
this....a lot of people just want to be wealthy and have the latest technology
and gadgets and aren't worried about doing the things that will bring us closer
to our Heavenly Father (going to church, reading scriptures, praying) and
really not thanking Him for everything He's done. I know that when we put Him
em primeiro lugar(above everything), everything will turn out just how it
should. We will have everything we will ever need and when we share this wealth
with others, we will be even more blessed.
I love you all so much!!! Thanks for
all the support and prayers!!! Have a superly duperly fantastic week!
Love,
Sister Hilchie :)
