More Baptisms!
So last week we baptized Sâmela who is 14 and this week Viniceus who is 2 months older than Gavin. Sâmela we found through some members who were close friends with her and she was actually already taught all of the missionary lessons but in that stage in her life I guess she wasn't ready to be baptized she said. But when we found her she had no problem accepting and being baptized last week! Through her we were able to reactivate a members sister and bring her older sister Samara to church this week which we are preparing to baptise this week! Viniceus really is a cool story for later but we found him through playing bball at the ward activity which is every Friday and now every Monday. Which is great bc on Mondays i can play(;
We went to Vinceus house and were able to teach his mom and him together. This Sunday was the first week that his mom went to church. It is hard for her to go places because she is taking care of her 96 yr old mom who lives with them. When we told her about Viniceus baptism she really wanted to go but wasn't able to because of her mother, she told us this on Saturday. But Sunday when we arrived at his house, Viniceus, his mom and grandma were already dressed and ready to go to church! They weren't able to stay for all of the classes and the baptism becasue of his gma but they were able to stay for the first 2 classes and loved the church! We really found them at the right time in their lives because they were looking for a new church to go to because of some problems that happened with them at their last church. But also Viniceus brought a friend Gustavo who's 16 and his girlfriend who went for the second time. But about his girlfriend she has suffered alot in her life but ill let you guys about her story next week. Her baptism is marked for this week too.
But just to let you guys know, transfers are today. The assistant pretty much told me that me and my comp will stay one more together! Which will be good because we have a lot of work to do and plus we are 7 straight weeks baptizing so we put up a goal to destroy this last month together and baptize everyone and plus baptize every week till I get home!But, love you guys.
