Week 57 - Camaragibe

Dear friends,

We have had a great week. We have kept super busy and have been finding a lot of new people to teach which is always great. Sister Vasquez and I work together really good. Next week is transfers which I don’t even know how, but we are hoping to stay together again! We have been talking with everyone on the buses and on the streets and then using everything that President taught us in the zone conference and its super exciting to see the difference that it makes. One lady literally seemed like she was waiting for us. The first time we met her she didn’t have very much time to talk but said that we could come back the next day. When we went back she told us that she was anxious and excited to see us again. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and she became super interested and excited to read.

Also our 13 year-old investigator was baptized on Saturday. It was really cool because his whole family went and supported him. He was super happy and he can’t wait to pass the sacrament. When I think about the difference that the Gospel will make in his life if he continues to live it, it makes me happy. I think he'll make a huge difference in his family and with his friends too.

The start of this week we had a lot of extra time to study because of the holiday. I loved all of the talks that we read. I read one about become a consecrated missionary.  It made me so much more motivated to do everything exactly the Lord’s way even down to the little things. I also read a cool one about the doctrine of families and how, even though the world’s view on families has changed, it hasn’t changed in God’s eyes.

Our other new converts are still doing great. One has been teaching with us and she is a natural missionary. But anyways everything is doing great here. Thank you so much for everything. Love you guys!

Love,

Sister Bedke
