Week 95 be baptizin

 Mon, Jul 8 

This week was pretty swagger 

Monday was cool, we had a devotional as a mission that was pretty good at the end president Harker asked for all the people who would go home in August to stay that's my group, and he told us that he really needs us to push the carts before we go home, it was pretty cool 

That night we went to revise the baptismal interview questions with Abel and it was pretty cool, he started asking some interesting questions he asked when is the earliest someone could have a baptism date and stuff, and I asked if I he knew of someone who wants to be baptized and he said his girlfriend in a different mission wants to, so we got her info and sent her info to the Elders there, I'd never thought to ask Him for a reference because he was brand new to the city, rookie mistake I guess 

The next day Tuesday we had his baptism interview and we walked to his house in the morning and walked with him to the church and elder huber did his baptism interview and he passed, after the interview he asked if he could just stay with us. And we said sure so we studied with Abel, then came the hour of lunch, and an irma was gonna send us food and I wasn't gonna just eat food in front of Abel, so I planned on just fasting and giving him my lunch, but when lunch came it came with lunch for three because the irmã that day felt like sending three, pretty cool miracle, we all ate lunch and then he went out to work with us, we visited a good bit of people, the lessons were good, we found Eliane who we gave a book of Mormon Abel even bore his testimony about how he's not an elder but he plans on being one one day and that he's really liking to get to know the church and reading the book of Mormon, we visited Maria Eduarda and taught them both about the temple, afterwards we went to drop him off at home but he couldn't enter his house because he didn't have the key and his uncles weren't home, so we then kept working with him until 9pm, we taught his girlfirend with the elderes of botucatu , we taught maria isabel about the restauration with him, overall it was a good day, multiple members that day thought he was an elder, and now he really wants to serve a mission even more now, 

Wednesday was cool we had interviews with president and zone counsel, 

My interview with president was pretty awesome, one thing I've learned these weeks is that deciding to embrace hard things rather than running from them is way better, you grow from it, it's even more relaxing than laziness, I also learned that Satan really wants me to be lazy here now that I've only got 6 weeks left of my mission, but he doesn't try to stop things that aren't important, 

Also I've always said that on my mission I'd learn what I wanna do with life, anyways I thought it would never come, but it came last week, life has never been clearer god gave me eyes to see

Zone counsel was pretty good too

Thursday

I woke up sick, died, but then worked again

Friday

We had a fire lesson with Pedro poliana and dante, we told them about their divine potencial and we wanna help them 

Saturday

Was epic we went and bought/grabbed some sagaldos the julio and arte bought foe the baptism, then we ate lunch with a member in rami, after we taught Sheila and maria eduarda, and they gave us some money to buy a soda for the baptism, which was dope, 

We filled the font and I turned on the heater, after about 2 hours I checked the water and it was still cold, I checked the heater and it had turned itself off, so I guess all the jokes we made about Abel being baptized in cold water came true, with some prayer we got the heater back on and it turned on but it was little to late, we had a great baptism, and Sheila came out of her own free will and even brought a cake she made for the baptism, Sheila is an elect, 

Good week over all
