ALO!! I´m alive and well! Me and Elder Nak started off the week using the
bathroom 10x per day...we ate something funky, but all is good now! I went on a
division this week with one of the young men in our ward, Tiago, who´s preparing
to go on a mission. Elder Nakazoni went with our mission leader, Cristian. It
was really successful! Dad would be proud of the numbers we did hhahah! We
taught a guy, Jose Ribomar, that has major problems with drinking. He lost
everything to alcohol, including his family. He is living with his brother in
law and his family who treat him very well. When we got to their house, he was
shaking and really stinky being a little bit drunk still from the night before.
We taught him about repentance and baptism. We told him pretty much that no
treatment or anything will help his problem, only exercised faith can help. He
was way humble and willing to learn and change. We invited him to be baptized
and he accepted! Thursday we went to 3 public schools here and marked days that
i can teach english! 1 of the schools, i taught the same day! I taught 5 classes
with 50 students in every one! We made these forms explaining about missionary
work and about the church in English and i taught it! The first class was a
little nerve racking with all eyes on me...i almost pulled a Summer..."BOO!"
hahaha! The classes were people of every age as well...even adults! Through the
questionaires, we got the names and addresses of over 200 people that wrote down
that they wanted a visit from us! We wont be knocking random doors for a
while... Friday we visited Jose Ribomar again and WOW, he opened the door, and
we saw a guy completely shaved and cleaned up in nice clothes! What a drastic
change he made in 2 days! 2 days before he looked like every other drunk with a
scragly beard passed out on the sidewalk. He even talked clear and everything as
well! Strengthened my testimony of the gospel and how it can change, literally
change, someone´s life! Saturday we had Fabio´s baptism! Everything went smooth
and had the support of the whole branch! People brought food and everything for
after! Fabio is straight up solid and will help the branch here a lot! We later
taught a young lady who is the niece of a member that wants to know more about
the church! When we taught her the restoration, She cried and was like this is
the answer i´ve been waiting for! We hardly even got a chance to study this
week, we´ve been so busy! We started at like 9 am every day and didnt get back
home until 10:30 or 11! Thats about it for this week though! More miracles
coming soon!
