Their righteous choices

So this week was good, I guess the things we have been learning this week is to just keep doing our best. Our mission president even sent letters to the mission (as he does every week) but this week it was about how we dont need to have a huge miraculous thing occur to be successful. That as long as we are doing good things every day that is where we will find the blessings. In small and simple things great things come to pass.

Some of the things Im enjoying as of late

*My growing ability to use many different scriptures in lessons as prompted by the spirit, because of my studying.

*The family of Aline, Robert, and Luan is bringing me continuous joy. They paid their tithing this past week (our recent converts) are doing family night every week, Luan is attending institute, Aline is implimenting prayer with her two young kids, and Robert received the priesthood in church.

*We are visiting less actives and trying to help them

* We were able to have 10 people come to church again!!!! 4 were teenagers which is really amazing honestly( although we havent officially taught them yet) and 3 children who want to be baptized but need to wait until their parents are also visiting church with them.

*Dilma has a really strong testimony but is waiting to be able to get married.

*Preparing Luan, Aline and Robert to visit the temple to do baptisms vicarious.

*My companion is a large blessing in my life, it really makes a difference having your best friend be your companion, its really nice because yesterday after having 10 people in church (which was definitely a miracle) but with thoughts racing millions of miles per second about who will visit with us, what we will do during the week, how we can help them and other things like that I started feeling a bit under the weather and we went to visit Dilma (because our baptism of Erik was postponed for this next saturday because we felt that it was the best thing for their family, but our leaders (elders) wanted him to be baptized on sunday) and so I was preoccupied with what we needed to do, because we both felt right about waiting until saturday when his dad could be their and things like that and it was the same conclusion that Dilma had and so we all felt like it was an answer to prayer. But our Elders of course wanted to help and were worried about all the possible difficulties this family will encounter this week with the adversary trying to prevent his baptism. And so there was just a lot of things going on in my mind about what we needed to do and as a side affect I was feeling a bit sick but as we sat on the steps (in the building) outside the door of Dilma waiting for her to answer the door my companion talked with my rubbing my back and to be completely honest I cant remember a word she said but I can remember how I felt. Having her support and encouragement literally lifted a weight from my mind and we got up and continued in our day and I felt a ton better and we were able to have the lessons we needed to have in order to follow up with our investigating friends and it just turned out really great. We had a really really neccesary and good lesson with Flavia who said that she felt and believed the church was true and commited to follow the word of wisdom and it was really really good.

We are definitely praying for her family.

But I was just really grateful that everything worked out really good :) Im very blessed because of it. 

So we are definitely seeing wonderful things happening while strengthening good attributes such as humility and perserverance its really good Im really grateful for this opportunity to be strengthened in these things.

I love you all!!!!
