The Brazilian Adventure: Week 74 October 27 -- November 2

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

Happy Holloween!!

My companion and I are having some cool experiences following the spirit to find some people. This weekend we baptised  Maria who we found about a month ago. I wrote about her in the week 68 letter. That is how we found her. It was so awesome. Yesturday she did a fast and payed a fast offering. She is so great. And now we are teaching more of her family.  

I had another great experience finding some people. One time I was talking to this lady and doing a contact on the street, the lady wasn´t supper interested and she was talking a lot about some random things. I then saw a young man and women behing her walking towards us. A deep feeling came over me, a prompting to speak to them. The Lady was still talking a whole lot and I didn´t want to be rude and cut her off. Then the two walked right past us and I started to think that maybe I will just let them go. But then the feeling came again, a strong prompting. So as I promised the Lord that morning, that I was going to follow every prompting that he was going to give me. So I cut her off and said sorry and then I ran after the two and started to talk to them. (which is something that I would normally never do, run after some one to speak to them) When I started to speak to them, they didn´t seem so interested. And I was confused for a second, but I knew that the feeling was from god. I knew that he wanted me to talk to them for some reason. So I was just about to ask for a referal, when all of a sudden she told us to go visit her mom that lived down the street. And then I knew why, God probably wanted to us to teach her mom. The next day we went there. And it turns out that her mom and family was taught by the missionaries 5 years ago. Her name is Maria Lucia (Everybody´s name is Maria here) She lived there with her 7 kids and huband. We taught the first lesson about Joseph Smith and at the end, we invited everyone to pray about our message and ask god if it is true. Everyone said that they would, except Maria Lucia. We then asked her why? What she said next surprised me. She said that I don´t need to pray, I already know that this is the only true church, God told me 5 years ago. I was just disobedient back then. It was awesome. We just have to start working to get here and her husband married now. And that is a LONG processe. But we found a great family. 

Love you all, I´m doing supper good. It is tough at times, but the sweet moments make it worth it. 

Be happy
