Hey y'all, its been pretty much the same deal this week as
last week. Only this week, we taught a very choice and cute family.
So, the day before we taught this family, we had the
idea to make a cake, and buy a present for Bernardo. A kid who is turning 8
today. and so we did that, and asked a member to make the cake for us, because
we didn't have time.
Anyway, we brought the cake and the present in with
our little letters in it. and we sang, and he opened his present, and read the
letter. and when he was reading the letter we wrote, a tear went down his face,
and was so grateful, and I just felt so so good. The family is poor, and they
cant afford cake or toys for their kids for special occasions. So they were so
touched, and I was so grateful to God that I was able to be a part of that. and
we ate the cake, and talked a little. Then we had our lesson. The lesson was so
special. So so special. we gave a lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and
talked about temples. But the coolest and most tender part of the lesson to me
was this.. and I need a little back story. Elder Ferreira and Almeda (Elder
Alva~s companion) taught them when we attacked that area^, and committed
Bernardo to baptism, and asked the mom and him to pray to God to ask if the
church is true, and if their message is true. and so today, Ferreira asked if
they did that. And they did, and she testified to us that it was true, and told
us that she's going to follow the example of Jesus Christ, and be baptized. and
She got really emotional about it too, and the same thing with Bernardo. They
both received an answer to their prayers. and after the lesson, we asked the
mom to give the prayer, and while she was praying, she started to cry, saying
how she was grateful that we remembered her son's birthday, and for her response,
and I felt the spirit so strong then. that was the miracle of the day. God
loves his children. I know that this is an elect family.
So, this is big miricle that happned this week!!
