Sooo! Monday
I went to Porto Alegre and got all legalized but didnt get to see the
city much, but it was kinda nice to rest for four hours each way on the
bus!
But the big awesome thing that happened this week, is I
had the opporutunity to baptize a lady named Regiane!!! I cant believe I
havent mentioned her yet becasue she is way cool! Here is her story!
So, we met her my first week here on a rainy night
and she lives with her mom and brothers in a small house. She has a kid
too. Sorry I am really bad at stories... Anyways! There was just kind of
a sad feeling in the home and we didnt know why but we taught her
family and invited her to church on Sunday. She accepted to come and she loved it, but she was the only one in her family to come!
The next time we visited her was the same way, just
kind of a sad feeling in the home, very quiet and we taught more and I
could gradually understand more and more!
It was kind of the same way each time we visited her, and she didnt
really seem very enthused to meet with us, until one night we met with
her. The night before we talked about how she could recieve an answer to
her prayers and when we met with her the next time she had this light
in her eyes, and was talking, and we knew she had recieved an answer to
her prayers! There was a completely different feeling in the home! She
accepted to be baptized, but still was nervous and not 100 percent sure
it was right!
Well the day of her baptism came and she chose me to
baptize her which was such an honor! Anyways we were in the font and I
could tell she was nervous, but I baptized her and she came out of the
water with the biggest smile on her face!! Like smiling so much she was
giggling! It was crazy how happy she was and she just had this light in
her eyes!
We talked to her a little more Sunday
night and there is just a new feeling in her home. We never found out
why she seemed sad, but we know that we helped her, whatever it was!
Such a miracle!
So that is her story, she is so awesome and the more
Portugues I can understand the more awesome she is! Things are going
good here though, we are planning on starting a group or maybe a branch
in Capao do Leao!
Cool stuff happening! But yeah thats about it for now! I love you all so much!
I wll send pictures next week the computer Im on today wont let me... I love you all!
