Still training and working hard...10.09.2017

Hello everyone!!

This week there has been a lot of progress. Our teaching group is growing and we have people with a a desire to change. First off is Antonio and Eduardo. They are father and son who were brought to church by a member who is dating Antonio We taught the Restoration to them and they will read the book of Mormon. They just have to stop smoking and drinking but they want to.  We also met a teen called Diego. We left a Book of Mormon with him and when we returned he had read a chapter and loved it. Then he asked if we wanted the book back and we said that it was a present and he was really surprised and thanked us. He is 19 years old and if he gets baptized he could serve a mission. Antonia and Ricardo were full of surprises this week. Antonia would have been baptized but one day earlier, when we brought the bishop with us, she was drunk. Yeah... Then Ricardo, the one who is a little depressed, agreed to go to a pizza place with us. He went,liked it, and will now go to the youth activity this Thursday. He is starting to open up. Our recent convert Leandro brought his friend Joao to church as well. 

     This week sadly didn't have the baptism planned. But this week there was a surprise party for the stake presidents wife, Keila. We didn't know about it until we stopped by the church to use the bathroom. But it was good to animate us a little bit and a member introduced us to his friend Carol and we took her address and will go there this week Friday, I also went on splits with Elder Mires to do a baptismal interview. He is really excited and a hard worker. The interview went well and Andrea was baptized for the other dupla. This Sunday was fast Sunday and this ward loves it.There is always a line to bare testimony and many talked about missionary work and the Book of Mormon. Some of the members asked for another Book of Mormon to read at work.

Well until next week. After I finish email today the stake president invited us to a BBQ at his house!
