haha yeah there are just so many people here in guarabira!!! its an entire city to ourselves (three companionships)
i am already running out of
time so i would like to write about a woman named Vitoria:
It was last p day, after we passed internet we went to eat some açai, we were sitting there talking about futbol (soccer) when this lady came walking in just staring at Elder Stacy (the more whiter of us) and she looked to elder oliveira and said "are they from Germany''?? he explained that we were from the united states and we are visiting for 2 years..... she was aww struck, i doubt she had ever seen an american in her life... and it was in this moment when i felt something.... usually i dont get this feeling on P-day because i mean... its pday, i dont really go looking for investigators on p day... but anyway, i felt something and i opened my mouth: i asked her name and asked if she had ever had an american visit her in her home... she said no, i asked her were she lived and she said she lived in another city that was far away.... i told her that i would walk night and day if she
promised to let me in when i knocked on the door..... she laughed a little and gave us the address.... her name had been stuck in my head everyday this last week until thursday when i finally decided we would go visit her. we found out how to get to the city were she lives, and it would cost about 15 bucks, (which is a lot to risk if she wasn't in the house) we decided to go, the lord would bless us for our efforts)........ we spent about 1 hour looking for her house, she lives on a road were all the numbers are just crazy scattered. anyways we found the house and she accepted our visit soooo happily... as we taught we felt the spirit sooo stroong, before we could even finish the first lesson she was saying to herself "i know that you two are gods servants and i will visit your church" man we were so happy, god had sent an elite.... we were just worried how she would get to the church... when we called saturday to see how we could help her get to the
church she told us that she had already used her SAVINGS to pay a taxi, to bring her to the church... yesterday she made her first visit to the church... next week will be her baptism....the week after, her husband and children.. the lord is so awesome! why did this happen?? im not sure, im not sure if we even deserved it.. but the lord is preparing his children. we are just instruments in his hands....
i will never forget this moment in my mission...
