Christmas has passed and so has 2017. I had a great Christmas and Christmas eve. We got a little lost trying to find the Raul´s house to eat dinner with them and we gave in the towel. but as we were going back home they called and helped us find the address. We had to eat fast to be able to get home by 9:30 but it was good. Raul is the "founder" of the church here in Lafaiete. He helped open the first branch and has lots of stories. Then on Christmas day it was great to talk with my family again and then we had a family night with Raone, Jul, Jaosinho and a few others. It was great.
New years was alright. We worked a lot on New years eve and then when we got home I was so tired and so I just slept. Not the most exciting of New Years, but I woke up relaxed at least. Because of New Years they changed our p-day to today.
Yesterday was the baptism of Efigenia. She was prepared by the Lord to be baptized. Literally we met her in the hospital to give her a blessing because she burned her feet really bad making hot coffee. Then she said every time that she wanted to make coffee her feet burned and so she stopped immediately. There were lots of others miracles the happened for her to be baptized but I don't have time to count them all. At the baptism Elder Gale and I played the primary song "When I am Baptized" on the violin and the ukulele and it was really spiritual.
Tomorrow we are off to Juiz de Fora for a meeting and then Thursday we get back to get to work. We are having lots of Family Night evenings that are helping us a ton. We had one last night that we talked about union. We used a block with one thick nail in it. And we told the people there to stack 14 nails on top of the one in the wood. After many attempts we showed them how it is possible and talked about how our families have to be united. It was a great lesson. However it was meant for 2 investigators Kauani and Isabella, but their mom is being really hesitant against the church. So she didn't let them go, but we are praying and will not give up on them yet.
Happy New Year everyone,
Until next week!
-Elder Smith
