9/25/17 Apucarana Zona Sagrada!!!!

Well, this week was good :) Wasn't full of much, but it was good :) We met some cool people, marked a baptism date and also went to Londrina again :)
So we have some people that we are teaching. One is a young adult named José. He has 20 years and is wanting to change his life... what better way to change his life than through the gospel of Jesus Christ right? He stopped drinking and smoking and he broke up with his girlfriend cuz she wasn't helping him change... so yeah :) He is pretty cool and amazing, the only thing is that he doesn't want to go to church. He knows he needs to... it's just that he doesn't wanna.... so we are gonna help him with that a little more and then prepare for BATISMO!!!!!!
We also have another young adult with 20 years, Jean, that is Josés roomie. They also live with another guy who is a recent convert, Jonas. Jean... he is the opposite of José. Jean always goes to church, but drinks and has a girlfriend that doesn't want him to go to church.... but he goes anyways and also wants to stop drinking, but doesn't wanna put in any effort... so yeah. Difícil...... but we marked a interview with my district leader today to talk to him about batismo and how he feels about everything :) So hopefully he passes and tells the elder some things to help us help him... if that makes sense........
We also have a little girl with 11 years, Raissa. She is the grand daughter of a less active and wants to go to church and also accepted to be baptized, it's just that we need to talk to her mom... who is in the hospital and is about to have a baby... so it's complicated.... but she is amazing!!!!! She understands everything and truly has a desire to follow Christ and do what He did :) We are going to talk to her more this week and try to talk to her mom..... or her grandma. :)
That's basically it. We have a couple other people, but they aren't progressing... so yeah, sad, but we will see what happens this week :)
Well... that's basically it. It's gonna rain this week, so it's getting a little more cold... just a little, and also this week, or ever since I got here, our washer for the clothes is broken and we've been washing our clothes by hand. Now I feel like a true missionary :) I'm also working my arm muscles that I dont have. Maybe I'll get some more after being here... Buff legs and now buff arms HOO!!!!! :)
But yeah.. that's basically it. I love you all and I hope you all have a great week :) Keep smiling and never forget about your Loving Heavenly Father :) 

Com amor, Sister Ferguson
