Another Week on the Island

Olá,

Wednesday we went to Porto Judeu on a bus, another city to pass a member family. Turns out we took the wrong bus than went down to the city instead of to the top, haha. We had an hour walk up the mountain on a little dark road with cows on both sides and eventually got there.

I made a list of the Former Investigators by areas in the city. It's super useful to have. We have been doing a lot of area book cleaning and organizing too.

I found a bunch of my mission President's weekly letters over the past few months so I have been reading, studying and in my´study journal writing a few of the principles that he wrote then below the promise that he gives us when we do these things. It´s been great and I am excited to study more this week!

Lucia came to church and loved it, after we passed by taught the Word of Wisdom and made a baptismal calendar for her, she has been reading a lot in the Book of Mormon and has a testimony of it. She said, "I have been smoking and drinking coffee for 10 years, but I will stop both this week because I want to be ready for baptism. She showed us a Jehovah Witness´s Bible that she had been reading for a while, but we explained that it wasn´t really the bible, the scriptures were changed so much that it wasn't accepted to be the Bible so it just says, Sacred Scriptures. Then we read a few scriptures from Elder Noad´s Bible and looked to her JW bible and those verses were not there. She then told her son to put it in the trash haha

Sunday night we were about to go back to the church to have a little Sacrament meeting for a member who can't make it in the mornings because of work. I said let's just knock this door, teach whoever is in there and then go to the chapel. We knocked, Grace opened the door, we entered and taught her the Restoration and left a Book of Mormon, then returned to the chapel.

Até Proximo.
