It was a GREAT week...

One of the best weeks on the mission and that's a positive. Well, we still had some downs as always, but we had a lot more ups then anything this week. I was super glad. This week went really slow for us unfortunately.... We had the whole week to stress about if our investigators were drinking coffee or not... the worst part of the mission! haa. But anyways, during the week we invited one of our investigators to watch a baptism on Saturday to just watch. She, in the end, bore her testimony that she already had and asked us if she could be baptized this Sunday! Yep, it was awesome. Other elders taught her in Curitiba and she went to church tons of times, but in the end didn't ever want to be baptized. She made the decision this week and was baptized! It was such a great feeling.

This Saturday went WONDERFULLY WONDERFUL! First, we woke up super excited and went straight to the center of the city to go watch the wedding! It was a simple wedding in the place owned by the government and they just looked so happy though. They then insisted that we would go to a churrasco with them, and I didn't have a single problem with that at ALL! haha. We went and celebrated and it was just a ton of fun. Saturday we had only 2 hours to work. When we got home, we had to go back to the center and fill up the baptismal font, because our church building (or house) doesn't have a font. We were traveling all day. It was all good though. Everyone showed up and we had the baptism which was great. Lots of people were there and very excited and jealous that ´´our missionaries aren't baptizing families! Can we trade missionaries?´´ haha. It was funny. But everyone was just really excited. Especially Silvana (wife) who cried watching her husband get baptized and the first thing she said after was, ´´just one more year to wait now...´´ Why is that??? ´´We will be sealed in the temple in exactly one year from today´´. Wow... My mouth just dropped and I was SO happy that day. There is no better joy to a missionary then Baptisms.

The next day was the same thing pretty much. Went to church, had a great meeting and then we went to fill up the font again for Janaina because my companion was the last person to baptize and pulled the plug... haha. its all good though. We went there and I had some time to practice my piano so maybe I can play here for the ward one day. We had the baptism and everything went as planned. Janaina even brought her friends to the baptism. It was a very great experience to be a part of everything that happened this weekend.

This week, unfortunately, our president cut a lot of expenses... Yeah, we are broke now. We have no food at home basically and no money to ride the bus to the places we need to go. haha. It's been a tough week with that. But the members have been helping us out to keep full. Very grateful to have members that help so much.

I am just in a really good mood right now. The only thing is about baptisms, when you get done baptizing someone, you just think.... ´´now who's next?´´ haha. We got a lot of finding to do this week!

I love you all!
