Wilson is perfect and i have no time today

THIS WEEK WE HAD MORE MIRACLES IRMÃO WILSON IS GOLDEN

SOMEONE FROM THE WARD THOUGHT HE WASNT UNDERSTANDING THINGS AND STARTED ASKING LIKE "ARE YOU REALLY UNDERSTANDING" AND HE FREAKING TOLD US THE WHOLE STORY OF THE RESTORATION AND THE PIONEERS AND COMMANDMENTS AND THE BISHOP WAS JUST LIKE "well alright my friend we can see that you are a man of jesus welcome to the family" and told the other guy to stop asking questions. it was funny.

BASICALLY WILSON IS PERFECT AND WE LOVE HIM. He is already inviting everyone to his baptism. And he gets worried about us because we walk around at night and he worries that something will happen and hes like "i wanted to run after you but i cant walk fast so i stayed here praying that god would protect you two" and we were just like *heart melts* Literally he has like adopted us as children or grandchildren and its so cute.

carnaval is horrible, so we're not leaving the house that much these next few days because EVERYONE IS GONE I THINK THERE ARE EXACTLY 4 PEOPLE IN THE BAIRRO LITERALLY ME AND MY 3 COMPANIONS we walk in the street and we can hear our footsteps ecoing. BUT it ends on wednesday AND WE ARE WORKING TO HAVE 3 BAPTISMS THIS WEEK. Wilson, Jefferson, and Lucas. Wilson is pretty solid but we'll still see witht he other two if theyre ready.

MIRACLES ARE REAL

alright this week was super cool. first of all. sister mazetto and sister custodio were out of the area and our credits ran out so we couldnt call anyone and we had no idea where lunch was. so i was like alright we're gonna pray and eeverything will work out AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SAID PRAYER LIKE I SAID "PLEASE HELP US FIGURE OUT WHEREE LUNCH IS" AND THE PHONE RANG so i was like clearly god is good and i ended the prayer super fast and it was the member calling to comfirm lunch and basically god is good

then we had like, a really hard week where everything was falling and nothing seemed to go right and we got to church on sunday and we found Wilson, a very old man who walked into one of our lessons in the middle of the week and we thought he hadnt even understood anything, you know? but he was there with bishop when we got there and bishop told us that he said "those girls were in my house and they told me if i prayed and asked god if what they said was true id feel good and i prayed and felt good so im here." and he went ON FOOT like with a walker and everything and he doesnt live that close and we were just like wow. 

Then Marcos showed up. Marcos investigated the church on the internet and showed up to see. he said he loved the message of the restoration and is excited to learn more.

and then Marcelo showed up. Marcelo is super busy all the time, but he felt that he needed to leave more time for god in his life because somethings missing so he started visiting a bunch of churches. and didnt like any of them. so he came here. and he said he liked what he saw so much (looking online) that he made a promise with god that he'll be here every sunday for a month to see if this is really what he wants and he promised to make time for us to  meet with him too. wow.

basically this week was proof that miracles are real when you belieave and also when you work y0our butt off so that something can happen. like. our goal was not to get these specific people to come, you know?but god blessed our efforts and 3 people we werent even teaching showed up and now we're teaching them. 

RE: working my butt off

Accompany is the direct translation I believe, but I think you’re looking for the English equivalent of “fellowship”… or maybe “splits”?  😉

 

Glad you are doing so well Taylor!  Time has flown and I can’t believe you’ll be home soon.

 

Sure love you!  Keep up the great work!

 

Ps.  Zak and Kendra’s wedding was fantastic.

wow so first of all i think last week i said my companion would be sister astorga from mexico. or maybe i didnt say that. idk. i dont remember. probably didnt. BUT i was wrong. my companion is not sister astorga. my companionS ARE sister astorga, sister mazetto, and sister custodio. since theyre the sister training leaders of the sister training leaders theyre always traveling doing stuff, so it was hard for them to (accompanhar omg somebody translate this word for me) like, keep up with the investigators and teach all the lessons and ok idk this word but i think you understood. so we work with them. like, every day or i or sister astorga goes with mazetto, every day it switches so that we know all the people were teaching, and then this week for example me and astorga will (accompanhar) everyone.

 

for those who dont remember my life like i do, mazetto was my 2nd companion and custodio is a sister that like, since the beginning we said we would be companions and all of us were in teh ctm together so this is awesome.

 

literally im so sorry but what is this word because its not accompany no one says that right? idk.

 

anyway, it was an awesome week THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE FOR US TO TEACH LIKE WOW EIGHT PEOPLE CAME TO CHURCH LIKE ITS BEEN A YEAR SINCE IVE SEEN EIGHT NON MEMBERS IN THE SACRAMENTAL WHAT THE HECK WERE GOING TO BAPTIZE ATE O PÓ

 

what else happened this week? SO MANY THINGS BUT I ALREADY DONT REMEMBER ANYTHING YOU KNOW.

 

we had an awesome lesson with the mom of a few recent converts who like, believes in everythingn we say but also believes that its not true and doesnt want to pray buT THE LESSON WAS SO GOOD YOU KNOW like i was sitting there thinking wow i feel so good if i hadnt already been baptized id jump in the water RIGHT NOW and we had a really good talk about how 1. what matters isnt the other questions you have about specific doctrinal points but literally all you need to know is if joseph was a profet, JUST THAT and everything else falls into place and 2. that you will never recieve an answer without doing something in exchange. and that you dont need to understand the whys of everything. all of that comes with time.

 

also we're working out
