Tuesday we walked an hour to São Mateus to do some finding, turns out we just had to knock 3 doors to reach our goal of 2 lessons on the day.
Wednesday Fatima, a member, called us and said "Sorry I have a friend here that wants to hear about the Book of Mormon, can you come teach here?" It was perfect because our other appointment had fallen through. Her name is Marcia Silva and she is from the Fraquasia São Pedro, Pico Island, (Probably a distant relative of Ed Silva) Crazy. She is awesome, loves the book of Mormon, came to church and wants to be baptized, but she returned to Pico last night, hopefully the church will open there soon!
Friday was a rough day with 5 of our investigators falling through, 4 of then that we thought for sure would be baptized in the future, It was 9:20, we still hadn't taught and we started heading back to the house when I had a feeling to knock a door we net and taught Laura who is super cool and has a lot of interest in the Book of Mormon. Faith Brings Miracles!
Saturday we were knocking some doors in Angra and ended up knocking on the door of a Evangelical Pastor (for over 20 years) named Carlos who we had talked to some time ago, he invited us in and we had a long discussion about a lot of doctrine points, I then asked him what he thought about the Church of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon, I testified of the truthfulness of these things then looked at him in the eyes and I said, "Carlos, do you have enough Faith to ask God if the Church of Jesus Christ is restored on the earth?" A nervous look came across his face then an avoided response. We helped him download the Gospel Library app on his Ipad to read the Book of Mormon. who knows for the future, a little humility and the Lord could have an incredible leader in his church.
If you haven't already I recommend seeing the "Be the light of the World" Video on Mormon.Org it is incredible and will bring the spirit of Christmas in your home. We have been showing it to a lot of people here.
Depending on weather we will go hike a super awesome trail or go to an underground volcano for P-day!
Boa Semana!
