Family and friends.
We were clapping at houses and stopped for a quick minute to snap a pic.
Also I am learning how to read maps and follow directions and I am
super proud of myself for only getting lost a million times but then
being able to find my way. Oh. So we were on the way to lunch when we
ran into a member, Natalia, and I was super unsure about how to get to
the members house but then Nat told us the way and we made it early!!!
So obviously Heavenly Father knows my weaknesses and he hears and
answers my prayers and doesnt want me to get too frustrated over little
things. I love prayer and nice people and being a missionary.
Being a missionary
will forever be my favorite thing. Sister Santos is so awesome and we
even eachother out super well! She is so super funny and I already love
her.
So. I was able to go to an english class
this week and I have never had so much fun or felt so cool in my whole
life. I was able to go to 3 different classes and answer questions that
they have about the united states and me and being a missionary and
everything. The teacher wanted me to speak in english and it was such a
huge struggle, so I went back to speaking portuguese without even
thinking. I literally prayed to forget english when I got here and it is
crazy seeing how far that I have come! THEN. That same day we were
looking for a house when we passed by this teenager who smiled SO big at
me and I was a little confused because people dont normally do that. As
we kept walking Sister Santos said that he was in one of the english
classes and I didnt even realize it! So we ran back to him and talked to
13 year old Dalton who was so happy and willing to let us mark another
day to talk/teach him and his parents!! Service is key and I know that
Heavenly Father is preparing people to accept His gospel!!
We
have been trying to find people while we are walking to our
appointments and that is how we met the nicest old guy. He told us that
we were awesome and that he thinks what we do is so great. He even gave
us paçoca and told me that I look like his granddaughter. He wouldnt let
us teach him, but I know that we are planting little seeds and one day
he will accept the missionaries novamente!
Also
we taught Evan and Manu this week and after our lesson I felt like Evan
really needed to pray. He has been reading the book of mormon with his
girlfriend, Manu who is less active, and he has so many good questions!
So we had the girls come in and we all kneeled as Evan prayed to know if
Joseph Smith was a profet and if the book of mormon is true. I know
that the spirit really does testify of the truth and that super duper
soon Evan will become a part of the true gospel of chirst!!!
I
love Brasil and being here and doing what I am doing. Confiar mais no
Senhor. Rely on the Lord and follow the spirit. I know that the church
is true and that it changes lives. Read your scriptures and talk to your
father in heaven! Miracles are real and I am thankful for you all!
Beijos,
Sister Albertoni
