Today we started a new transfer and wow our Zone changed a bunch. I and Elder Moreira will stay here nas Palmeiras and will continue to run from lesson to lesson. Hahaha honestly this week was super uneventful. Besides us having bed bugs for the last couple months and so we are going to burn our beds this week and get new ones... haha
But this week we had a lesson that really touched me. WE are teaching this girl named Nelma, she's 18 and has been one of our most difficult investigators. SO difficult at we actually decided to stop teaching her. Anyways we left her on her own for two weeks and didn't hear a word but this last sunday she shows up at church just a completely different person.... just super smiley and excited to be there. We planned a lesson last night and sat down to talk. The first thing she said, I finally did that pray you asked me to do, and I know that this church is true. Wow. Just to see the change that an answer from God makes in the life of people is incredible.
This week we had a baptism of a man named Jeramias. He also is 18 and his life story is just one of difficulty and loss. but here he is after all this getting baptized and I haven't ever seen him this happy, Saturday night after the baptism he called us for about 10 seconds just to say that he was so excited to receive the Holy Ghost the next day.... YEah he is awesome.
Love yall so much, the gospel changes lives and changes people. I know its true and I know the people we teach here know its true.
Love yall until next week. Elder Thornton
