Permanacendo em Dondo

So to start we had transfers this week and it looks like... Me and Elder Flitton are going to stay put here in good ol Dondo! Super excited because we have a lot of people that we are going to teach that are progressing and this area is so amazing.

This week we had the blessing of being a part of three baptisms of Charmila, Manecas and Artur. It was so amazing and what really hit me hard was when Charmila was bearing her testimony and she talked about how there are so many churches out there and that before she always thought that is was so hard to know which one was true but that when she prayed and from what she felt she knows that this church is true. It was so simple. Just one prayer for 30 seconds and then she said that she is being baptised for the first time and only time because of the spirit that has touched her heart. Wow that really made everything worth it. To be able to be there, to witness the miracle of the Holy Ghost working in lives is such a miracle. Man that was amazing.

ANyways speaking of miracles... We received water!!! HAhahaha we did wash for the first time in almost a month. Super nice to have clean cloths and I got to take a shower so that was pretty much the best too. Right now things are looking really good in Dondo. We have water and the work is really starting to progress. We have 4 people with baptismal dates for the month of October and we are really excited to try and help them to become converted.

WE have really been focusing on helping people truly become converted to the gospel so that baptism is a start of a lifestyle not just a super cool event. We are also preparing to have a wedding here hopefully in the next month or two. Man the work is going great and having water makes things easier too.

Guess we are just ripe for another challenge so... bring it on! hahaha I was reading in the book of Mormon to try and find a scripture to help our investigators and I was reading about the Nephites and how every time they started to receive blessing they got prideful and got hit with some serious trials. SO right now we are working our tails off to remember to whom we are forever indebted to for every blessing that we receive in this life and the life to come. In reality Christ is everything. Without his touch on our lives there would be no point. There would be no purpose. So moving forward we are making Christ our Purpose.

 Hope that everyone out there is doing well and im going to have to say tchau until next week.
 Love you all.
