Proseletismo was on Saturday
and I love this gospel SOOO MUCH!!!! Many voices in the world compete
for your attention, and they can easily drwon out spiritual impressions
if you are not careful.
It was such a crazy
cool experience! We gave away all 10 of the Book of Mormons in an hour!
There were several times when my companion and I got turned down, but
people were nice and willing to talk. There was a man who gave us each a
picture that he drew and kept calling us beautiful!!
We
were at a cross walk talking to a couple of sisters and they could not
understand what we were saying. SSo out of the blue this nice woman
comes over to us and starts talking to the sisters about the church and
how it is true. It was such a blessing because one of the sisters
accepted a book of mormon, and who knows the impact it will have in her
life. It is so cool knowing that Heavnly Father loves and cares for His
Children! We were doing our best with the language, so He sent a little
extra help to get the message across.
There was
a man who stopped us and told us about how some elders gave him a book
of mormon last week. He~s an author, and has really enjoyed reading the
book. It was cool how he took the time to be nice, and it just goies to
show that people are willing to open their minds to new ideas.
We
even saw a man sitting on a bench reading a book of mormon and ahhh,
how did I get so blessed to be here right now::^The lords hand is
everywhere, you just have to look for it.
English fast!! I went a whole day from 6am to 10pm
speaking complete portuguese!! It made me think of not only what to say
in portuguese, but if what I wanted to say wasworth saying at all. It
showed me that I have come a long way in 3 weeks, but I definitely have a long way to go.
Devtional! I got asked to play the opening and closing hymns and sing a verse of I am a child of God by myself!!! This Saturday
when a member of the 70 will be here to speak!! HOw crazy is that??? I
am beyond nervous but so honered to have such an amazing opportunity. So
prayers are more than welcome because I will need all the help I can
get. Use your talents whenever and where ever you can. I am so lucky to
have thee most talented family and friends and I know that all of you
have so muhcc to offer!!
Portuguese!! I am
starting to understand more everyday! IT is truly amazing thinking about
the progress that has taken place in just 3 weeks. The gift of tongues
isnot what I thought it would be, but it is so real! I know Heavenly
Father would not have semt me to brazil if He knew I coulnd~t learn
Portuguese.
Scripture study! I would challenge
you guys to start your scriptures tudy by writing questions or doubts
you may have, say a prayer, and then just pick up where you left off. I
promise you that if you have an open heart and mind that you will
receive personal revelation, so write it down!! Heavenly Father is
waiting to help and bless you with anything and everything you stand in
neeed of.
Ey sei que Deus amores Ele filhos. I
am thankful for your thoughts, prayers, and emails. I would not be
where I am or have the opportunity to become who I need to be without
all of you!!
Read your scriptures, say your prayers, and look up a good joke in Portuguese to tell me!!!
Much love,
Sister Albertoni
