I feel like this week was a complete repeat of last week. It was tough but then in the end the Lord blessed us yet again. This week however we also had a conference with Elder Jairo Mazzagardi and it was really great. I was able to learn a lot from the things that were said in the conference. He talked a lot about the covenants that we have made with the Lord and how we must honor those covenants. Also how we need to help many many other people make these same covenants. It gave me again even more desire to baptize as many people as I can before the end of the mission. I just want to help a ton of people before my time runs out. Today is the last Pday of this transfer and tonight we find out about transfers. It's amazing how fast the time has passed during these 2 transfers with Elder Ahmed. They have been awesome. I now have only 4 more transfers before I come home. It's crazy how the time is going by.
This week we had the baptism of a young man named Mike. Unfortunately the computer isn't working to download and send pictures so I won't be able to send the picture of the baptism. I baptized and confirmed him. It was really great and he's super happy with the decision that he made to follow Christ. It has been awesome to see how much he has changed during this time that we have been teaching him.
Also Elder Ahmed and I have had the amazing oppurtunity to see many of our recent converts change in front of our eyes and see their testimonies grow. This week we continue to hear the stories from them, along with some less actives that we helped return to church. It has been a fantastic few months here in Jaraguá with him and we´ve seen many miracles.
Eu Te Amo
