First off, we had a baptism!!!! The Fiancee of a member here got baptized so then they can get married and sealed in the temple!!! So exciting :) His name is Luri. He is pretty fantastic and stopped smoking, drinking and has been goin' to church for a month already. He was really prepared to be baptized and become a member of hte Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was so happy to finally make this decision :)
We also met some other people that have some great potential. We are going to continue teaching them. Almost all of the other people that we found these last couple weeks we have stopped visiting because they are not interested or are not wanting to progress... so we are starting over again. But the people we have now are pretty great :) There are a lot of people, so I'll just leave it at that :)
We also had an activity last night with the Choir. It was pretty great :) It talked about the life of Chirst and the different things that he had done. It started with before He was born and then ended with the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was really cool. They sang songs about each moment or topic and showed a video :) It was really pretty :)
Also this week Sister Elias made 1 year and 1 month!!!! So we celebrated. Also there is something pretty crazy goin' on with her and an old man that we found that the Elders baptized about 3 weeks ago. He loves her and is always giving her a bunch of little gifts, food, shirts, candy, and is wanting to buy shoes for her... but that aint' gonna happen. We have to run and hide from him everytime we see him cuz he just talks about how much he loves her and wants to give her stuff... it's kinda funny, but gotta be safe about it. He has about 70 years and he lost his wife about 3 years ago... so he is wanting to find another wife and he thought that the Sister Elias would be a good one... so yeah XD XD kkkkk it's pretty funny :) He is super small and fragile so he will not do anything severe.. but yeah :) Don't want his feelings to be hurt so we try to talk to him, but not for long, cuz that's when he starts to talk about how pretty Elias is... :) But yeah :) He's going to the other ward, which is his designated ward now, so that's good :)
Well.. that's basically all that happened this week. We bought a Christmas tree and some little decorations to get ready for CHRISTMAS!!!! Also our neighbor gave us some pão de queijo to eat this week, so that was delicious :)
But yeah.. that's basically it. Not that exciting, but we did have a BAPTISM!!! Woohoo!!! :) Love you all and I hope you all have a geat week :) Be happy and keep smiling :)
Com Amor, Sister Ferguson
