The Brazilian Adventure: Week 32 January 6 -- January 12

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends

  There has been a lot of cool miracles this week when it comes to finding people. We have this new investigator, her name is Egliça. She was so prepared. She loves the plan of salvation and she loves the gospel of Jesus Christ. She has done some things in her past and she is loving the part about repentance. She has a desire to change her life and to improve. I´m just so glad to be a part of that. Elder Salles has been on a lot of splits and Elder Gutierrez and I have been teaching her, she has been asking some great questions, but there has been some times when we couldn´t answer some, because we didn´t know what she was saying exactly or we didn´t know some words in Portuguese to tell her. But I think this week we are going to get a chance to meet with her with Elder Salles. 

   On Saturday we were also doing some contacts on the street and we found this mother. She started to talk to us and told us that we can go to her house the next day. We left her the pamphlet of the Restoration for her to read and we invited her to church. The next day, on Sunday, a member came up to us (the member that we asked to go by and take her to church) and she told us that the lady said that she couldn´t make it to church because her mom was coming over from some state that is far away, but that she read the pamphlet and prayed about it and that she was really excited for our visit that day. When we came over, she started to tell us how she has been praying lately for God to give her religion and that she wanted to find God more and know more about his teachings. But she told Him that she didn´t want to go back to her same church. And then we found her on the street the next day. She said that she read the pamphlet and that she received her answer and she believes that it is true. She started talking about how she was receiving good feelings into her heart and some great thoughts into her mind. And we helped her realized that that was her answer. And we talked about how the holy ghost worked. It was awesome. I have been praying a lot for opportunities to help find the elect. and the lord is helping us. I´m praying with faith and having a great desire to help Gods children who are ready. And I have been receiving these great opportunities. I just hope I can take care of them and help them even more. I hope I don´t loose them. 

   My companion is learning a lot. He is so secretly funny. It is so great. I love my mission. I am learning so much. Well that is it for now. I´m out of time. 

Be happy. 

Love, The Elder Jones
