My area is incredible
My comp is great, i could never ask for another
....and.....
There
has never been less doubt than than now that the pure love of Christ is
charity and that such happiness can only come from giving.
How´s everyone´s week been?
This was one more week that flew
buy! I´d say that main even of the week was Gladston´s baptism but that
was also only merely the start. While we were waiting for him to get
there and putting everything together we had a member come up and talk
to me telling me he had a contact for us to make no the street. So we
went out just to meet some ppl he´d talked to waiting on the bus stop.
Soon after Gladston got there and his baptism went off without a hitch.
At the end we had him bear his testimony, something i´ve never seen done
nor my comp. But we put him to the test and it was incredible. He stud
up in the french and started talking about the gospel and ow it's like
amor. How its easy to say i love you, almost to easy. Just like many
church naturally claim to be true. But when someone really loves you its
something you feel deep down, something shown threw actions and felt
almost without even being said. And that is what had happened in his
life as he´d come to know the feeling of the Holy Ghost.
We were so satisfied with that that domingo i don´t think we were
expecting any more milagres, but you should never doubt tool so powerful
as fasting. Greeting ppl at the door who else should appear but that
little family we´d talked to the night before, abvouisly dressed in the
best they could find with they´re kids in hand. It put a gaint smile on
my face and they loived the church, and we naturally marked to find
their house the next day.
Well lets not forget about Joelmá family as well whop´s son Joelmir
has been crucially involved with the church lately. Teachinga lesson
there the othe day i read a scripture, asked them what they understood
and then sat there and watch as they began to give te rest of te lesson
just in there response. Joemla even started giving BoM examples of
Nefí and then went on a bear her testimony in the way of telling and experience she always had in São Paulo. When she lived there she always
used to pass in front of the temple and think to her self, i think one
day i´ll visit this church. Well that chance has now become a reality.
She holding on incredibly strong even after 4 straight days of strong
head aches due to lack of coffee, lol can´t help but laugh.
So after this lesson it was back to the house of this tiny humble
family, who we found living in an abandoned garage (i guess that would
be the best way to describe it) They live their pretty much on a luck
because if son one higher up like the owner find out they´ll be on the
street. But going ba lets remember that pretty much all the work we´ve
been doing lately has been with members by our side. Well as we got to
that lesson or even before that it was incredible to see how all the members we work with start to pull things together for this family.
Its now been three days and these members who know our investigators so
well have even got those investigators with funds to help out this
family. Its like an incredible network of Christ like Charity. Investigators are cutting their children's hair others are giving them
baths and yet others donating food or clothing or toys. And then
there´s me who finds half this out just by a member showing all the
quick video of the service she´d taken on her phone. Anyways the mom of
this family (who i didn´t even know read) reads every pamphlet we give
her from cover to cover and i´m psyched to give them a BoM tmorow.
Would you believe it if i told you i had yet one other blessing in
week? Cause i did as E Duerden called me from Maceió the other day with
good and bad news that my recent convert family hadn´t been to church
the other week but after visiting them and taking away doubts they began
to remember that spirit thats so important. He said its incredible how
elect you can tell someone is when interuptions try to keep you from
giving a lesson. He went on to talk to them about how yes, the bible
doesn´[t directly skeap Joesph Smiths name, but nor doesn´t the bible
ever say the name Jesus Christ directly. Why? Because we believe in
the great gift of revelation, we have been given the ability to be
directed and feel the holy spirit. OUr direction our faith and our
testimony must and should most definitely be founded on this. At the
end of the lesson everyone was in tears and Duerden naturally took a
picture. Later that day i called that family with Dunkley from the
pres´s phone and bore my own testimony. i love them
Well now its off to integration night
I love you all,
Elder Neuberger
