Week of Inspiration (Week 58)

This was a very filled week, plenty to write and not enough time! So let's get going! :)

On Tuesday we did a... special zone meeting to celebrate 3 missionaries ending their missions. As it is a tradition, we did a little funeral for them! It was the most elaborated funeral I've ever seen, thanks to the sisters of course!

On Thursday we had the opportunity to go to the São Paulo Temple once again and feel the spirit of God very closely. How I appreciate the prayers that are said in the temples all around the world for us missionaries, we are motivated and aided by them! Our zone is very united and going to the temple together was great! :)

On the bus back, my companion Elder S. Lima showed everyone how it's done by going to the front of the bus and sharing a message of the Book of Mormon. This time I managed to get the camera out to capture the missionary moment!

Last Sunday, Ilda, a recent convert asked us to visit her brother Sergio who was now living with her as he was having heart problems and could no longer work. We visited him and met this 25 year old humble Paraguayan ready to receive the gospel. We gave him a health blessing and then taught the restoration. He accepted to be baptised and went to General Conference with his sister. He has been reading the Book of Mormon and his understanding is incredible! Pray for his health and conversion! :)

We have been having the opportunity to teach a wonderful(ly big) family! Unfortunately they weren't baptised this Sunday but next week it will all go to plan! :) The oldest boy we're teaching, Wanderlei, is 17 and his interest for the scriptures and his desire to be baptised is incredible. He will be a great missionary in one year! Please pray for them! Wanderlei, Ronald, Arlon, Sabrina, Maycon and Franklin. (There are some missing in the picture below)

General Conference was very very inspiring! Watching it on the mission is even better because we get revelation for the area and our investigators. Above everything, I learned a lot about JOY! As our President says: JESUS, OTHERS, YOU!

Love you all!
