The Brazilian Adventure: Week 81 December 16 -- December 21

My Dearest beloved Family and Friends:

Merry Christmas!! It doesn´t even feel like Christmas. It is so strange. I´m excited this week to be able to talk to my family! it is going to be sweet. 

So like I was telling you guys last week, we helped this family come back to church and the bishop is really happy. He told me yesturday that while back ago, the members were trying really hard to bring this family back to church. But they weren´t able to. They stopped trying and moved on with other families. So the bishop was surprised and very thankful. Alan, the father, latter told us that when we came to see him, he felt the spirit really stong. He said that he felt the spirit of the Lord telling him that now was the time for him to come back to church. And we just invited him simply to come back and he said that he would, and he did. He also told us that he wanted us to teach and baptise his young son. And happly did. We are wroking a lot with this family and today we have a family home evening with them and they invited there neighbors to come and we are going to have more people to teach. 

I´m so thankful for the spirit of the Lord. We didn´t do anything, we just invited and God did the rest. It is amazing to see someone to come back with that power. 

I love you all and again, I´m excited to speak with my FAMILY!! oh yeah baby!

Be happy 

Love the Elder Jones
