1/8/18 Miracles Really Do Happen :)

Well.... this week was pretty great :) First off we had a bunch of little miracles that happened and :) One big miracle that happened was that finally, Dani, Duda, and Maria Lourdes came to church :) The kids loved it :) Don't know if I spoke about them before, but they are a family that we met a while back and they have been progressing well. Duda who is 12 is amazing. She is memorizing the principles of the gospel and also saying amazing prayers. She also accepted to be prepared to be baptized this Saturday!! Aslo Maria Lourdes accepted too :) We are going to visit them this week to make sure they still have a desire and also to teach a little more, but Duda´s Dad already accepted that she can get baptized!!! Woohooo!!!! Então, vamos ver o que acontece :) 

This week also we met some great people. Something real cool also happened. So a few weeks ago we met a man on the street who was drinking and he stopped us to ask about the church. We told him when the meetings were and when and he said that he already knew and that he's not gonna go cuz he has no place to go afterwards. So we continued walking and forgot about the contact. But a few days later we saw him when we were going door to door. Also that week we met a teen who's name is Junior and we talked ot him and his mom about going to church. His mom said that she already has heard about the church cuz her dad was baptized in the church a while ago and had left the church. We didn't think anything of it until one day we passed by their house again and the man was in front of their house. He was the lady's dad... it was so cool to see how God puts people in our lives for a reason. We talked to them a little about the church and invited them to church, but they didn't go, but they accepted us in their house and they liked the lessons. They are praying and everyting. We talked to the man, who's name is Osmar and he said that he has been missing the church and the things he had learned there. He stayed firm in the church for only 3 months and then left, but he has wanted to return for a while.. so we invited him and he accpeted to go again, doesn't know when but he said he'd go :) 

For me this experience happened because God knows that we needed to find that family and share the gospel with them :) I hope everything goes well this week... I'm probably not going to be here for their baptism if they get baptized, but at least I helped them start a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ :) 

Nothing else really happened this week.... Ano Novo!!! New Years and New people to teach and weird weather. Usually it is suuuuuuper hot during Dezembro and Janeiro, but it's kinda cold and it has been raining a bunch. Each day is different. One day rain and the other Sun... it's a little annoying, but it's better than suuuuper hot everyday :P :) 

Well... sorry this letter isn't super exciting, but thank you for everything you guys do and love you all :) Have a great week and always look for Christ in everything :) Love you all :) 

Com amor, Sister Ferguson
