This Sunday we had a special visit in our ward - President Genaro and his family! Our ward mission leader had invited them to come give talks in Sacrament Meeting, so they drove in from Londrina to visit. It was great! President Genaro interviewed a few people from our ward, gave an amazing talk along with Sister Genaro, and stayed to watch the BAPTISM afterwards!!! It was awesome - Julia, one of the other sisters' investigators was baptized, and Monica as well! I don't know if I ever talked about Monica in my emails. She is a friend of our ward mission leader, and we taught her a few times. Unfortunately she was living in a different ward, so she wasn't ever baptized... but apparently she moved this week to our ward mission leader's house, and she was able to be baptized on Sunday. It was a beautiful day! Afterwards we had a huuuuge delicious lunch at our ward mission leader's house, with the four sisters, President Genaro and his family, our ward mission leader's family, and a few other guests. All in all, a spectacular Sunday.
The rest of the week was just contacting contacting contacting contacting. We're kind of low on investigators right now, which is a bummer, but we're praying and searching and talking with EVERYONE we see, and trusting that the Lord will guide us to the people who are ready to hear about the gospel!
I got to do a division with Sister Bullen this week - she is one of the Sister Training Leaders ( I always mess up the title of that calling, but it's something like that). She is AMAZING! For those who don't remember, she was my roommate in the CTM, and we lived together for one transfer in Ibiporã. I love her - she has a radiant and bubbly personality, a strong testimony, and a desire to share the gospel with everyone! I learned A LOT in the short space of time that I got to work with her. It was fun. :)
And that's my life. It's going pretty good so far.
Oh, and I got the "trunky phone call" this week!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH. :P You know, that phone call where they ask you which airport you want to fly to? But I remained surprisingly calm, and I promise, I'm not trunky. I'm not. I'm not. :) SERIOUSLY! I'm going to keep working my hardest until the very last minute here. As Sister Bullen said to me this week "I want to arrive in the airport with absolutely nothing more to give to the Lord!" I thought about that a lot afterwards, and I want that too. :)
But that's it from me! Love you guys!!! Have an amazing week. I will for sure be keeping Uncle Blaine in my prayers, and I know that the Lord will be close to our family during these weeks.
Keep the emails coming! :)
Love,
Sister Gee
