Como Vocês estão?
Life in Brasil is great! We had 6 people in The Church
yesterday and we are planning on a baptism this week. We are teaching many
families and progressing!
We are teaching a Family of 4 right now. Neudo and his
family are Catholic (Like everyone) but their relative was baptised just a few
weeks ago. They are very interested in the church and acepted baptism very
quickly. It was amazing to see their dedication. I taught the Word Of Wisdom
with my companhion Elder Giorgetti and we asked them if they had any problems
with any of the items listed (Alchool, Smoking, Drugs, Black Tea, Or Coffee).
They responded "Coffee"... I was afraid that like other investagators
they would be kept from baptism just because they love Coffee. I asked them if
they would be willing to leave coffee and never touch it again. They hisitated
and then responded, "Yes". -Spark of faith bursted in my heart- I
responded after a moments pause.. "Would be willling to give me your
coffee you have in your house so that it doesn't tempt you?" They
responded again in the Positive. It brought a smile to my face to see the
mother walk out of the house towards us with her coffee in hand. They really
want to be baptised.. We will baptised them on the 21st of June. I can't
wait.
We also found out that as part of the World Cup. We as
missionaries can't leave the house (Even for Lunch) on the Day when Brasil Will
Play. We will have more or less 13 P-days This Transfer. I will be making a lot
of pizza haha.. I am glad i learned how!
I am loving brazil and this wonderful area as well this
language. I hope to continue learning and growing. I know God and Jesus Christ
live. I know The Book of Mormon is True, I know Jospeh Smith was a Prophet and
that this being true President Thomas S. Monson is the rightful man Called of
God to be our Prophet.
Love Forever,
Elder Riches
