8/28/17 Who Let the Cat Out of the Bag?

Hello everyone :) Well..... I am pooped after this week.... first it's suuuuuuuper hot now, and it's winter here.... in 90 degree weather.... and we have met sooo many people, which no one let us in..... we give lessons out front....... so my feet and legs are dead... :P But we have a bunch of super cool people to teach now :) 

So, first off..... let's explain the title of the email.... So... ever since we got here in Ala Paris, there has been a pregnant cat living with us. She was suuuuper pregnant.... and knowing what happens after a while being pregnant.... well, she had kittens. 8 to be exact, but only 3 lived.... They were born Tuesday, but we came home too late at night to save the others.... but we now have 4 new missionaries living in our hosue. They are soooooooo cute..... :) We are looking for a place for them..but literally... no one wants them, even the vets dont wanna take them... everyone says that we need to wait till they stop nursing, but that's gonna be in like 3 months... and we ain't got time for that... so yeah.. we are trying to find a place, but it's not working too well..... 

But anyways, we got our cats and also some new amazing people to teach. First off, we have Rian. He is literally amazing :) He's 17 and he, HE, asked if he could get baptized this Sunday... which we met him Tuesday, only 5 days before Sunday... and he is so excited about the gospel. He has given references to like 10 of his friends and we are trying to find time to teach them all :) But seriously he is just amazing :) He went to church with us yesterday and he brought his friend Alex, who the night before, we taught the Restoration to them...and they were kinda fighting over who was gonna read the Book of Mormon and who was gonna keep the one that we brought and who was going to have to wait another day to receive one..... man.. I got so excited seeing them get so excited about the gospel and learning something new :) 

We also have met Carol, who is 20, who I am pretty sure i talked about in the last letter... but she is great. She just has a little problem with her hubby, who doesn't want her to go to the Church of Jesus Christ.. but she wants to sooo bad..... but we are working with them still :) 

Well.... Also this week we are gonna baptize :) Marco, who is the step father of some members in Cidade Nova, is getting baptized Sunday :) So that is suuuper exciting :) Also, we are already planning on Rian´s baptism being the Saturday before Marco :) Man, all baptisms are suuper special, but Rian´s baptism is gonna be real special, well to me and I know also to Christ :) I'm so excited :) 

Well, that is basically all that happened this week. We met some more people, but Rian and Alex and Carol are the only ones really progressing right now. I am so excited for this week, for more experiences and also to find new people to teach about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that this really is the Church of Jesus Christ here on the earth and that He is leading the church throught our dearest Prophet Thomas S. Monson. There is no doubt in my mind... and I want everyone to know of this happiness that I have because of this knowledge. Love you all :)

Keep smiling everyone and remember that your Heavenly Father loves you and that everything that happens in life has a purpose and that this time here on earth is the most important time we can ever have, so use it wisely :) Love you all :) Until next week :) 

Com Amor,
