IGREJA

I got pooped on by a bird. Twice. BUT, 5 of our investigators came to church this week!!! And then 8 less actives, and I could not be more sure that this church is true.

So Karla, our investigator finally decided that wow, the things that we are teaching her are true. The only thing that we have really been worrying about is the fact that Celso lives with her and they arent married. So we set a baptismal date for the 21 and we were super worried and preoccupied and didnt know how things were going to work out. We passed by one day and she told us that Celso had moved out, just like that. Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers and I am SO excited for her!!

We went to this sapatoria, where they fix shoes, about 5ish weeks ago and we met a less active, Michon. He played soccer professionally and is the coolest guy! So naturally we have been wanting to meet with him and teach his family, who arent members. But every time we pass by and try to set up a date he just tells us that he will talk to his family and set a set date and time and is just post poning the blessings that God is waiting to give him! BUT. We were walking to one of our appointments and passed by his house and he was outside with his wife!! So we said hi casually and just kept going on to our next appointment. Later that night we didnt have any where to go and we were depating between Michon and another investigator. For some reason we were both hesitant and went to the other investigators house, even though we knew we needed to meet with MIchon and his family. So we get to the other house and no one is home. Friends, God has a plan and we have to do His will!! We turn back, heading to MIchons house for the 3rd time in one day and this dog, there are literally billions just roaming the roads everyone, starts barking and looks pretty fierce. So naturally I go to the other side of the road and leave my companion to clap at the house. And get this, Michon and his children (Michel and Vitoria) and his wife all come out!! They wouldnt let us in, but we talked to them outside for a solid 15 minutes. Michel and Micon starting talking about football and basketball and starting naming players and I just went with it! You guys, I am certain that this family will be baptized here in no time because they are beyond prepared! Michel was actually being taught by the missionaries a year ago and we went to church for a solid 3 months, but for some reason his parents wouldnt let him get baptized. But thats okay because God has a perfect timing for everything!

I love this Gospel and I am super sorry about all the gramical errors, the spell correct is in portuguese. But I know that God loves us and He loves His children and great things are happening here in Fazenda Rio Grande.

Follow Gods plan for you, because I promise it is greater than anything you could ever imagine. I love you all and am so thankful for all the love and support! 

Have the greatest week and dont forget to read your scriptures and say your prayers. 

Abraço,
Sister Albertoni
