It was a hectic P-day last week and during internet the
power cut out because a transformer blew up. We shopped and got haircuts.
Unfortunately all of our lessons fell through.
Tuesday was better lesson wise we had some fall through but
not all. I did divisions in our area with Elder Walker, Elder Bourne went
with Elder Olsen. We went to visit Dxxxxxxx and taught him about fasting and,
of course, he understood it all perfectly. I was quite surprised how well Elder
Walker already speaks Portuguese. It is amazing and it is only his second
transfer.
Wednesday we started by doing contacts in the morning. We
were super blessed to get a lot of them.
We taught a first lesson with a wonderful couple, Dxxxxxxa
and Axxxxx. I am not 100% sure why it was so different or amazing but it was.
The spirit was so strong. They
understood everything we taught and when or if they didn't, they would ask
questions. At the end of the lesson we asked them to be baptized. They had a
couple of small questions but accepted with excitement. During our second
lesson with them we taught about the Priesthood. Dxxxxxxx understood so well that
he compared the Priesthood to a key that
opens a door. He said without the key, (or Priesthood) we can’t open the door
to truth. I was so impressed.
We had a lesson with Vxxx and Dxxxxxxx. They are a reference
from some other investigators. It was a good
lesson.
We had a lesson with Pxxxxx and Axx. He said his boss is
back in Beira which means he will finally get paid and can get to work on their
documents. It was a great lesson because they are reading and understanding the
Book of Mormon.
We also had a lesson with a new family, Mxxxxx and Gxxxxxxx
which was awesome. The lesson went really well. They are a really good family. Our
second lesson with them didn't go as well. I am not quite sure why, but it was
sad. But we had a great lesson with Zxxx and Axxxxxx. Zxxx plans on getting his
documents next week. I really hope he does.
This past week we have not had dependable running water. The
blessing is that four times daily Fipag forces water for 1 hour. That hour is
when we fill water bottles and do dishes.
Sunday I gave a talk on “The Covenant People of the Lord” and
although it was pouring rain we had families who walked through the down-pour
to come to church. For one of the families it was their first time coming to church.
I was impressed with these families. Our day following meetings was pretty solidly laid out but a
bit of it fell through. We did have a
miraculous lesson on Sunday for two reasons #1 it went through, #2 Pxxxxx
finally got paid and said he is going to start working on his documents tomorrow!
We taught English class that went fairly well. I am really
very impressed with how well some people can pick up English.
