Vila Bela Week 4

So this week has been great. We have found a lot of new people to teach. We are really doing our best to help the work progress this week. Also we had a little miracle that happened on Sunday. Also on Tuesday we had a ``snack´´ with the district, but I forgot to take a pic.

So even though we have found a lot of new people to teach, we had almost no one to go to church this week. Elder Londoño and I were a little sad, but we prayed that Heavenly Father would bless us with someone. Anyway we had been teaching this young man Luan. He hadn´t been making a whole lot of progress. He wanted to be baptized, but he wasn´t fulfilling with the commitments that we left with him, like go to church, and he wouldn´t stop drinking coffee. So we decided that right now he wasn´t ready, and that we would drop him, and he would be ready for some other missionaries. Well that Sunday when we were sad, he appeared there, which made us very happy, and asked why we had stopped going to teach him. We explained to him, and asked about the coffee. He said that he had stopped. So we marked a visit with him later that day, then we marked a baptismal date for June 2nd. This experience really showed the love that Heavenly Father has for all his children. The love he has for me, and the love that he has for the people that I am teaching. I know that this is his work, and I am very grateful to be a part of it.

Thank you all for the support, and have good week.
