Hello everyone!!
This
week was good! The pouring rain here in Poá makes it a little hard to work, but
we´re still working and seeing lots of miracles.
This week, we had a cool experience with Ilma
(Genilson´s mom), who recently went through open heart surgery. We taught her
The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and after we taught her in detail about Christ´s
baptism, she was amazed. She explained, "Nossa, my baptism when I was a
baby wasn´t valid, because children don´t sin. I didn´t need to be baptized as
a baby! Now I understand why God saved me during my surgery...He wanted me to
have a chance to be baptized in the correct way so that I can be saved. I want
to be baptized in your church, in the way that Jesus Christ was baptized."
It was such a beautiful experience to watch someone just get it :) I´m so
excited for the baptism of this precious woman :)
We had a council for all the leaders of the mission
on Friday, which is always lots of fun. I love being able to learn at the feet
of President Silcox. He´s an amazing example to all of us.
In other news, we´re having stake conference here in
Itaquaquecetuba this weekend. But first, we´ll be having a mission conference!
That should be exciting! This is the first time since I got here that all the
missionaries in the whole mission will be in the same place at the same time!
Should be a great experience.
We´re still working with Sivaldo and Genilson and his wife,
as well as a bunch of other great people. I´m loving Poá.
Also, I made chocolate chip cookies this week!! Mmmmm! Also also, Sister Martinez cut my hair today! She did a
really good job! I´m lucky to live with such awesome sisters.
All my love,
Sister Doyle
