And another week that ended with more baptisms and confirmations! And it was another group of 3, there is nothing better than ending the week like this with baptisms. This week we baptized Luzia, Kelly and Larissa. Mom, Daughter and Granddaughter! 3 generations all on the same day. It was such a great experience. When I was on the division with Elder Vincent about a month and a half ago me and him did a contact with Kelly and Larissa. The family was all over the place and everybody going to different churches. But now they are all members of the true Church of Jesus Christ. And Kelly is pregnant as well! My first person that I baptized that was pregnant, pretty great experience. I baptized Luzia, who is the oldest and was extremely Catholic, after her baptism she said to me that she NEVER imagined leaving the Catholic church and even less being baptized in another church. But mircales happen and the Lord touched her heart to help her realize that she needed to be baptized by someone who had the Priesthood here on the earth. Elder Moyano baptized Kelly (pregnant) and a YM in the ward baptized Larissa. It was his first time baptizing and he was so excited. Overall it was a fantastic baptism and our hard work with them all payed off.
We also have a few other people who we will still baptize this transfer before it ends, Jaraguá is baptizing like it never has and the members are all super happy. The ward is growing really fast and it's so great to see the chapel fuller and fuller each week. Its a good thing when you have to search for a place to sit and not try and pick from all the empty benches where you want to sit.
Also this week we had yet another mission council. It was so great to get to see all the missionaries again. Especially because now the original 4 from the MTC are all ZLs. Me, Elder Tatafu, Elder Horrocks, and Elder Vincent is the Assistent.
Eu Te Amo
